CRAZY Dry Eye Hack!? Trying Glad Press N Seal for Dry Eyes

Note: Glad Press N Seal is not something I recommend to my dry eye patients but is something I have read about and it has been used in at least one study. Please consult your local eye care professional before trying any "dry eye hacks" you see on the internet.

Ever heard of people using gladwrap or glad press n seal for their dry eyes? This is a small trend that has become a bit of a dry eye hack for people who wake up with dry eyes in the morning. While there are many dry eye hacks out there, the downside to glad press and seal is that it is not developed to be put on your face, so it may cause some irritation. That is why eye doctors are now recommended a product called Sleep Tite Sleep Rite instead.

Some people do sleep with their eyes wide open but many more people may be sleeping with their eyes only slightly cracked open.
This leaves your eyes exposed to the open air and your tear film is more likely to evaporate and dry out.

My dry eye doctor is OK with me using press n seal. I only press the stick Press N Seal to the bones around my eyes and do not stuck it to my eyelids. When I lift the Press N Seal up in the morning it is wet in the areas where my eyes were so it seals in the moisture.

Using Press N Seal was a game changer for me in my dry eye relief since I have evaporative dry eyes. It was the final puzzle piece I needed fir dry eye relief. I must normally sleep with my eyelids slightly open. I do have to clean my eyes well in the morning to get the sticky residue off.

Therefore, I know this new product will work great. However, I will be shocked if it is not super expensive. Anytime a product has to do with the eyes they jack up the price a phenomenal amount because they know people are desperate for relief.

However, I appreciate this video and all your videos. They are excellent! I also appreciate knowing when new products like these come out. I will look in to this product.

Thx again!

I appreciate Dr. Ken Berry s medical videos for dry eyes 👀

I wake up five times every night with sandpaper eyes from dryness. I Simply use hypo tears and go back to sleep.

[lialim]

you don't use one whole sheet, I tear it down to squares and they don't leave residues on your skin. For less than $5 a roll, it is a yes. The medical eye tape thingie, nope, too much money! I recommend press n seal.

[nemoevr]

and the cost of one over the other. . . . $40 for the one, maybe a one month supply as opposed to maybe $5 for the film that will last me a couple of years, when the cost of medical things stop sending ordinary people in to poverty we might consider stop using hacks.

Thank you, I was looking for this information!

I tried the Press & Seal technique and it worked! My eyes actually felt normal in the morning though that delicious feeling, sadly, does not last all day. I still need to use drops and warm compresses but it helps a lot. I cut the plastic in half so that it doesn't cover the nose but just each eye. Interestingly, when I woke up this morning, only one eye was still covered. Now I am having a chance to compare the two eyes and the eye that was covered feels much better. I will the medical tape and see if it's worth it. Press and Seal is a great deal but I'm not sure how good that is to use long term. Plus, it feels a bit crinkly.

I had upper and lower eyelid surgery and have suffered with dry eye since then (six months). So I am continually seeking out remedies. Next I will be ordering the manuka honey eye drops.

I wonder if Saran Wrap covering eyes and secured with a band around the head might have similar affect minus irritation when removing since it's not actually sticking? 🤔

Dry eyes stop tearing when you use eye drops that will lubricate for people with dry eyes. Some are made with a solution that will make eyes drier, red, and stings like alcohol. Ask the manufacturer which ones are for you. They make more than the ones on the shelves at your local store.

[jterry]

Thanks for this info. Will definitely try this.

[ahmedysf]

Im not suffering. Im dying with my eyes. Sometimes when I suddenly get up in the night my eyes are red, with a lot of pain. I have tried so many eye salve and drugs but still suffering with it anywhere where I can get that im from Belgium

[Juls]

What about the people with dry eye that is back and forth the bathroom all night, you would be having to take it off and on all night ?

[catherinepolea]

I use that cover the wound operation if i taking shower my grandma.

[jonzzleeker]

Hello Doctor please what's the solution for holos around lights?

[rebeccagralish]

Try green tea and Manuka honey and castor oil in your eyes. Purchase an eye dropper. This will help I use half a cup of green tea and a heaping tea spoon Manuka honey and half teaspoon castor oil. It works

[shelleysmith]

Plastic and the sticky stuff sounds absolutely toxic

[memoonasaeed]

if someone has acne she might have meibominitis too which cause irritated eyes, if planning to get isotretinoin for acne will it cause more dryness despite unclogging the meibomian gland

[MộtMình_VẫnVui]

It’s quite dangerous when you’re sleeping and you move around subconsciously and it might move to cover the nose .
