About OcuSci Dry Eye Compress
- Machine washable cover
- Can be heated in microwave or standard oven
- Use for heat or cold therapy
Description (Rebecca's)
OcuSci's microwavable compress has a machine washable cover which is very convenient. The material is supposed to hold heat and moisture longer. There's a little silicone-lined nose bridge that may make it more comfortable for some people.
In terms of the strap, it's inch-wide elastic with velcro. The velcro extends right to the end of the top strap which makes it slightly harder to detach, but otherwise it seems fine and reasonably comfortable.
