Rebecca's Thoughts

This is my personal favorite for night dry eye protection. It was developed by Eye Eco specifically to protect CPAP mask users from air leaks, but after its launch it quickly became my go-to product for a great many people for night dry eye protection with or without CPAP. 

Onyix/Quartz shields are not necessarily the products that provide maximal moisture, but they provide more than adequate moisture for a great many of us and they are small, user-friendly, easy to keep clean, low profile, and in general just very unobtrusive. So although I consider EyeSeals 4.0 superior in terms of protection offered (as well as some other advantages), I have stuck with Quartz for my personal use. 

For CPAP users, Onyix & Quartz should remain the first choice for most people except those with larger hat or orbit sizes who will want to go straight to the EyeSeals. 

I also find that many users like to rotate between products depending on time of year and the severity of their symptoms, so far example they might use Onyix/Quartz in the spring and summer months and then go back to Tranquileyes or EyeSeals 4.0 for the fall and winter when they are battling heated dry eye at night.

Suggested best uses

  • First time dry eye shield users. This is the easiest one.
  • Users who want something low profile and lightweight. This is a great way to block all drafts and trap a fair amount of moisture without wearing anything large, thick, heavy or foam lined.
  • People who have skin reactions to the foam on Tranquileyes but for whom EyeSeals is too big or the material too heavy.
  • CPAP/BiPAP users. I have high confidence of the compatibility of this product with almost all masks. I very rarely hear from anyone who cannot get it to work properly with their mask. (It is returnable/refundable if it doesn't work out for any reason - please see return policy.)

Limitations

Sizing: Onyix & Quartz are  too small for some users, or may sit too close to their eyes if they have large orbits and/or very long eyelashes.

Indentations: People who are prone to edema or who have very delicate, impressible skin around the eyes.

Alternatives to consider

About the product:

Recommended for sheltering eyes during sleep and air travel. Onyix™ (pronounced ON-ix) is an extremely soft, flexible, foamless shield made from silicone.

It gently shelters eyes from drafts and low humidity environments while also fogging up, creating a moisture rich environment while you sleep or rest. That makes it perfect for dry eye sufferers.

Lightweight and comfortable, the product is made in the USA, and is 100% Latex Free.

included in the kit:

One Onyix™ silicone shield

One microfiber travel sack

Usage and Care

What are Onyix & Quartz Silicone Shields used for?

Onyix and Quartz are used for dry eye protection at night and to protect CPAP/BiPAP mask users from air leaks.

Instructions for use

Gently clean face and eyelids to remove all dirt and make-up prior to using Onyix. Your mask is designed to keep moisture in and drafts out. The fit should be comfortable. Similar to finding your perfect shoe size. Not too tight and not too loose. To avoid tearing the mask, adjust the strap while mask is off the face. Once you find the perfect fit, the wrap is designed to stay put.

For increased moisture during wear, add a few drops of water inside of eyecups prior to wearing. The combination of moisture, an enclosed space and body heat creates a natural humidifier for the eyes.

Cleaning and care

To clean shield, wash with baby shampoo and rinse well with warm water. Dry with enclosed microfiber sack. Wash the head band as needed with cold water and mild soap, rinse well, squeeze out excess moisture and air dry. 

Warranty information

This Eye Eco product is covered under a 6 month manufacturer warranty. Refer to eyeeco.com or contact us.

Best I've found

Rain Drops Keep Falling . . . ! Even though I wear these pretty loosely to avoid heavy impressions in my skin, and even though my tear film is minimal, I wake up with moisture collecting on the inside of the cups. I think the fact that they are so close to my eyes helps a lot. They do not touch my eyelashes. I tried EyeSeals 4.0, which are nice, but they are too big for my face. These are much better for me. They don't quite fit inside my orbital bones, so I move them around on my face while I'm awake trying to get the best feel, and if they end up riding a little low they smoosh the skin below the lower edge, causing a pretty deep wrinkle that takes a couple hours to go away. But for my smallish face with high cheek bones these are the best-feeling option I have found. I sleep mostly on my back, but even when I turn onto my side these shields shift a bit and still keep a pretty good seal.

I cannot tolerate foam, so some other goggles don't work. Tape feels pokey and pinchy. Cling film is a close second, but it makes my cheeks feel itchy. (I feel like The Princess and the Pea.) For this picky, sensitive-skinned lady, Onyix is the winner! I almost ordered clear because I already keep my room very dark and didn't think I wanted any chance of feeling disoriented, but - wow - I'm also liking the light-blocking feature of the black goggles. I hope they hold up longer than some people say they do. I am treating them gently and will try to remember to update with any longevity…

These eyeshields Saved my Eyes

I have bought a number of these over the years from the dry eye shop. I suffer from mybobian gland disorder and lagophthalmos primarily in my right eye (sleep with one eye open haha). Well, this resulted in severe eye pain in the mornings. I tried several eye covers but this one works the best for me. My skin does not react to the silicone and the seal is tight enough to provide moisture to my eyes at night while I sleep. I can now sleep with a ceiling fan and not worry about my eyes drying out overnight. I am really grateful for the detailed info on all the eye shields on this website. It enabled me to pick the right one for me (black Onylx). The Onylx covers my eyes perfectly and comfortably while blocking out light as well. I am 5'7" female about 150 pounds. Hat size is 67/8 if that helps with sizing at all. The only negative thing is the band seems to get loose sooner than earlier versions of this product. I will continue to buy and use some of the suggestions on this website to mitigate the loose band issue.

for a small face

This product is much better for me since I have a small face. The EyeSeals 4.0 are too big. I have been using the eyeSeals for a few years and finally decided to try the Onyix and am very happy

Works for me, but...

I have to have these, so am forced to pay at least once a year for them. I bought my previous shield in October 2023. They work great, however, it has gotten where the elastic wear out so much quicker that previously. When I adjust them on my head, the elastic gets weaker and weaker, to the point that, if I wake up at night I have to retighten due to the worn out elastic slippage. This leads to leakage around the shield, which leads to more dry eye issues. For the price I pay, I expect these to last at LEAST a year - this last one only lasted 9 months.

Really sorry that replacement straps are no longer made!
It's important for it not to be on your head at the time you adjust it
A lot of people do 'hacks" ie fold the strap over a bit and run a few stitches through it, or tie a knot at the side. I've even known some wearing a headband over it to keep it in place.
