WHAT THE MANUFACTURER SAYS [Basic Tranquileyes
description]
Tranquileyes
eye hydrating therapy is a natural, proven way to bring relief to
dry, irritated eyes. Unlike other dry eye treatments, tranquileyes
is a soft, flexible goggle designed to form a moist, humid
environment around the eye that helps stimulate tear production and
prevent the evaporation of tears, while also moisturizing the
delicate skin around the eyes.
Eye Cover
tranquileyes
have beautifully-sculpted, anatomically designed eye covers that
are made from medical grade, flexible rubber material that is FDA
approved. The eye covers seal only the area required to hydrate the
eyes delivering complete darkness and exceptional comfort. The eye
covers rest on your orbital bones, thereby avoiding any restriction
of blood flow to vital arteries above the nose and unnecessary
pressure on the sensitive blood vessels under the
eye.
Eye Cushions
Each eye cover
features a comfortable eye cushion that is fabric lined and made
from visco-elastic foam. The foam is specially designed to form to
the face when warmed by body heat and provides increased comfort
while creating a complete seal to the orbital area. This seal helps
to control the temperature and humidity around the eye
area.
Moisture Pads
Placed in each
eye cover is a small pillow of the same fabric-lined, visco-elastic
foam, called a moisture pad. The moisture pads are designed to be
removed from the eye cover and placed in warm or cold water. Warm
water moisturizes eyes and surrounding eye area, cold water reduces
puffiness. After the moisture pads have soaked in water for 30
seconds, they are gently rung out, and then placed back in the eye
covers prior to wear.
Head Wrap
A uniquely
designed comfort wrap holds the eye covers in place and the stretch
fabric ensures no pinching, even with extended wear. The comfort
wrap is easily adjusted with two specially designed sliders, to
ensure a custom fit and complete seal of the tranquileyes to the
eye area
The Results
By comfortably
sealing the area around the eye, and introducing heat and moisture,
tranquileyes effectively increases humidity, creating a moisture
chamber around the eye, which prevents the evaporation of tears,
and keeps the entire eye area moist.
The therapeutic benefit of tranquileyes is cumulative and can
extend well beyond the period of use. In as little as 20 minutes of
wearing tranquileyes, you can relieve the symptoms of dry eye with
a natural, drug-free hydration method. The benefits can be further
enhanced using thermoeyes. For the best results, use tranquileyes
daily for at least two weeks.
WHAT REBECCA SAYS ABOUT TRANQUILEYES XR
If you're new
to Tranquileyes, go to the Tranquileyes Starter Kit and read the
full description and review there to get an understanding of how
this works and what it's meant for. Here, I'm only going to discuss
what's unique to Tranquileyes XR.
The XR is 30%
larger than the standard Tranquileyes. That translates into...
BIG!
From the
feedback I have had thus far from users, here's my assessment of
who it may be best for:
1) For people
with unusually large heads or orbits or eyes set too far apart for
regular Tranquileyes, the XR would be a must.
2) For people
who find that regular Tranquileyes presses uncomfortably on their
eyelids (during overnight use) the XR should be a really good
alternative because the moisture pads are so much wider.
3) People who
want it for cold or hot moist therapy. Really, really nice for
that.
Who am
I? My name is Rebecca Petris and I have had chronic
dry eye since undergoing LASIK in July 2001. I founded
The Dry Eye
Company as a result of my experiences, hoping to make useful
information and effective products more accessible to others with
dry eye.
PLEASE DON'T FORGET...
It goes
without saying but I'll say it anyway. As with all eyecare
products, make sure you discuss this with your doctor. This is
particularly important if you have any other ongoing eye conditions
(such as infections or ingrown eyelashes) for which having
something resting on your lids at night may not be suitable.
