why shouldn't i use tap water in my eye sauna?
Over time, minerals found in tap water can accumulate and may clog the misting plates in the Eye Sauna. For optimal performance, distilled water is the best choice since it contains no minerals. Demineralised water is also highly purified and suitable to use. While filtered tap water may still some mineral impurities, it can be used as a viable alternative if no other are available.
Distilled or demineralized water can potentially start to be contaminated with bacteria over time. It would be best to not use any remaining water in a bottle 2 weeks after opening. Try and find the smallest bottle you can to reduce wastage.
can i wear the eye sauna while it is still pre-heating?
Yes. If you want a longer sauna session, you can wear Eye Sauna in the preheat mode as it heats to the optimal temperature.
how many times a day can i use my eye sauna?
You can use Eye Sauna once or twice each day. The best time of day to use the Eye Sauna will depend on you and your schedule. If you spend many hours a day in front of a computer screen, you may find Eye Sauna provides the most relief after your working day.
can i lie down while using my eye sauna?
We would recommend that you do not lie completely flat whilst using Eye Sauna. A semi-reclined position such as on a couch or on a bed propped up with pillows is fine as is sitting in an upright position.
will eye sauna cure my dry eyes?
Short answer, no.
Dry Eye Disease is a complex condition influenced by various factors. While applying heat to eyelids can provide some relief, other contributors to dryness and irritation may also be present. We suggest consulting an optometrist or ophthalmologist who specializes in dry eye treatment for further assistance. Typically, ongoing treatments are necessary to maintain eye comfort.
