dry eyeglasses or moisture glasses may be one of the more underutilized dry eye tools dry eye
treatments out there and so in this video I wanted to go over some of the main benefits you get with
moisture glasses as well as some of the options that are available to you out there let's focus
in hey howdy everybody, this is Dr. Neal Guymon, Dr. EyeGuy, now one of the main things that people
with dry eyes deal with is when their tears evaporate too fast leaving their eyes exposed
and then they dry out and that's where moisture glasses come in handy now the idea behind moisture
glasses or dry glasses is to seal off the eye from the elements seal off the eye from the outside
air now it does this by having a wrapped frame so it wraps to the side of your eyes and also
most of them will have some type of seal wrapping around the frame as you can see these frames have
a silicone seal that can actually touches my cheek and actually goes all the way around so it really
locks in my eyes locks in the moisture and keeps the outside air from stealing the moisture from my
tears now if you're dealing with low humidity or a dry climate or you're sitting next to a vent with
the air conditioning or the heater or if you go outside and the wind tends to dry your eyes out or
if your eyes just tend to dry out because you're staring and not blinking or staring working on the
computer staring at screens this is where dry eye glasses shine and one of the main reasons that I
wanted to make this video is because there really are a lot of generic or cheaper options out there
if you wanted to test out the concept to see if it actually might be something that works for you
and this video is not sponsored by any of these products I'll just put links in the description
if you want to check all of these out this one is called onion glasses they're actually kind
of designed for people that cut a lot of onions and they don't want to cry from the onions so
it kind of protects the eyes it has a little pad that goes around the frame to add a little
bit of extra protection and seal off the eyes a little bit again a cheaper option just to test
out the concept but it is something that does rap really well and does provide a little bit
extra protection with those pads on there and apparently works well when you're cutting onions
another brand that you should check out and you can get this on Amazon just like the onion glasses
and this one's from global vision eyewear this has pretty much the same type of design as the
onion glasses it has the extra pad going around the frame to really seal in the eyes and these
aren't perfect by any means it doesn't completely seal but they are available and cheaper than some
of the other glasses and so it's a really good way to test out the concept the reason why I recommend
checking out global vision is because they have a lot of options that could be helpful depending on
your situation this one I have right here actually have photochromic lenses meaning they'll be clear
on the inside and when you go outside in the sun they'll darken up so then it's easier to
wear outside it kind of acts as a little bit type of sunglasses so then you could potentially wear
them all day inside and outside they even have some that have bifocals in there if you need a
bifocal for extra help when reading and they have photochromics with bifocals just in case
if you need it now a couple drawbacks with these is you can't put your glasses prescription inside
the lenses and also you might have to deal with fogging a little bit like this left lens tends to
fog up just a little bit so that's one thing that you might have to deal with but at least you can
try and test out the concept to see if moisture glasses might help now I'm curious to hear who all
has tried moisture glasses did they help you did they not work at all definitely leave it in the
comments below I'm curious to hear your answers another brand that you should look into are the
moisture glasses from eye Eco they actually have a patent designed for their moisture release glasses
with this design it actually has small little cartridges that you can soak in the water for 30
seconds and then actually put in the frames and it will slowly release some extra moisture into
the area around the eyes for four to six hours so it kind of has an added benefit there now if you
test out the concept and you know that moisture glasses will work or if you just want to get
serious about it then this would be the brand that you want to look into these are moisture glasses
from a company called ziena and probably make one of the better looking moisture glasses one
of the more serious moisture glasses out there now you've probably noticed that a lot of the
dry glasses look big and bulky and kind of weird well Sienna tried to make some frames that looked
a little bit more normal but are still moisture glasses they actually come with a really great
silicone seal a magnetic style that snaps right onto the frames and they are probably one of the
better type of seal glasses moisture glasses that you can get that silicone does actually hug the
eyes or hug the skin around the eyes really well and again with different sizes depending on what
will fit you the best and you can actually get your prescription made into these glasses whether
it's bifocal or single Vision normal glasses the silicone design is really great there's
this magnetic snap-ons really easy to remove and clean and then put back on and they cover really
well if you're seeing this video early enough Sienna did give me a temporary discount code that
I could pass on to my viewers so definitely check out the description below if that's still active
if you want to look into getting a more serious really well made type of dry eye glasses and for
a more in-depth review of moisture chambered glasses from Sienna what options are available
