Eyeseals Hydrating Sleep Mask - Clear - Eye Masks for Sleep to Block Dry Air - Retains Moisture to Soothe Dry, Irritated Eyes and Provides Eye Care Overnight - CPAP Compatible, Latex-Free

I've bought at least 10 of these masks over the past few years, from the vendor directly and from amazon. The good: I've tried, I think, all the sleep masks on the market for my severe dry eye disease. This is head and shoulders above the others. It fits well, the seal is snug, it's extremely comfortable, added bonus of light blocking if you choose a darker color and you like that, is compatible with CPAP, works whether you are a back or a side sleeper. I wake up often during the night and it's easy to get on and off. Moisture forms in the cups and that's a wonderful thing for someone like me. Not so good: The masks wear out after a couple of months at the most. The silicone somehow stretches, so the fit isn't tight, and sometimes it splits, at the nose or at the sides. The strap stretches too (although I see they offer replacement straps now) but usually, the silicon stretching and wrap stretching happen in the same 6-8 week time frame so a new strap would not help. I follow the cleaning instructions to the T and I treat my mask like a soft and delicate flower (it's how I feel about it). I love them so much, I shell out the (now) $65 every couple of months and I charge it to my HealthCare Flex dollars account with a bit of wincing. So do I wish the company would have some kind of send your stretched out one back, get another one half off program? Oh yes I do! But even without that, and with the recent price increase, I will continue to buy them because if you have severe dry eye disease, this is the best thing on the market, hands down. Buy it. Your eyes will thank you.

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.

This mask is a “no” for me. For one, if you have long hair, this mask is terrible. The material is extremely grabby and rips out your hair. Since the front and back of the mask are made of the same sticky stuff, the front part rips out your hair all night even once the mask is secured. Problem 2: if you have a sharp nasal bridge, this mask will leave a massive gap. I can literally see out the middle where it doesn’t connect to my face. As others have said, it’s super uncomfortable in general, so I’m not inclined to troubleshoot much. One thing it does have going for it is the back part of the strap. It’s the most comfortable mask when it comes to the back of the head! I might take this strap off and put it on a better mask!

I have done a lot of research on Dry Eyes. There are so many different causes of Dry Eyes out there that you really need to understand what is causing your Dry Eyes. For me, it was the issue of my eyes not fully closing at night. I don't get dry eyes during the day, just at night. The solution from my eye doctors (I actually went to two different doctors to make sure) was to tape my eye lids close; which needless to say wasn't too appealing. I did however used Glads Press N' Seal one night (read that on the internet) to verify that was the issue. And I did wake up with no dry eyes - but didn't sleep well with my eyelids taped down. So I started to investigate other solutions and found "Eye Eco" mask. I loved the idea that it creates a moisture seal around the eyes. Unfortunately that seal didn't seem to always happening for me. I then found a different mask with the same idea that is broken up into 3 components. The band that goes around the head, the eye sockets that fit on the band via Velcro and then eye cups that fit into the eye sockets. I think these eye cups are made up from polyurethane (very thin rubber) which creates the seal around your eyes. The cups can easily be removed from the eye sockets for cleaning. I found this a much better design because it allowed me to fit it better to my face. I removed the sockets/cups from the band, laid on the bed, placed the sockets around my eyes where they needed to be and then my wife carefully placed the band over the sockets which adhered to the Velcro. What we found out was that my right eye is just barely lower then my left eye. Can't see the difference just looking at me but if you take some type of measuring device and measure from the bottom of the nose up, you can see that there is a difference. That differences is what appeared to be causing the Eye Eco mask to not seal properly around my face. The name of this mask is called Blinkjoy. I did try the S2 eyelid and Facial from Eye Eco and I love it but I found out it has to be used correctly. When I first tired it, I sprayed it on my Eye Eco mask, placed it on my face and I really didn't feel any difference. I then closed my eyes and sprayed it over my eyes. When I open my eyes they started to string, really bad. So I wiped off the spray. But then I tried a different approach that works for me. When I wake in the morning, I still have some dry eyes (my regiment doesn't remove dry eyes completely but does allow me a good night sleep). So I'll remove my blinkjoy mask, close my eyes, spray S2 on both of my eyes and with my eyes still closed I but my Blinkjoy mask back on. I'll let the mask sit on my face for about 15 to 20 mins with my eyes ALWAYS closed (if not, your eyes will start to string). During that time a nice refreshing moisture sensation comes over my eyes as the spray begins to evaporate. After the 15 to 20 mins I remove my Blinkjoy mask and my eyes feel great. Here is my regiment: 1) Wash my face and eyelids 2) I put Systane Ointment on my lower eye lids (See note below) 3) I place my BlinkJoy over my eyes and go to sleep. 4) If a wake before my 8 to 9 hours is up and have some dry eyes, I'll take off my mask and add systane Complete PF or Hydrate PF (don't really see any difference between the two but did purchase both to try them out) 5) When I wake up in the morning, I'll remove my Blinkjoy mask, close my eyes, spray the S2 over both eyes and with my eyes still closed I'll put my Blinkjoy mask back on and give that 15 to 20 mins. When done, no more dry eye feeling and my eyes feel refreshed. I hope all my research is somewhat helpful. Note: I use Systane products because they were recommended by my eye doctor. I started to use the eye drops which is instant relief but doesn't last long. I then used the gel, I like the feeling of the gel better then the ointment (plus easier to apply) but I found that my eyes seem to itch during the day when I used the gel the previous night. I then found Complete PF and Hydrate PF from Systane. Systane claim that it last up to 8 hours in the eye. Unfortunately, for me, that wasn't the case - but I still use if I wake up in the middle of the night. I think it only last 8 hours for those that have dry eye that isn't caused from eyelids not fully closing.

I give them 5 star because they better solve my eye problem then all the other ones on the market (I sleep with my eyes open causing them to dry out. I also sleep on my stomach/side so I need something soft against my eyes). Here is how I have made them work for me as someone with a small head. Just using them as is, they are too large for my head. Thus, I have to yank on one side until the thicker piece that stops them from adjusting enough is on the other side of the adjuster allowing it to side across the ribbon adjusting enough so that it stays on my head. For the first week, it is somewhat of a tight fit but it eventuality stretches to a more comfortable fit. At some point where the glasses are again too loose where they come off in my sleep, I yank on the other side for the the thicker piece to be on the other side of the adjuster where I once again have a tight fit for a week while it slowly loosens up. Using this process, the nose piece will slowly widen. At around the 6 month point, the nose gap is large enough where the glasses no longer keep the eyes moisturized. That is when I buy new ones. It sounds wasteful but comes out to $10 a month where it works really well keeping my eyes nicely moisturized and it is soft enough that I can lay on them without feeling like I am being jabbed in the eyes.

So I have purchased these 2x. Once. Directly with the company and the second time here on Amazon. I had basically the same experience both times. 1. 4S They work as advertised. They adhere via the eye sockets very well and th r keep moisture in, for my size face. I can’t speak for others faces but the suction is enough to keep them on my face when others do not. 2. 2.5S. They headband/strap is very comfortable and if you get it flat and below your occipital bone on the back of your head, it works well with the suction to keep them on. However it tends to stretch out at night and loosen up as well as permanently over time. I was able to make some adjustments but after about 8 weeks it became more and more of a problem. 3. 1S they both broke after the 9-10 weeks of use. For 50-65 bucks I expected a much sturdier made product. If it made it a year I would probably bump to 3 stars. With that said I didn’t put it under any excessive stress. The first one I washed once a week so I thought perhaps the soap dried it out causing breakage. The second time I washed approximately once a week but applied a rubber moisturizer but obviously did not help. If the manufacturer knows something we should do to add to longevity I would be willing to try again. Overall good product that works well but needs improvement in the strap and most importantly for that price point it need to be longer lasting.

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.

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.

Lasted only a few months. Considering the price, you expect something longer lasting. The silicone material was tearing apart.
