Self-heating compress for moist heat delivery

A self-heating compress for delivering thermal therapy to a human subject, the compress comprising:

• first and second eye-covering portions each configured for application to a respective eye region of the human subject;
• and
• first and second self-heating elements, the first self-heating element contained within the first eye-covering portion and the second self-heating element contained within the second eye-covering portion, the first and second self-heating elements each comprising at least one reactant material reactive with air to generate and release heat for therapeutic treatment of the eye region of the human subject.

A self-heating compress for delivering thermal therapy to an eye region of a human subject, the compress comprising:

• at least one eye-covering portion configured for application to the eye region of the human subject;
• and
• at least one self-heating element contained within the at least one eye-covering portion, comprising at least one reactant material reactive with air to generate and release heat, and further comprising a hydrophilic material, whereby heat released from the reactant material effects release of moisture from the hydrophilic material to deliver moist heat therapy to the eye region of the human subject.
