Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Dry eye disease (DED) is a multifactorial ocular surface condition characterized by instability of the tear film. DED is common in ophthalmic and optometric clinical practice, and meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) has been identified as a major cause of evaporative DED. The use of heated eye mask is a common recommendation in the treatment of MGD, aiming to adequately heat the meibum to increase its liquefaction and flow. Several products are available for this purpose (e.g., Bruder Moist Heat Eye Compress \[Bruder Healthcare Company\], EyeGiene® \[Eyedetec Medical\], Blepha EyeBag® \[formerly MGDRx EyeBag, Théa Pharmaceuticals Ltd\], Blephasteam® \[Théa Pharmaceuticals Ltd\]).

This study employs far-infrared eye masks on the acupoints around the eyes, including Jingming, Taiyang, Sibai, Tongziliao, and Si Zhu Kong to assess whether there is an improvement in the symptomatic indicators of dry eye disease.
