iplusmile Meibomian Gland Expressor & Eyelid Massage Tweezers Tool - Stainless Steel Forceps for Dry Eye Stye Relief, Eye Gland Care

Love this item for gland expression and for pulling out keratin bumps

When I tried to press the forceps around my eyelid, they slipped off every time.

I got these for the tweezers, as there are many things tweezers could be useful for, other than pressing the eyelids, which seems dangerous. Couldnt rubbing the eyes work almost as well. The tweezers look well made, and are smooth inside and out of the grip area. They come in a sealed plastic pack, looks like they may have been sterilized as medical equipment.The glass rod, however, is just rolled up in a bit of bubble wrap. It is not sterile, not in a plastic pack, and not easy to find. It could easily have been thrown out with the packing materials, or dropped and broken. Why isnt the glass rod in a plastic pack to help identify it? Why are both items not in some kind of box or even a cheap plastic case to protect them, and to have a place to store them together. I will have to find or make something to keep the glass rod in, as you dont normally store a medical device in a roll of bubble wrap. Taking off one star for the condition of the glass rod.

I'm not sure if I'm not using these right, but they didn't work as expected and actually hurt to use. It was very hard to squeeze my eyelids as the tips of the tweezer kind of pinch and slip right off. It's not a comparable feeling and didn't work at clearing the glands either. It could be that I am just not doing it right, but there's no instructions to determine if that is the case.
