What it
is
Here's what the kit consists of:
- One Tranquileyes eyecup
- Eye cushion and moisture pad (unlined type)
- Two Thermoeyes heat inserts
- Simple elastic band to hold eyecup on
- Mesh washbag for the moisture pad
How it's used
First, if you're new to Tranquileyes and
Thermoeyes, please read up about both on this site so you can get
some context for this product. To get there quickly, use the
"Related products" links below to get to Tranquileyes and
Thermoeyes kit descriptions.
This was designed with styes in mind BUT I think
there will be a variety of applications for them. Here are a few
suggestions just off the top of my head:
- Stye treatment (that's what the directions in the kit are for):
Use the heat insert on top of the moisture pad. Since it has the
regular (thick) moisture pad instead of a thermopad, this will put
more pressure on the lid and hold the heat right where you want
it.
- Meibomian gland dysfunction, one eye at a time: We all have our
own favorite form of warm compress already I'm sure. Some of you
are using Thermoeyes as your main heat source. What this kit will
allow you to do is multitask... do heat on one eye while you're
using the other.
- Daytime rejuvenation, one eye at a time. Do your eyes get more
and more painful as the day progresses? For a lot of people, giving
your eyes a 20-30 minute break at some point during the day can
make a huge difference and many use the tranquileyes goggle for
that purpose. But not everybody can afford that much "downtime". If
you're in an environment where you don't mind being seen with this,
it would allow you to give one eye a moisturizing break while you
continue working or doing other things. Then just switch
eyes....
- Night protection for a single eye. Now mind, I have not tried
this myself so I cannot attest to how well it will stay on if
you're tossing and turning. Usually if people only need to treat a
single eye, I suggest that they get the full goggle and (if they
want) remove the moisture pad from one side. But this is another
alternative, and may be attractive especially for those who do not
want to wake up "blind" in the middle of the
night.
Please let me know your feedback and if you come
up with other uses for this please let me know so I can share it
with others here!
