Eyelids stuck to eyeball at night
Eye Conditions | Last Active: Jul 15 6:39am | Replies (34)Comment receiving replies
Hello,
I also have cornea erosion due to not being able to close my eye at night. My ophthalmologist advised me to use a PM preservative free ointment to protect the eye at night. During the day I wear a contact which is considered abandoned contact lens. I am still having trouble so now considering getting a scleral contact.
Can you tell more about the device called Tranquileyes? Where did you purchase it and how does it work? Thank you very much and best wishes to you in your healing!

I am so sorry to hear of your eye issue. I completely understand. Unfortunately, I have a tried all different preservative free eye lubricants and all of them caused a great deal of irritation some caused pain.
My ophthalmologist recommended an eye mask called Tranquileyes Mini from Amazon. The company name is Eye Eco. It is hard to describe how it works, so below is the link for you to review. The mask has foam inserts that you soak in water before putting on at night so they keep your eyes moist and there is a material band that holds it on your face. I have been using it for about 3 weeks and it is working so far. I did have an issue because I was cleaning it with antibacterial soap (which directions said to do) but that irritated my eyes. I contacted their customer service department, who were more than helpful, and now I am using baby shampoo to clean. So far, so good. I truly hope you find something that works for you.
