Nighttime Eye Protection for Healthy, Hydrated Eyes

Nighttime Eye Protection – The Overnight Layer of the Protocol

For the Patients Whose Symptoms Are Worst on Waking

The patient who reports gritty, stuck-shut eyes first thing in the morning is describing an overnight problem, and daytime drops will not answer it. This collection covers the gels and ointments, protective masks, moisture goggles and lid tapes dispensed for overnight dryness, incomplete lid closure and post-surgical protection, so you can send the patient home with the layer that matches the complaint.

Why the Overnight Layer Matters

Tear film volume drops during sleep, and nocturnal lagophthalmos is under-diagnosed and easy to miss without asking. An overnight product can:
✔ Provide a protectant against further irritation through the night
✔ Support lid closure in patients with incomplete closure
✔ Shield the ocular surface from air conditioning, fans and CPAP airflow
✔ Give post-surgical patients an overnight barrier
✔ Answer the morning-symptom complaint that drops alone do not

What the Collection Covers

Four distinct mechanisms, dispensed for different presentations:

• Hydrating Gels & Ointments – Thicker viscosity for the temporary relief of burning, irritation and discomfort due to dryness of the eye.
• Protective Sleep Masks – Blocks light, allergens and drafts while retaining warmth.
• Eyelid Tapes & Shields – For patients with incomplete lid closure.
• Gel-Based Moisture Goggles – Creates a humid microenvironment at the ocular surface.

Who You Are Dispensing To

• Patients with chronic dryness or nocturnal lagophthalmos
• Post-surgical patients needing an overnight barrier
• CPAP users and patients sleeping under a fan or in dry air
• Patients whose symptoms peak on waking
• Patients already on a daytime regimen who need the night covered
