Product Details
How does Blinkjoy help with dry eye symptoms?
Each silicone eye cover has curved openings that envelop the eyes to ensure a complete moisture seal around the eyes. This creates a humid microenvironment preventing excessive evaporation of tears which minimizes symptoms of dry eye, ultimately improving ocular health. Additionally, by creating a complete seal around the eyes, the silicone eye covers create a barrier against drafts, wind, dust, and dry air which greatly reduces inflammation and dry eye symptom flare ups.

Care Instructions
How do I maximize efficacy of my mask?
We recommend following these steps each time you wear your Blinkjoy mask:
1.) Clean your eyes: Gently clean face and eyelids to remove dirt.
2.) Clean the silicone eye cups: Wash silicone moisture chambers with soap and water.
3.) Hydrate your eyes: Apply preservative free eye drops or nighttime ointment.
4.) Adjust chambers and mask: Adjust silicone cups to fully seal in moisture. Adjust the length of mask elastic strap to ensure comfortable fit.
Should I wash the silicone eye cups prior to use?
Our silicone eye cups are made from 100% medical grade silicone which prevents bacterial buildup. However we do recommend cleaning each silicone eye chamber with soap and water prior to each use to remove dirt or debris.
How should I care for my mask?
We recommend hand washing your mask before first use and periodically over time. You can also wash the mask in a washing machine in the fabric bag it came with. Just take out the silicone pieces and you should be good to go. We recommend washing on gentle with cold water and a mild or hypoallergenic detergent. Then air dry for about 24 hours (do not put in the dryer).
Common Questions
What should I expect for my first night?
Thousands of customers have experienced exceptional dry eye relief from the Blinkjoy Moisture Retaining Sleep Mask, although sleeping with your mask may take some time to get used to.
We recommend wearing it at night for at least two weeks to comfortably fall asleep, and stay asleep, with your mask on. Make sure to fit the mask snugly around your head (not too loose, not too tight) and adjust the eyecups to rest comfortably over each eye. Apply drops or dry eye ointment to maximize nighttime hydration and set yourself up for restorative sleep.
If you experience severe dry eye, Blinkjoy can help. Even if your mask takes some getting used to, stick with it…your eyes will be happy you did.
What if my eyes still feel dry?
We always recommend applying dry eye gel drops or nighttime ointment before wearing your Blinkjoy mask at night. Our goal is to create a humid microenvironment for the eyes and prevent excessive evaporation of tears to minimize symptoms of dry eye. However, tear deficiency is common for those with dry eye, which means you may not have enough tears to begin with. Applying drops or ointment prior to wearing your mask will help alleviate this problem and maximize the benefits of sleeping with your Blinkjoy mask.
Will I experience red marks or puffy eyes?
In rare cases for those with extremely sensitive skin, wearing a moisture mask may cause irritation or red marks after initial use. Many customers have resolved this by a) loosening the mask to ensure it is not too tight, and b) applying a gentle eye moisturizing cream or balm prior to use to protect the sensitive skin area around the eyes.
Will I find sleeping with a mask uncomfortable?
If this is your first time sleeping with an eye mask at night, it may take some getting used to. If this applies to you, we have heard success from many customers that slowly increasing wear time was beneficial. Start with an hour your first night, then two, and so on. After one to two weeks, you should have no problem sleeping through the night with your Blinkjoy mask. Even if your mask takes some getting used to, stick with it…your eyes will be happy you did.
What if I am a side sleeper?
Your Blinkjoy mask will work best if you sleep on your back or partially on your side. Changing your preferred sleeping position may seem like a daunting task, but we've heard success from others that make small gradual changes and use lots of strategically placed pillows.
Should I wash the eyecups prior to use?
Our silicone eye cups are made from 100% medical grade silicone which prevents bacterial buildup. However we do recommend cleaning each silicone eye chamber with soap and water prior to each use to remove dirt or debris.
Customer Reviews
I've been using this mask for over a year and am very happy with it. The only problem is that the strap is ripping, so I need to purchase a new one. It seems like really good quality, so I was a bit surprised when it became stretched out, with a tear on the side. I wear it nightly so maybe that's to be expected. I'll be ordering a new one.
I like the moisture retaining aspect, but I find I can’t use the mask because the latex rubs on my face causing irritation. I don’t think I have a latex allergy, but it’s just the rubbing on my skin that bothers me. I wake up with soreness and red marks on my face that persist well into the day. This photo was taken five hours after I removed the mask.
I loved this mask and it was a lifesaver for my dry eyes that I struggled through each day with prior. I slept great in it - I am a side sleeper. Sadly after 3 months of using it I unexpectedly reacted to the silicone. I washed it every morning because I am a clean freak. My eyes blew up with major sagging bags that aged me 10 years. I used Benadryl cream during the day and a pill at night. It took 2 weeks for me to look normal again. No fault of Blinkjoy just my darn skin sensitivity. The mask was comfortable and really kept the moisture in. I am bummed beyond words! Perhaps a new mask design for us with sensitivities?
I’ve been struggling with dry eyes for a while, and these have been a game changer! They create a perfect seal around my eyes, keeping them hydrated throughout the night. Not only do they help with my dry eyes, but they are also incredibly comfortable to wear. I especially appreciate how adjustable they are—the eye pads can be easily moved around to get just the right fit.
My only suggestion for improvement would be the strap. It works well, but I’ve noticed it damaging my hair. A satin-lined strap would be a nice touch. I’ve taken to just wrapping some satin around the strap myself.
Overall, though, I’m really happy with these goggles, and they’ve made a big difference for my dry eyes!
This eye mask has completely changed my dry eye situation! In addition, I’m sleeping better because it keeps all light out.
