The Eye Doctor Stye Hygiene Kit is a 2-step eyelid care kit that pairs a reusable microwaveable Antibacterial Stye Relief Compress with a Hypochlorous Eyelid Cleansing Spray. The compress is intended to relieve the symptoms of styes, chalazions and cysts, and the spray cleanses the eyelids and lashes, so one kit covers both the warm compress and the eyelid cleaning.

Antibacterial Stye Relief Compress

1. Heat in the microwave only, taking care when you remove it, and do not overheat. For a 0 - 850W microwave, heat for a maximum of 20 seconds. For a 851W - 1000W microwave, heat for a maximum of 15 seconds.
2. Touch the compress to the inside of your wrist to check the temperature before you place it on your closed eyes. If it feels too hot, wait 1 to 2 minutes for it to cool.
3. Tie the strap around your head, adjust it for comfort and sit back for 7-10 minutes.
4. After the heat, massage each eyelid 3-4 times with the tip of your index or middle finger, moving away from the inner corner of the eye. For the upper eyelid, slide your finger down from the eyebrow towards the lashes. For the lower eyelid, slide your finger upward towards the lashes. Wipe away any secretions with an eyelid wipe or a clean tissue.

Most people should benefit from using the compress and eyelid massage twice a day for two weeks. Once symptoms ease, reduce this to once a day, then a couple of times a week as needed. To clean the compress, wipe it with a damp cloth without detergents, and store it in a dry place away from dust and allergens.

Hypochlorous Eyelid Cleansing Spray

Spray onto a gauze or cotton pad and gently wipe over closed eyelids, eyelashes and eyebrows, or along the eyelid margin with a gentle back and forth horizontal motion. Do not use the same pad for both eyes. You can also spray it directly onto closed eyes. Leave to dry naturally. Use 2-3 times a day, or as necessary. The spray is not intended for use as a make-up remover. Use within 3 months of opening, and do not store it above 28 degrees Celsius or in direct sunlight.

Contact lens wearers must remove their lenses before using the compress. Also follow these precautions:
