Eyeseals 4.0 Sleep Mask – Clear – Moisturizing Eye Masks for Sleep Keep Dry Air Out – Latex-Free Eye Mask Great for CPAP Users

Comfortable. Seals well. Works as I need it to. I actually bought this to address ocular hypertension that is exacerbated by side sleeping. There are medical studies about it, and the use of goggles to try to prevent pressing your face (and thus lower eye...) into the pillow while side sleeping. The study I read showed 2x-4x increase in internal eye pressure due to this while, and googles used in the study (not EyeSeals, but no product was named) nearly eliminated it. Eye pressure rises at night naturally due to being horizontal, but preventing mashing your eye into the pillow greatly addresses the huge spikes in pressure that were seen in the study. The EyeSeals trap a decent amount of moisture in them, which is their designed purpose. I've not found a downside to that, even though my eyes close fully and I don't require this capability. The googles do leave a light imprint from pressing on my face, but it is nothing like, say, swim goggles. I don't tighten the EyeSeals all that tight. And the imprint is gone after 30 min or so after getting up. I clean the goggles daily using a dab of handsoap and water. Rinse them well. Drying can be a problem if the towel I use sheds any lint at all, because the EyeSeals are a bit tacky. EyeSeals seem to run large, so keep that in mind. I'm a 6'4" guy and they would be a problem for even me if they were a bit larger. But they work well for me as is. Anyway, hope it achieves what I need, because glaucoma (retina/optic nerve damage from high eye pressure) is a big deal. Cross fingers, I'm okay so far. But I came across this potential issue from sleeping and hope the EyeSeals do the job. The proof will be at my next eye checkup. I'll tell my doctor about the goggles and see what he thinks. UPDATE: The fully sealed nature of the goggles would result in increased air pressure against the eye if, say, I pressed my eye against the pillow while side sleeping. It was pressure that I could notice and try to prevent while conscious, but once asleep it would happen for an unknown period of time. Not good for a guy trying to eliminate external pressure against the eye. Solution: I used a leather punch -- the kind for putting holes in belts -- to punch a small hole in each lens. I first tried using a small drill, but the material is too flexible for that to work well. The punch appears to have worked great. It's an inexpensive punch you can buy here on Amazon or many other places. I've been using the goggles with the vent holes for a week now. It completely prevents the air-pressure issue. Surprisingly, it appears to have not lowered the moisture content in the goggles by any appreciable amount. I still have dripping condensation in each eye cup in the morning. So if this idea appeals to you to reduce eye pressure but you are concerned about losing moisture, well, in my case that has not been a problem. YMMV.

Pros Works for dry eyes. Reasonably comfortable. Short learning curve. Cons Lasts if used every night just 3 months max. Then flattens out and does not hold moisture. Expensive Lost one star for cost.

I have a rare, incurable condition known as CPEO (chronic progressive external opthalmoplegia), which causes a loss of function for the muscles around the eyes. This leads to the eyelids drooping worse & worse over time, to the point where they are nearly shut & you have no ability to use the muscles in your eyelids to open them. Since the condition is not curable, the only option is to try to combat the symptoms... which means having surgery to place silicone slings through the eyelids, into the muscles of the eyebrow, and anchored in the forehead muscles, so the brow & forehead muscles can be lifted to help open the eyelids. While this greatly helps to open the eyelids, the downside is that the lids stay open all the time, which leads to them being dried out a lot & susceptible to injury. Shortly after my surgery, I scratched a cornea when my open eye rubbed against my pillow in my sleep. The corneal abrasion became infected & I spent literally every other day for a month at the eye clinic, using several different specially formulated antibiotic drops to get in under control. There was concern I could potentially have permanent vision issues in that eye, or even lose it altogether, due to the scarring. Thankfully, it eventually cleared up & was not in a spot that effected my vision. To avoid having something like that ever happen again, my Dr. & I agreed that I needed to sleep with a mask. The problem was that most other masks skipped around a lot while I was sleeping, and I'd wake up with the edge of the mask almost rubbing on my exposed eye. Most masks w/ foam pads to cover the eyes were no good, because they press right against the eye, so my eyes just rubbed on the mask itself. I needed something with eyecups that didn't press against my eye, and even tried swimming goggles. They were incredibly uncomfortable, and they moved around a lot. Finally, I discovered this mask from Eye Eco & it has been an absolute game-changer. The cups aren't right against my eyes, the headband is super comfy, and the rubber keeps it from sliding around too much while i sleep. The only cons really are that the headband looses elasticity kinda fast... but you can buy more time by tightening the elastic straps & then doubling them over back through the strap adjuster to keep them from slipping/loosening. They also don't last too terribly long. I've have probably somewhere in the neighborhood of 8-12 of these by now, and they seem to last about 3-4 months on average (5-6 if I'm lucky) before the rubber breaks apart on the side where the strap is connected. At $60 a pop, that's kind of a bummer. That said, it's a heck of a lot cheaper than constant bills from the eye doc, or potentially losing an eye.

My eye doctor recommended this mask for dry eye aggravated by CPAP use. I found the price to be rather high, but I’m willing to pay that if it works and gives me some relief. This mask is rather rigid and didn’t fit properly across the bridge of my nose leaving gaps no matter how I tried to adjust it. Tighter, looser, placing it up higher or lower, it didn’t make a difference. I woke up in the middle of the night with my eyes drier than they’ve ever been. The skin around my eyes was moist, but my eye balls were very dry and uncomfortable and I had to get up and use eye drops. In the morning I had bags under my eyes where fluid had settled from the pressure of the mask on my face, similar to under eye bags I’ve experienced with some types of CPAP masks. This is just a no go for me and I will stick to my silk sleep mask which works better for me. The silk type of sleep mask seems to put subtle pressure on my eyes, keeping my lids closed.

I recently tried the Eye Eco Eyeseals 4.0 Hydrating Sleep Mask, and it's perfect for anyone looking for relief from dry or irritated eyes! My wife and both tried it and the mask is comfortable for faces of different sizes and shapes; it fits comfortably and provides a gentle and effective seal that keeps moisture in while I sleep. We’ve both noticed significant reduction in dryness and irritation in the morning – we’ve already ordered a second one for my wife. My wife has sensitive skin and the hypoallergenic and latex-free design didn’t irritate the skin around her eyes. The clear design is perfect for checking the clock at night. I tried several other masks, but this is the lowest profile one which means it is comfortable to sleep on your side, back or front. Just wear it during sleep or rest, and your eyes will hydrate without any extra hassle. If you're someone who struggles with dry eye, allergies, or general discomfort while sleeping, I highly recommend giving this mask a try. It's been a wonderful addition to my nighttime routine!

Just getting use to them in bed but hope they work for me the quality is good and design is good too

Zu kurze Haltbarkeit für den Preis. Eine Garantie wird nicht gewährt!!

It really helps to prevent my eyes from getting dry when I sleep in my air-conditioned room. But it is not cheap. However, it is worth the money.

A mi me cambió la vida. Es de lo más útil que he encontrado para mi ojo seco. Lo combino con gel de systane oitment y es lo mejor. Tiene una vida útil de 3-5 meses, pero vale por completo la pena.
