What’s your dry-eye type?
Question 1 of 3
When do your eyes feel worst?
Question 2 of 3
How long do eye drops help?
Question 3 of 3
Is your heating on yet?
Drops top up water. Your tears are missing oil.
A thin layer of oil from your eyelid glands stops tears from evaporating. When those glands clog, drops wash away in minutes.
86%of people with dry eye show signs these oil glands aren’t working properly.1
Quick math: what do drops cost you?

Warmth unclogs the glands. A towel can’t hold it.
Eye doctors suggest warm compresses because the oil softens at about 104°F.2 A hot towel drops below that in about 2 minutes.3 Watch the difference:
The 5-minute warmth race
Sped up: 5 minutes in 5 seconds. Dashed line = 104°F.
5 minutes, one button. So you’ll actually keep it up.
Cordless, warms up in seconds and switches itself off. Swipe through the whole routine:
1Add distilled water to the reservoir.
2Press ON, then tap the sun button to choose your warmth.
3Rest the soft cup over your eye and breathe. It switches itself off.
4Pop off the cup, rinse and air-dry. No mold.
“I’ve tried drops, masks, the towel. This is the first thing I’ve actually kept doing.”
Heating season makes it worse.
Dry indoor air pulls moisture from your eyes all winter. Quick game: myth or fact?

“More eye drops will fix dry eyes for good.”
It’s a myth. Drops add water, but they can’t fix the oil layer that stops tears evaporating.
“Indoor heating can make dry eyes worse.”
It’s a fact. Heated air is drier, so tears evaporate faster. It’s why winter is peak dry-eye season.
“A hot towel works just as well.”
It’s a myth. Warmth is right, but a towel cools below 104°F in about 2 minutes, before the oil can soften.

Before you ask
How is this different from a warm compress?
A towel or microwave mask starts hot, then drops below about 104°F within a couple of minutes. The Eye Mist holds steady warmth for the full 5 minutes, so there’s no re-heating.
Can I use it every day?
Yes. It’s made for a daily 5-minute routine. If you’ve had eye surgery in the last 3 months, have an eye infection, or warmth has made your eyes worse before, check with your eye doctor first.
Will it get moldy?
Not if you rinse it. Pop off the cup, rinse, air-dry and empty the reservoir after each use, and use distilled water.
What if it breaks?
You’re covered by the OVIO 90-Day Guarantee. If it arrives faulty, stops working or breaks with normal use within 90 days, we replace it or refund you.
