Cheap alternative for night dryness instead of moisture chambers/eye taping

I find it way less bothering than other night time solutions, especially for side sleepers.

It is Glad Press and Seal - basically a thin food wrap that easily sticks to skin (totally without glue) in non-painful way. One roll is over 6 meters so it will last long.

  1. so I cut it into small squares to cover each eye area

  2. then I close my eyes and put them on top

  3. last step - sleeping mask (a normal fabric mask)

Hygienic, easy, accessible. I got used to it very quickly and I dont notice it anymore.

I stumbled upon this hack on chronicdryeye dot net, there is even a video from Amanda Gaskell explaining the whole thing (she learned this advice from her doctor)
