This product is ideal for... biking and skiing. Why would anybody wear it for dry eye? Well, the fact is, they wouldn't if they didn't have to. But if you have a need and nothing else is working, then you try this.
Who should consider trying these:
Guard Dogs Commander 1, Evader 1 or Evader 2 may be for you if:
- You need pain relief. Period.
- You need a really effective budget moisture chamber that will fit over your glasses.
- You wear glasses, and you need a way to test out the concept of a moisture chamber and see whether it will actually WORK without having to spend $500 for prescription moisture chamber glasses just to find out.
- You need something from home. Or can close your office door. Or just don't care, so long as it gets your eyes more comfortable.
They work very, very well. For some people in severe pain, home-bound, or unable to read, these can seriously make all the difference in the world.
Compare Commander 1 vs Evader 1 vs Evader 2?
- Lens style: Evader 1 has a lens per eye, Evader 2 and Commander 1 have a ski-goggle-style single lens.
- Sizing: From smallest to largest, Commander 1, Evader 1, Evader 2.
- Vision: The Evader 1 is going to have somewhat more limited vision (bit more of the tunnel-vision effect) due to a seal around each eye.
Limitations
- Aesthetics.
- Weight. They're not terribly heavy, but much more so than regular glasses, and a lot of people, especially those with dry eye and fibromyalgia, have a low tolerance for any weight on their face.
- Strap, rather than temples.
- The foam padding doesn't go all the way around - there is a gap for breathability under the strap. Since it's covered it's often not an issue, but some people fill that gap with extra foam.
