I felt reassured today that the Boots optician said, it was a Chalazion. l was starting to wonder because it wasn’t going, whether it was something more sinister.
Oh that's good that you have kept the appointment

I really hope the treatment you are doing works.

Yes susan, l tried it last night. My eyes were very bleary when l took the mask off and I seem a bit puffy under the eyes today. l don’t normally have puffy eyes but maybe l had the mask on too tightly?

The beads are in a separate bag inside the mask. I heat them and then insert the bag through a slot into the mask.

The mask l have got, only goes in the microwave on High for 15 seconds. On Medium, it is 30 seconds.
I am supposed to keep it on for 7- 10 minutes. Silly me didn’t check the clock first and l had to keep peering out of the edge of the mask to check the time!! Next time, l will set the timer on my phone.
