Moisture Goggles

[RobertT]

Has anyone ever used moisture goggles to help dry eyes? I was looking at http://www.eyeeco.com/ and the googles on this site seem like they might help. I'd like to hear from someone else that has used them before buying a pair. Can these kind of things be purchased in any stores?

Robert, do a search through this site. There is extensive info on goggles, including Tranquileyes.

Sounds interesting. If you try them let us know about your first hand experience.

Moisture goggles

Hi Robert,
I haven't tried them, but recently saw a pair from Adidas that didn't look too dorky, I have been considering getting some, let me know what you come up with, I would be interested to see if you found them to help.

Hi guys again,

Just had a look at these, they sound like they may work??? With postage for me in Australia it is going to cost around $160.00 AUS Dollars, before I take the plunge, I am like Robert, does anyone use them??? Don't want to waste the cash if like a lot of things they don't work.

Thanks
Jo

I have not used them, but know someone who has tried them. They did not care for them and do not use them.

Tranquileyes

I bought them. They are nothing but a very comfy lightweight goggle with some sort of sponge material that you get wet and put in the eye part. I think you can make something of that sort on your own. Buy a lightweight swimming goggle and wet some cotton pads or cut up a sponge.
Be aware that bacteria can grow on the wet pads, so make sure whatever you use gets dried out between uses, washed, or replaced frequently.

I had an opportunity to experiment with them. A rep from Tranquileyes was at a tradeshow in Atlanta that Rebecca and I attended last Feb. and was nice enough to give me a pair to try out. I really like them in theory but I must have a big head, a lot of hair, or something. The tie-things on them weren't long enough for me so they were too tight and put too much pressure on my eyes.

Good report on them

I've used them for over a year maybe longer. I love them and cannot sleep without them. Even if you leave the center sponge out for some reason, they protect the eyes from airconditioner vents, ceiling fans, etc. I have a fairly small head and really short hair so the eye area is too big for me. But I think enough of them to take out the nose piece and tie them together at the nose area with a short piece of soft fabric ribbon.

And the company is really trying hard to help Sjogrens patients. It seems to be a "caring" company. I don't get any kickbacks or anything, just love the product.
