What are the benefits of steam eye masks for eyes? Can steam eye masks be used for myopia?

Sometimes when I chat with my girlfriends, they say that steam eye masks can relieve eye pain and lighten dark circles. Is this really a benefit? Can people with myopia use steam eye masks?

Using a steam eye mask has certain benefits for the eyes. The steam eye mask will heat up during use, and the steam it emits helps relieve eye fatigue, similar to the effect of a hot towel compressing the eyes. When buying a steam eye mask, you should choose a regular merchant and steam your eyes according to the recommended time. Do not use some irregular steam eye masks to avoid harming your eyes.

If you have myopia, you can use a steam eye mask. Generally speaking, it can have a hot compress effect and can relieve eye fatigue. The effect is still very good, but the most important thing is to develop good eye habits and eye hygiene. You must do more outdoor activities and look into the distance more often to relax the eye muscles completely. At the same time, you can also use eye drops to relieve eye fatigue. These are the most critical. After myopia occurs, you must go to the hospital as soon as possible to dilate the pupil to see if it is true myopia or false myopia. If it is true myopia, you can wear glasses or orthokeratology lenses. If it is false myopia, you must pay attention to the maintenance of your eyes.

This eye mask can only relieve eye fatigue, because steam mainly heats the eyes, just like applying a hot towel to the eyes, which promotes local blood circulation and relieves eye fatigue, but it cannot improve myopia.

Steam eye masks are disposable items and cannot be reused. They have no other functions after use and will no longer generate heat.
