I've worn my Silhouette sleep mask many nights now and am very, very happy with it. It looks very simple but it's very well designed. The nose bridge/cushion part at the bottom edge is designed in such a way that if I hike it up ever so slightly it actually holds my lids closed perfectly. I've been hesitant to pursue other sleep masks because they usually have a plush or fleece underside which I think should probably be avoided by people with dry eye, but I'm going to try out some more styles by the Silhouette manufacturer just in case. (p.s. if you look at the Silhouette in the Shop be forewarned I've already sold out of my initial stock but I'll have it back in tomorrow or Weds. at the outside - the company is located very near me.)
Haven't done much with the Escape because I really need the types that help my lids stay closed (Escape is the one with the eye cutouts on the underside, good for those who don't want anything touching their lids) so I'm looking forward to hearing what others think of that one.
I will always be a loyal Tranquileyes fan as I consider that the gold standard for its category, but I've been impressed with how much help I got from the Silhouette and I am grateful to those of you who mentioned your preference for sleep masks or I never would have thought to try it myself.
I get a lot of calls from people looking for night dry eye help for elderly parents. In many cases I've found that the hassle factor is a deal-killer for the very elderly (e.g. wetting pads, assembling goggle). So I think that well designed sleep masks may be a particularly good option for them.
