Hot compress and eye stye

Hot compress and eye stye

My optometrist recommended that I put a hot compress on my eye four times a day for 15 to 20 minutes. Right now I am currently using a warm face towel heated in the microwave. I have to reheat the towel several time for each 15/20 min session. Could you tell me if there is a better way or where I could find a proper eye compress in the San Diego, CA area?

Hi,

I have frozen peas in a freezer bag which I warm up in a microwave and apply the bag to my eyes wrapped in a clean cloth. I can use the peas over and over again. The same peas can also be used for a cold compress. Hope this helps.
