I'm into my third week of using TranquilEyes every night.
I've found that it's impossible to keep the little foam pads that go in the center of the goggles warm between squeezing the water out of them and inserting them, so they're not a suitable substitute for a warm compress (I imagine that's why they have ThermoEyes available then).
This week I discontinued the use of the center foam pads because I they kept bending my eyelashes over to a side every night. The base of my eyelashes also seemed to pop up tiny little bumps. I tried them both wet and dry. All in all I decided that for now they were hurting, not helping. So now I'm using them as a moisture chamber and will see how that turns out.
I'm still struggling to figure out a good fit. I wear them upside down because they fit better and the foam stays on better that way. The strap seems to either be too lose (or loosens up during the night) or too tight and pulls the foam off of the goggles.
I'm still pretty frustrated overall. It sounded like these goggles helped so many people so well and I seem to be getting a neutral to negative affect from them. I guess I'll keep trying for a bit longer.
EDIT: I also emailed EyeEco directly and got a response from the CEO (talk about good customer service!). She suggested cutting the moisture pads in half lengthwise to make them thinner, loosen the strap so that the goggles are just tight enough to block out light and not wring them out so much when soaking in the warm water. I plan to try these suggestions before giving up on them completely.
