Compare night products
This is a list of some of our most popular night products or product groups for people suffering from dry eye at night, including conditions such as classic nocturnal lagophthalmos, Bell's palsy, and poor eyelid closure due to surgery on the lids or orbits.
Also see companion articles Night Product Selection Tips and Bubble Eye Bandages. You can also find all of our Night Product videos here or on our YouTube channel.
PRACTICAL TIP: Buy more than one thing at a time, so that you can compare more easily, rather than purchasing one then exchanging for another. It really helps to have them both available at the same time. We have a 30 day easy-return policy (we will email you a prepaid return label on request) and we encourage experimentation. Please also make the most use of us! Call for advise and ideas, or email us!
