Can I sleep with a steam eye mask on? Why do my eyes sweat after wearing a steam eye mask for a long time?

At night, I tore open a bag of steam eye mask and put it on my face. I felt my eyes were warm, as if all the fatigue was relieved. I fell asleep while wearing it. There should be nothing wrong with wearing the steam eye mask all night. Why do I feel my eyes are sweating every time I wear the steam eye mask!

You can wear a steam eye mask to sleep. The heat of the eye mask can generally last for about 10-15 minutes, so it is no problem to wear it to sleep, but there is no heat.

Do not wear a steam eye mask for too long, and do not sleep with it on, because the mask is overheated and will burn your eyelids. In medicine, hot compresses are generally used to reduce swelling caused by eye trauma or inflammation. The time should not be too long, generally 15-20 minutes. The general steam eye mask on the market can continue to heat for about 30-40 minutes. This time is scientific and reasonable for normal eye care, but do not become dependent on it. The most important thing is to pay attention to eye habits and eye hygiene.

Heating eye masks relieve eye fatigue by accelerating blood circulation by steaming the eyes with hot air. They do not produce any harmful ingredients, so they have no side effects on the human body.

There are generally no side effects of using a steam eye mask, but you must be sure to identify the brand when purchasing a steam eye mask. If you buy a defective product, it would be bad if the temperature of the eye mask is too high. Once you find that the temperature of the eye mask is too high during use, you must take it off in time. The principle of a steam eye mask is very similar to that of a hot towel compressing the eyes. You can put a towel in hot water at home and then stretch it out and cover your head to achieve the effect of a steam eye mask.

It is not recommended to continue using expired steam eye masks. This is because the heat-generating components in the expired steam eye masks are likely to have deteriorated, resulting in unstable eye temperature during use. Too high a temperature may burn the skin of the eyes, while too low a temperature will not have the effect of hot compress. The liquid that produces steam may also deteriorate or even become contaminated due to expiration. When using a steam eye mask, it may cause eye contamination and cause infectious complications such as conjunctivitis and keratitis. Therefore, it is not recommended for patients to use expired steam eye masks. You can temporarily use a warm towel for hot compress instead of a steam eye mask, which can also achieve a similar therapeutic effect.
