WHAT THE MANUFACTURER SAYS

New thermoeyes microwaveable Beads boost and enhance tranquileyes hot and cold treatments.  Made from glycerin, the beads heat up in hot water.  Use a microwave or other source to heat water, let them sit for a minute, remove, insert into tranquileyes XR goggle and wear.  Enjoy repeated 15-18 minute warm compresses with ease.  Beads can also be used to create refreshing 15-30 minute cold compresses to reduce inflammation and puffiness. 

Kit includes four gel packs and one set foam sleeves.

WHAT REBECCA SAYS

Thermoeyes Beads are small bead-filled gelpacks which you heat in hot water and place in a little sleeve then in the Tranquileyes XR goggle, so it can be used as a warm or cold compress.

If you're already familiar with the instant Thermoeyes, this product is a significant improvement. I found it more comfortable, and it definitely lasts quite a bit longer. If I weren't already wedded to a rice baggy, this would probably be my heat product of choice, but for a lot of other people this will be a better choice. For my personal use, I would put it in the sleeve and apply it directly to the eyelids, but I won't vouch for the safety of that approach as it is designed to be used in the goggle.

In terms of convenience, no matter what you get there will be tradeoffs. With instant thermoeyes (the blue type with the disk in the middle that you push in/out to activate) it's very convenient at the time of use, but you have to boil it afterwards and cool it before you can re-use it. With thermoeyes beads, you heat it up to use it and then you're done.
