    Description (by Rebecca)

    My favorite tape - hands down. Absolutely worth the extra cost. When I need to tape a lid down, I apply one strip of the wider type vertically, pressing down the top downwards and removing it top down as well. Obviously not suitable for those with silicone allergy, but for the rest of us, it's about as eyelid/eyelash friendly as a tape can get.

     

    Please note that there are a variety of tape application approaches. Vertical does not work for everyone! Believe it or not there are even youtube videos on the subject. Experiment till you find the method that seals your lids the most effectively.

    Did not help my dry eyes

    The tape itself is a good product. I was hopeful that my dry issue might possibly be that my eyelids do not completely close at night, so I gave this a try. Unfortunately, it did not help with my dryness at night, so most likely eyelid closure is not my issue.

    Sorry that the tape did not help. If you want to know whether your eyelids are closing at night or not, I'd recommend scheduling the first appointment in the morning with an eye doctor. The residual signs of exposure are more obvious early in the morning.

    It's AWESOME if you have Lagophthalmos!

    My eyes do not close all the way at night and even using a sleep mask did not hold them shut. I have tried a lot of different things over the months but this tape is my eye saver. It is gentle but strong enough to keep my eyes closed at night. It is not stiff and is soft enough to put on your eyes and still get a good night sleep and the tape doesn't feel strange or keep me awake. I have had such a change in my eyes since using it. Thank you Rebecca for your videos on YouTube! This is definitely going to be a regular order for me!

    This tape is fantastic!

    Because my eyes will not stay completely closed during the night, my eye doctor recommended this tape. Specifically, this brand - because it’s the best!

    Best relief for eyelids that don't close...

    I have very dry eyes. And my right eyelids don't close when I sleep. Not good.

    Rebecca recommended I try this tape to keep my eyelids closed through the night.

    It works great.

    My eye is moist when I wake up.

    And the tape comes off gently.

    Thanks for your help Rebecca.

    I do really like this tape. It’s gentle on the skin but my eye is still watering at night which then loosens the tape further. I tape it correctly as in stated in how to apply. Paper tape has fine the same thing but i definitely like the feel of this tape better. I’m going to keep trying. Great product though my just be my eye lol
