    Description (by Rebecca)

    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

    Description (from the manufacturer's literature)

    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.

    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.

    Definitely worth trying!

    My first thought when opening the package was that these would never work. But I am pretty desperate for solutions so I decided to give them a try. They have taken some getting used to and I’ve found a little spritz of water helps them stay in place, but I like them a lot. I’m a side sleeper and it’s impossible to find a perfect solution but I would recommend giving these a try.

    Best sleep goggles!

    I've had these before. They break (nosepiece part) after extended use and I tried another goggle that I found online. I went back to onyix because the onyix fits the best and keeps my eyes more comfortable. I put in my drops and ointment and then wear these goggles and my eyes stay hydrated throughout the night. Thank you for your informative website. This site is such a great service for those of us with dry eyes!
