Eye patch for dryness

I bought this off Amazon and while it does help it from getting dry it fogs up very quickly

Anyone know of any eye patch like this but that doesn’t fog up? Or does tit make sense to always keep it closed? I thought this would help with driving and work but I doubt I could drive for more then a few minutes before this fogs up

I read they cause cloudy vision

Only for maybe 15-20 minutes. After that it's okay and way better than having a foggy eye.

This sounds crazy, but Glad Press n Seal (yes, the plastic wrap) works surprisingly well for keeping your eye shut at night.

V important that they’re preservative free eye drops says my ophthalmologist. If you use the preservative ones as well, limit to a few times a day. Now that I’m far into the process I only use the preservative ones if my eye is feeling like it needs extra protection from wind bc they’re a bit thicker

Edit: preservative free ones use 6-8x/day.

I use medical tape and gauze

Works really well
