- Non-closing eyelid(s)
- Dry eye disease
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.
