Eyegiene Insta-Warmth System
Eyedetec Medical has developed and patented EyeGiene® to improve the condition of patients with dry eyes and eyelid complaints.
The convenient and easily carried EyeGiene® system applies gentle, therapeutic warmth to the eyelids for up to 10 minutes, at home or when traveling. The relaxing warmth enhances normal eyelid and tear functioning by improving the flow of natural oils from your eyelid’s glands. The resulting durable tear film reduces eye irritation and its accompanying cornea and conjunctiva irritation.
Invented by an Ophthalmologist to improve the care of patients eyes naturally, EyeGiene® is an advanced solution for improved eye health.
The EyeGiene® Insta-Warmth System combines a soft mask with disposable warm packs for the application of localized heat therapy to the eyelids treating:
Dry eyes
Meibomian gland dysfunction
Blepharitis, Stye, Chalazia
EyeGiene®:
Is Portable, Convenient, Safe, Comfortable and Easy to Use

Re-establishes and Stabilizes the Tear Film…Naturally
The EyeGiene® Insta-Warmth System utilizes a unique source of heat, which rapidly produces warmth for up to 10 minutes. In addition to a relaxing sensation, the warmth is known to improve the flow of natural oils in the glands in the eyelids that are critical for normal eyelid and tear film function.
Eyegiene system FAQ
Q: How will EyeGiene® help my dry eyes or blepharitis?
A: Both evaporative dry eyes and blepharitis are caused by a lack of meibomian gland oil being supplied to the tear film on the surface of the eye. By warming the eyelids with the EyeGiene Insta-Warmth System, the meibomian gland oil is thinned so it flows more easily onto the surface of the eye.
Q: What temperature does the EyeGiene® System reach? Will it burn my eyelids?
A: The EyeGiene® System is designed to provide 104-105F (40C) of warmth to the eyelids. While this temperature is significantly below the temperature commonly recognized as harmful to the skin, if you are sensitive to warmth, place the warming unit into the eye mask with the empty chamber towards the eye. This lowers the temperature provided to the eyelid by 2F. If it is still too warm for you, stop use.
Q: Does EyeGiene® System get hot enough to melt meibomian gland oils?
A: Yes, in most studies done with warm compresses, the target temperature for assisting in thinning the meibomian gland oils is 104-105F (40C) and this is the temperature provided by the Insta-Warmth System when used in conjunction with the EyeGiene eye mask.
Q: How long does an EyeGiene® warming unit last and how will I know when to take the EyeGiene eye mask off?
A: EyeGiene® System reaches it target temperature within 30 seconds and will continue to provide that warmth for up to 10 minutes. It is recommended that the EyeGiene eye mask be removed when you no longer feel the warmth., which may be longer than 10 minutes.
Q: Can I put two EyeGiene® warming units into one side of the EyeGiene eye mask?
A: You should NOT put more than one warming unit into one side of the eye mask at any one time.
Q: To activate the EyeGiene® warming unit, how do I know which side to squeeze?
A: The chamber that should be pressed firmly to activate the EyeGiene warming unit has “Press” imprinted on it.
Q: Does it come with the EyeGiene® eye mask?
A: The Eyegiene® System starter kits come complete with one eye mask and warming units. The refill kit has only warming units and no eye mask.
Q: Can I wash the EyeGiene® eye mask? How often should I wash it and how many times can I wash it?
A: The EyeGiene® eye mask can be washed by hand with warm soapy water or in the washing machine on the Gentle or Delicates cycle and should last up to 6 months with regular washings. Depending on the severity of your eye condition, weekly to monthly washing is suggested.
Q: Do I need a sink, stove, or microwave to use the EyeGiene® System?
A: That’s the beauty of the EyeGiene® System, it’s portable and convenient so no microwave, stove, or boiling is ever needed…just activate the warming unit and dispose of the warming unit when it is no longer providing warmth.
Q: Are there any conditions where the EyeGiene® System might not be suitable?
A: As with any product that produces warmth, individuals may react differently, and if there is a concern patients should ask their doctor prior to use. In addition, do not use if you have recently undergone any surgical procedures on your eyes including LASIK or cataract surgery without consulting your eye care specialist first.
Eyegiene system instructions
- Prior to activating warming units, try on mask, adjusting to fit snugly against your face in the area of your eyes, then remove.
- Take one warming unit out of carton. Note seal in center of warming unit separating liquid from non-liquid chamber.
- Fold and squeeze chamber side of warming unit marked “Press Here” firmly, to force liquid across seal to mix with non-liquid chamber. You will hear a slight pop, unfold and squeeze again to ensure the liquid has been fully mixed with the other side of the chamber.
- Immediately after activating, fold warming unit on seal and insert with empty liquid (”Press Here”) chamber away from eye into opening of one side of the eye mask.
- If applying to both eyes at same time, activate a second unit and insert into other opening of mask. Place no more than one warming unit into one side of eye mask at any one time.
- Place eye mask on area of eyes. For maximum effectiveness, we suggest that you wear eyemask until you no longer feel activated warming units providing warmth (8-10 minutes).
