I would like to discuss the BRUDER EYE HYDRATING COMPRESS - a convenient, natural way to relieve dry eye, styes, chalazions and blepharitis. Simply microwave the special microbead-containing compress for about 30 seconds, then apply to closed eyes for 3 minutes. The moist heat released from the Bruder Compress helps unplug oil glands and follicles. This frees the oil in the glands to flow onto the eyes, thereby reducing tear evaporation. There is no water, no waiting and no mess. With oil gland secretion back to normal, eyes remain naturally lubricated. Regular use can help dryness from reoccurring.
The BRUDER EYE HYDRATING COMPRESS is also excellent in treating styes and chalazions by clearing follicles and meibomian glands that have become clogged from thickened oil, debris or bacteria.
Monocular and binocular versions of the BRUDER compress are available at my office. They are non-allergenic, reusable, washable, and drug-free.

Avoid a life of lazy eye
If your child hasn't had an eye exam, the phrase better late than never doesn't always apply. Lazy eye or amblyopia can occur when a child is not fitted with needed corrective eyewear at a young enough age. Usually that age is 8. Lazy eye results in less than optimal vision (20/20) even when corrected by glasses or contacts. Lazy eye can affect a person's choice of career, reduce their depth perception and even put the stronger/normal eye at risk for future traumatic injury. Please have your child's eyes examined early and often, ideally at age 6 months and then again at age 3 and every year thereafter. Children are not capable of complaining about their own poor vision until the age of 9 or 10, as they asume everyone sees the same as they do. If they have good vision in one eye, they are likely to be symptom free even longer, but by then amblyopia or lazy eye is there to stay.
