Designed and developed by an ophthalmologist and a physicist / biomedical engineer, the product comprises:

• An anatomical eye mask
• A pair of RED microwavable heat packs for HEAT therapy; mainly dry-eye symptoms associated with Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) and Blepharitis, grittiness and irritation, inflamed & sore eyes, nasal congestion and sinus headaches.
• A pair of BLUE freezable cold packs for COLD therapy – puffy eyes, brow waxing, cosmetic (eyelid surgery) and other aesthetic or facial plastic surgery procedures.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
Please consult your doctor or health professional if there is any doubt as to the purpose or method of application of the Opti-Therm product.

HEAT THERAPY.

1. Place the 2x RED heat packs in a microwave oven on full power (about 900-1000 watts) for approximately 20 seconds. The packs should not be too hot to handle to enable manual insertion into the eye-mask pouches (one on each side) but as hot as comfortably bearable once inserted in the mask and placed on the face. NOTE: The RED packs can also be firstly placed in the eye-mask pouches (one on each side) and then microwaved for about 20 seconds. (CAUTION when using this method, always make sure that the RED packs are in the pouches as the BLUE cold packs will pop and be destroyed by microwave heating).
2. In both cases above, if not warm enough, you may consider an additional 10 seconds in the microwave. The timing will depend on the power of your microwave. You will quickly establish the desired microwave duration required.
3. With the heat packs at bearable temperature and inserted in the eye mask, place the mask over the face and adjust the strap to keep it in place.
4. Lie down or recline comfortably for 10 minutes and enjoy the therapy.
5. For sinusitis, lower the mask to cover the sinuses under the eyes or slide up onto the forehead.
6. REPEAT morning and evening for maximum effect.

COLD THERAPY

Never place the BLUE cold packs in a microwave oven by mistake as these will pop and be destroyed by heating.

1. Place the 2x BLUE cold packs in the freezer for about 1-2 hours.
2. When frozen (the packs will remain pliable) Insert these into the eye mask pouches (one on each side).
3. Place the eye mask over the face and adjust the strap to keep it in place.
4. Lie down or recline comfortably for 10 minutes and enjoy the COLD therapy.
5. REPEAT morning and evening for maximum effect.
