How does NuLids compare with Blephasteam?

Benefits of NuLids

NuLids offers a number of benefits when compared with Blephasteam. These are:

Only 1 minute per day compared to 20 minutes for Blephasteam (plus Blephasteam warm up time of 3-4 minutes per session)

In comparison, after using Blephasteam you have to massage your upper and lower eyelids very carefully using a special technique

After treatment with NuLids, your eyes feel refreshed and look more healthy and open. There is no negative effect such as the facial rings around your eye sockets that you experience after a session with Blephasteam

You can easily take the NuLids device around with you when you are on the move and it is light and compact so it is suitable for carrying in your luggage when you are travelling by plane. In comparison, Blephasteam is bulky and inconvenient to take around with you

As space is limited in most homes, it is a major benefit that the NuLids device is such a handy size. This compares with Blephasteam which is bulky

Once you have charged the battery in the NuLids device, all you need to do is press the On button to start it (this puts it in the ready state and you press On again when you have positioned the device ready for eyelid massage)
In comparison, even when fully charged, Blephasteam has to be turned on for several minutes to warm up before use and it gives out an annoying sequence of beeps to tell you when it is switched on, when it is ready, and when the treatment has finished

Does not require a lubricating gel so if you are allergic to them, you may prefer to use Blephasteam treatment which uses just heat and water vapour to soften your Meibomian deposits. However, you can use your own eye drops on the NuLids soft tips provided that they are a viscous gel
May be better if your eyelids are highly sensitive to touch
