A member asked:
Does using heated eye mask every day for blepharitis (usually for twenty minutes) cause warping of the cornea? or is it safe to use?

This is a commonly used method of inproving the blood flow to the eyelids & improving the healing process. It has been used for years & has no such complications when used as directed.
