Why Wear an Eye Mask for DED?

Dear Dr. Renukaprasad A R,
Can a warm compress improve tear production and dry eye disease (DED) symptoms?
DED is a multifactorial chronic ailment that affects the patient's quality of life in addition to tear function and visual performance. Steam has been effective at warming the ocular skin deeply; therefore, an eye mask that generates moist heat has been shown to promote relaxation and improve sleep quality.
