Devices, systems, and methods for the treatment of clogged glands of the eye

A system for treating clogged glands of an eye, comprising:

• a heated eye mask, the heated eye mask comprising:
• an outer layer of surface material configured to be positioned away from an eye region of a user and an inner layer of surface material configured to contact the eye region of the user;
• a graphene heating element disposed between the outer layer of surface material and the inner layer of surface material in a therapeutic region of the heated eye mask, wherein the therapeutic region of the heated eye mask is a portion of the heated eye mask configured to cover only an area of the eye region of the user extending along the Meibomian glands of the eye;
• an electrically insulating cover encapsulating the graphene heating element;
• and
• a thermally conductive material in contact with the graphene heating element and disposed between the graphene heating element and the inner layer of surface material to evenly distribute heat across the therapeutic region of the heated eye mask;
• an electrical cord coupled to the heated eye mask for providing power to the heated eye mask;
• and
• a controller provided on the electrical cord for controlling the heated eye mask, wherein the controller comprises a temperature control to control the heated eye mask to heat to one of at least four pre-set temperature levels.
