    This is mainly for the doctors, but anyone with insight should chime
    in.

    Was wondering if this would be safe for heat compresses.. It uses
    infrared light for heating and infrared supposedly damages the eyes. My
    impression is that any amount of infrared passing through the lids to
    the eyes during compress would be minimal and harmless, what do you
    think?

    $14.53 at amazon.. this is the most practical and economically viable
    thing I have found (see earlier thread:

    Come on.. surely others must care about this.. The notion of having a
    portable device like this for heat compresses is very valuable.. (I am
    not affiliated with this product.)
