Eyegiene Insta-warmth system for dry eye treatment
Eyegiene Insta-Warmth System heats the Meibomian Glands to release lipid oil that naturally stabilizes the tear film and prevents evaporation of protective eye fluids.
Dry eye treatment for evaporative dry eyes. Warm compress for meibomian gland dysfunction.
How EyeGiene helps your eye conditions
Warm compresses have the ability to decrease eyelid inflammation by temporarily increasing the blood supply. If warm enough, warm compresses can also melt meibomian gland oils that have become thickened due to bacteria raising its melting point. The combination of increased blood supply and thinner meibomian gland oil by warming the eyelids leads to an improvement in the tear film.
Warm compresses have been prescribed for the relief of eye conditions for many years. However, they tend to be messy, inconvenient and only marginally effective. Patients tend to over heat microwavable mask and cloths, which also cool quickly, minimizing their use and effectiveness. EyeGiene provides an easy to use system that heats automaticly to the ideal temperature and stays at this temperature for the required time for meibomian glands stimulation. Daily use helps maintain stimulation of the glands, flushing out mucous that may have become clogged and encouraging natural tear film secretion.
Dry Eye Treatment and Eye Therapy
Research has shown that if you properly heat the Meibomian glands, they will excrete proper amounts of healthy lipids and other oils, and the dry eye symptoms will get better.
Eyegiene is the only FDA cleared medical dry eye treatment device for home use. The EyeGiene® Insta-Warmth System™ combines a soft mask with disposable warming wafers for the application of localized heat therapy to the eyelids treating:

EyeGiene® System FAQs
How will EyeGiene® help my dry eyes?
Evaporative dry eyes 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 and thereby flows more easily onto the surface of the eye.
Do I need a sink, stove, or microwave to use the EyeGiene® System?
That’s the beauty of the EyeGiene® System, it’s portable and convenient so no microwave, stove, or boiling is ever needed…just remove the wafers from their sealed foil package and dispose of them properly after use.
Does EyeGiene® System get hot enough to melt meibomian gland oils?
Yes, in most studies done with warm compresses, the target temperature for assisting in thinning the meibomian gland oils is 40℃-45℃ (104℉), and this is the temperature provided by the Insta-Warmth System™ when used in conjunction with the EyeGiene® eye mask. Unlike other treatment methods which lose heat quickly, EyeGiene® delivers the ideal 40℃-45℃ temperature for the ideal time of more than 10 minutes.
How do I activate the EyeGiene® warming wafers?
The wafers are automatically activated when they are removed from their sealed foil package and placed into the EyeGiene® eye mask.
How long does an EyeGiene® warming wafer last and how will I know when to take the EyeGiene® eye mask off?
The EyeGiene® System reaches the target temperature within a few minutes, giving you time to put on the mask, relax, and get comfortable. The warmth will continue for over 10 minutes. Once the mask cools, you may remove the mask.
Does it come with the EyeGiene® eye mask?
The Eyegiene® System starter kits come complete with one eye mask and 10 pairs (20) of warming wafers. The refill kit has 30 pairs of warming wafers.
Can I wash the EyeGiene® eye mask? How often should I wash it and how many times can I wash it?
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 may last up to 6 months depending on the frequency of washings. Depending on the severity of your eye condition, daily, weekly, or monthly washing may be performed.
EyeGiene® does not feel very warm when resting in my hand, how do I know it is working effectively?
The EyeGiene® warming wafers are designed to work with the specially designed EyeGiene®mask. The warming wafers will not reach full temperature unless placed in the EyeGiene® mask and placed against the eyelids.
Can I put two EyeGiene® warming wafers into one side of the EyeGiene® eye mask?
No, you should NOT put more than one warming wafer into one side of the eye mask at any one time.
Are there any conditions where the EyeGiene® System might not be suitable?
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 or eyelids including LASIK or cataract surgery without consulting your eye care specialist first.
What temperature does the EyeGiene® System reach?
The EyeGiene® System is designed to provide therapuetic level warmth between 40℃-45℃ (104℉), to the surface of the eyelids. While this temperature is significantly below the temperature commonly recognized as harmful to the skin, if it still feels too warm for you, stop use.
I used the original EyeGiene®, how is the new design different?
The new design warms up slower, allowing you time to insert the warming wafers into the special mask, the wafers and mask deliver warmth over an area that is 400% larger, the warming wafers last 300% longer, and the warming wafers are designed to only reach therapeutic temperature when inserted in the specially designed EyeGiene® mask. The warming wafers are also self-activated once removed from their protective foil and placed into the mask.
Eyegiene Insta-Warmth system for dry eyes / Traitement des yeux secs par la chaleur.
How is EyeGiene® different?
EyeGiene® delivers the right temperature for the right amount of time. Unlike many other products, EyeGiene® Insta-Warmth System™ is effective, convenient and easy to use. It delivers medical therapeutic warmth of 104℉ for more than 10 minutes, no microwaves or water needed. By being self activated, rising to the ideal therapeutic temperature and remaining at this temperature for more then 10 minutes, EyeGiene® supports the lowering of the meibom viscoscity within the meibomium glands, thereby facilitating flow of natural oils onto the tear film surface. Daily treatment supports the natural function of the Meibomium glands to secrete tears more freely and increases the tear film thickness by up to 80%.
