Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Temperature measurements	—	The temperature in the chamber of the goggles for Blephasteam device, or between the lid and the compresses for the moist and warm compress, will be evaluated in 10 consecutive measurements over a period of 10 minutes with a micro sensor at the lower lid margin of one randomly selected eye of 10 randomly selected subjects

Secondary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Humidity measurements	—	The humidity in the chamber of the goggles for Blephasteam device, or between the lid and the compresses for the moist and warm compress, will be evaluated in 10 consecutive measurements over a period of 10 minutes with a micro sensor at the lower lid margin of one randomly selected eye of 10 randomly selected subjects.
