Self-hydrating microbeads provide targeted, consistent moist heat to help soften thickened oils within the eyelid glands and encourage more normal oil flow. Better meibomian gland function can help reduce tear evaporation, improve tear-film stability, and make the eyes feel more comfortable. LABHeat is microwave activated, requires no added water, and provides a simple, affordable option for daily at-home dry eye and eyelid care.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow does the LABHeat™ Mask help dry eyes?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the most common causes of dry eye is actually a problem with the \u003cstrong\u003eoil glands in the eyelids\u003c\/strong\u003e, rather than simply a lack of tears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese meibomian glands produce the thin protective oil layer that sits on top of the tear film.
