About 5 years ago I had eyelid surgery that left my blinking muscles damaged. As a result both of my eyelids would open up when I was in a deep sleep. This meant that every single day my eyes were swollen and very painful. I looked like a monster.
The doctors told me to tape my eyelids shut when I slept, but I dare anyone to try that and call it a solution. Nothing like ripping tape off of your eyelids every morning. And they would still swell from the pressure of the tape.
I used another company's magnetic eye mask and it helped a little, but it was hit or miss every night because were only a few magnets so they weren't always in the right place. It felt heavy and was just too uncomfortable over my eyes and would irritate them.
Then I discovered the Therion eye and sinus mask. What a difference! The curved shape of your mask makes the magnet weight PERFECT for keeping my lids shut, but not too much weight to irritate them. The magnets are a lot stronger and they cover the whole mask so it's always in the right place. The swelling came down quickly and my eye lids are staying closed now.
I know there are many people out there who probably suffer from this terrible condition and have no idea there is a solution. This mask has changed my life!
