    Description (by Rebecca)

    My favorite tape - hands down. Absolutely worth the extra cost. When I need to tape a lid down, I apply one strip of the wider type vertically, pressing down the top downwards and removing it top down as well. Obviously not suitable for those with silicone allergy, but for the rest of us, it's about as eyelid/eyelash friendly as a tape can get.

     

    Please note that there are a variety of tape application approaches. Vertical does not work for everyone! Believe it or not there are even youtube videos on the subject. Experiment till you find the method that seals your lids the most effectively.

     

    Description (from the manufacturer's literature)

    I do really like this tape. It’s gentle on the skin but my eye is still watering at night which then loosens the tape further. I tape it correctly as in stated in how to apply. Paper tape has fine the same thing but i definitely like the feel of this tape better. I’m going to keep trying. Great product though my just be my eye lol

    Works

    One of my eyes doesn’t close all the way when I sleep. This tape works very well. I cut off a piece to fit eyelid area down over lashes in a vertical leaving the inner area uncovered as directed by my doctor.

    Silicone tape

    My right eye is getting much needed relief at night with this tape. I’m grateful to my optometrist for recommending the Dry Eye Shop. The tape is easy to apply and remove. I use a night time eye ointment and I am able to reuse the tape once or twice. I feel

    it will be an eyesight saving product for me. Thank you!

    The Best Tape Ever!

    I have severe dry eyes and one eye does not close completely at night and I have tried several different things to treat it, and this tape is the only thing that has helped. I have sensitive skin and this tape does not irritate it and with my eyelid taped closed when I sleep, my cornea is doing much better as well.
