Description (by Rebecca)
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:
- More versatile sizing (more likely to fit men or anyone with large orbits)
- Better moisture seal
- Vaults higher over the eyes (eyelashes won't reach it)
- Less likely to create skin indentations
On the other hand, a few disadvantages:
- Larger and bulker
- Not compatible with all CPAP masks
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?
- Higher cost.
- Relatively large sizing. May leave gaps on smaller faces.
- Durability issues. The manufacturer warrants it for 6 months, and many people find that they need to replace it within a year.
Bottom line, this product is positioned in my head as "Almost as good as Tranquileyes at the moisture factor, without any of the drawbacks".
Suggested best uses
- Men. This is the first EyeEco product that fits most men quite well. It may be small for some men with extra large hat size.
- Tranquileyes candidates. Many people who used to use, or who have been advised to use, Tranquileyes have switched to EyeSeals as a user-friendly alternative that is lower maintenance and does not touch the eye area.
- Anyone with moderate to severe night dry eye who needs physical barrier protection but does not anything touching their eyelids and/or prefers a transparent product for night use
- Patients with excessive drying due to inadequate eyelid closure (Bell's palsy, complications from eyelid surgeries, etc). We find these vaulting shields often an effective and more practical option for such patients than products that will hold the lids down.
