A smarter way to care for tired, dry eyes. Just five minutes of gentle warmth, followed by eyelid massage.
Developed by corneal specialist Dr Hemal Kenia, the Eylys™ Eye Care Kit is an innovative two-step eye care system combining a temperature-controlled heated eye mask with a specially designed eyelid massage roller.
Whether you're managing dry eye symptoms, spending long hours in front of screens or simply looking for a more convenient warm compress, Eylys makes everyday eyelid care simple, comfortable and portable.
Unlike traditional microwaveable eye masks, Eylys delivers controlled warmth with three adjustable temperature settings and an automatic five-minute shut-off. Simply connect it to a compatible USB-C power source, relax and follow with gentle eyelid massage.

How does Eylys support dry eye care?
Many people with dry eye symptoms have meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), a condition affecting the small oil-producing glands along the eyelids.
These glands produce the oily layer of your tears, helping slow evaporation and maintain a comfortable, stable tear film.
When the glands become blocked or their oils thicken, the tear film can become unstable, contributing to dryness, irritation, fluctuating vision and watery eyes.
Warm compresses are commonly recommended as part of MGD management because appropriately applied warmth can help soften thickened meibomian gland secretions.
Eylys brings together two familiar elements of eyelid care:
Step 1 – Controlled warmth: The contoured heated mask provides a convenient way to apply gentle warmth to the closed eyelids.
Step 2 – Gentle eyelid massage: The accompanying roller allows gentle massage following warming, supporting a regular eyelid care routine.
Eylys is designed to support everyday eye comfort and relaxation. It is not a treatment or cure for dry eye disease, and people with persistent symptoms may require additional clinical management.
How to use your Eylys Eye Care Kit

Prepare: Remove contact lenses and eye makeup. Clean and dry your face and eyelids.

Choose your warmth: Select blue (gentle), green (medium) or red (warmer), depending on your comfort.
-
Relax for five minutes: Position the mask gently over your closed eyes without tightening excessively. The mask automatically switches off after five minutes.

Why we like Eylys at Illume Eye Care
At Illume, we know that consistency is one of the biggest challenges with at-home dry eye care. Traditional warm compresses can be inconvenient, particularly when travelling or trying to fit treatment around a busy working day.
Eylys offers a practical alternative, combining a comfortable, contoured warming mask with a simple massage routine. We particularly like the adjustable warmth, short warming cycle and ability to use the mask without a microwave.
Our approach is always to match the treatment to the underlying cause of your symptoms. While warm compresses can be helpful for some people with MGD, they aren't the complete solution for every type of dry eye.
If you're experiencing ongoing dryness, watery eyes, irritation or fluctuating vision, our optometrists can assess your tear film and meibomian glands and recommend a personalised management plan.
