EyeSeals 4.0 is one of a series of moisture goggles developed by the company Eye Eco. It's a very effective foamless shield that fills some important niches.
How does it compare to Onyix/Quartz? Some key advantages:
On the other hand, a few disadvantages:
How does it compare to Tranquileyes? I would say that the moisture retention is almost as good, while it does not require all the maintenance and parts replacements. Plus, it's available in a clear version, so you can leave it on if you get up in the night. As a result, this has been my first recommendation for many new users - because it is so user friendly. Less maintenance, less hassle.
Disadvantage or limitations?
Bottom line, this product is positioned in my head as "Almost as good as Tranquileyes at the moisture factor, without any of the drawbacks".

I have very dry eyes and lagophthalmos. I haven't tried the quartz or onyx, as the review mentions they aren't great for those of us with long eyelashes or with very delicate skin around the eyes.
Given the above, I decided to give the EyeSeals a try. The reviews mention they are not a great fit for folks with small faces, and I've found that true, as they gap on me around the nose and outside edges. I was warned, so this wasn't a surprise or complaint. That being said, they do still retain moisture and have made a difference. They provide a shield from moving air from air ducts etc. I find them fairly comfortable, though I do have to cinch them down quite tight to reduce gapping, which can result in waking with a headache.
The elastic on the head strap does get stretched out fairly quickly. I've had these since January (it's April now) and the elastic is quite stretched, but not yet to the point where I need to replace the strap.
I find these fairly comfortable, though they do slide around a bit at night given they are a tad large and I am a side sleeper. Again, can't knock the product for this - only so much they can do.
Overall, these have helped me with the worst extremes of the dry eyes I experience from lagophthalmos. My wish is that they'd make these in a size for small faces, as I think a smaller size would make these just about perfect for me. I do plan to try the Tranquil-eyes, to see if they might work better for me, as my eyes are still plenty dry in…

I love these goggles. They are very comfortable and don’t slip up into my eyes while sleeping. They really create moisture inside the eye cup which I’m sure helps with my eye. I used to use the Onyix eye seal and have found these to be more comfortable.

they help to keep my eyes moist. It is so nice to open my eyes in the morning and they are not so dry since wearing the goggles.

I've used the clear EyeSeals for 3 years now. I have RCE, and they've really helped me not tear corneas in the night. We have a light that can't be fully blocked from our bedroom, and recently study results have been published that having light during deep sleep can contribute to develping diabetes. I've been concerned, and decided to try these when the dry eye shop had a sale. (THANK YOU!!!) They're a true game changer for me! I'm sleeping an hour more each night, and feeling much more rested. I haven't torn or scratched a cornea since they arrived, and the dark color is also contributing to better sleep! They're comfortable, and I only have to mist my eyes right as I go to sleep, then once during most nights.
THANK YOU, DRY EYE SHOP, for carrying these!!!
