In one form, a projection frame eyelid heater includes a heating element, a frame, and a plurality of flexible standoffs. The heating element has first and second heat producing areas separated by a distance corresponding to a separation of human eyes and having first and second ends. The heating element produces heat in response to an application of a voltage thereto. The frame includes a left temple attachment portion and a right temple attachment portion each having a respective back portion extending downward and inward. The plurality of flexible standoffs is for attaching the heating element to the frame. In another form, the projection frame eyelid heater is combined with first and second insulated wires having first ends connected to the heating element, and second ends, to form an eye mask system.
