Scope Health, Inc. is introducing the OPTASE Heat Mask Pro, intended for the delivery of symptomatic relief for ocular surface disease (OSD).
Shall we start with an OPTASE refresher?
Since its launch 10 years ago, the OPTASE brand has expanded to encompass a product lineup of dry eye management solutions such as eye drops, sprays, moist heat masks, eyelid wipes, and gels.
A key component of these products: their use of preservative-free (PF) ingredients to manage the symptoms of dry eye.
- See here for the latest news on Scope and OPTASE.
Now to this latest addition.
OPTASE Heat Mask Pro is an advanced heat therapy mask designed to provide targeted and symptomatic relief for:
- Dry eye disease (DED)
- Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD)
- Styes
- Blepharitis
- Chalazion
How does it do this, exactly?
The mask is built on OPTASE’s Hydrobead moist heat technology, which absorbs moisture from the air and releases it as a consistent source of heat.
By doing this, the heat therapy softens the oils within the meibomian glands and loosens eyelash debris—offering better tear film stability and reduced tear evaporation.
And this heat is distributed across both eyelids?
Indeed it is. Thanks to the mask’s contoured fit and stitching (to hold that Hydrobead tech in place and deliver more targeted therapy), the heat is evenly distributed across the eyelids.
Talk more about its design.
The Pro model mask is equipped with a machine-washable bamboo cover and that aforementioned contoured fit—which also includes a latex-free and velcro-free adjustable strap.
- Its durability: It’s intended for up to 360 daily uses.
To note: The mask itself is not suited to be submerged in water.
So is the mask only suited for moist heat use?
Nope; dual-purpose therapies, in fact. The mask can be chilled for cold therapy to help reduce symptoms of eye allergies and puffy eyes.
How long should it be worn?
For heat therapy: The mask heats up within just seconds in the microwave and should be worn for 10 minutes over closed eyes. Click here for step-by-step instructions.
For cold therapy: The mask should be placed in a sealable plastic bag in the freezer for 30 minutes and worn for 5 to 7 minutes. Click here for more details.
