..

Moisture chamber glasses, including sport goggles used as moisture chamber goggles, create a moist chamber around each of your eyes. This reduces dry eye pain but can interfere with vision if the lenses fog up. In addition, wearing moisture chamber goggles can put you at risk for an eye infection and can intensify an allergic response unless you keep the glasses or goggles sterile. (If you have eye allergies, see also the Allergic Eye Tips page.)

More typically they are used monocularly, on a temporary basis, to either protect an eye or to provide a micro-environment for medical treatment. We used to fabricate (mold) them from latex and attach them to the ocular surface of a lens with a suction cup. They are not used as frequntly these days as in many cases a soft contact lens will provide a desired effect.

Like ptosis crutches, physicians hesitate to use them today as few opticians can provide them.

using the Wiley-X Climate Control Series. They need to pick the one that seals the best for them and they don't cost an arm or a leg. The foam inserts are replaceable by themselves as well.

Good luck to you!

Couple drops of Castor oil will do a lot more for the condition.

I second the Wiley's...It only costs an arm OR leg, not both! :cheers:

I have done one that you could attach to a pt's glasses and cut to size. Not sure who makes it or how to get them.
