A busy market

The market is now officially awash with warm compress products. You can heat your lids in at least as many ways as Starbucks can prepare your coffee.

TearRestore is one of the very most recent. So, once again, here goes. And for those who are new to my product descriptions, this is not a review per se. It's never a question of which one is "best" - it's a question of which one is the best match for YOU. Think about your priorities, think about what you do or don't like about whatever you're using now (if anything) and hopefully my description can help you rule this one in or out for a "next thing to try".

So first of all, they definitely nailed the marketing side of this product. Phantom-of-the-opera motif in a pretty color. Simple instructions. Not a lot of stuff to assemble or repurchase. Easy to clean. This is a reasonably lifestyle-friendly product.

Where it fits in

The top selling point of TearRestore is even more conspicuously lifestyle-driven: It's that you can SEE while using it. For many people, that's compelling - and may make all the difference between compliance and non-compliance. If you have a busy life and see a warm compress as a tedious 10-minute chore, you're not going to do it without a compelling reason. I actually think that this is probably a great tool for doctors to get people with mild MGD to use, where it just won't feel like it's quite so much a waste of time.

Then there's the people with more advanced disease, and beyond them, the hardcore educated MGD patients who have become compress connoisseurs. Honestly, I don't know quite what they'll make of this one. On the one hand, the company is showing data saying it heats to 47C and stays above 40C for ten minutes, and they have done thermal imaging to ensure the heat is getting where it needs to go. On the other hand, I think many of us judge by what we are feeling. Our experience is not always an accurate guide, but it's sure a compelling one. Will you feel like the heat is getting into your lid margins? With a one-size-fits-all device that is designed to not cover your eyelids? And, is it lasting the full 10 minutes? This is what you I want to hear from those of you who try it out.

Description (Manufacturer's)

The TearRestore product is the ideal warm compress for your eyes. It delivers therapeutic heat where you need it and not where you don't. This pack includes 2 reusable heat packs which provides as many as 180 treatments.

Each package includes a TearRestore Mask with Hard Shell Case and two TearRestore Heat Packs.

The Days of Washcloths and Microwavable Masks are Over

Cumbersome solutions such as microwavable masks cool too quickly and are a time consuming burden on your daily routine. When performed daily, you will spend almost four full days a year performing a minimally effective treatment

TearRestore Delivers the Relief and Convenience You Are Looking For

TearRestore provides consistent heat exactly where you need it - and it is designed to fit within your daily routine. TearRestore's user friendly device makes it easy to find time to treat your eyes.

Technology

Anatomical Design

The TearRestore Mask is packed full of features:

• Meibomian gland applicators match the anatomy of the eyelid which results in a targeted treatment where you need it.
• Anatomical norms results in a one size fits all design.
• Comfort and durability are ensured through the use of a flexible and resilient polymer.

Reusable Heat Pack

TearRestore's heat pack assures patients and clinicians that therapeutic levels of heat are being supplied to the Meibomian glands at every treatment. Furthermore, TearRestore heat packs are manufactured in the U.S. with non-toxic food grade sodium acetate and medical grade vinyl.

Heat Packs are extremely durable and can be reactivated up to 90 times!

Uniquely Designed

Natural Tear Film Redistribution

TearRestore's unique design, which permits the use of vision throughout treatment, allows for the eyelids to blink which functions to redistribute the tear film over the surface of the eye. Through combining natural tear film redistribution with therapeutic heat, our device has the ability to provide superior irritation relief over traditional warm compress treatments.

Instructions for use

"Click" the Metal Disc: Within the heat pack there is a small metal disc. Press the center of the metal disc with your thumb or forefinger; this will activate the pack and you will begin to feel the heat.

Snap Heat Pack Into Mask: The TearRestore mask has specially designed hooks around the eye holes. Simply match the eye holes of the heat pack with the mask and hook the edges of the heat pack onto the mask.

Adjust Strap: Place TearRestore mask and activated heat pack over your head and adjust to be able to see through the eye holes. Pull straps until comfortable then relax and/or continue your day!

Reactivate Heat Pack: The TearRestore heat packs are easily reactivated in boiling water or a one-click kettle. The boiling water returns the heat packs into a liquid in as little as five minutes. Once the pack has become liquid, simply let cool and reactivate at your convenience.
