EyeEco, making eye care since 2003

EyeEco, formally Eye Eco Holdings, LLC, has been making eye care products from California since 2003. The range splits into two ideas: moisture chamber eyewear that holds humid air around the eyes, and moist heat masks that you warm before use. A small group of tea tree cleansers and skin products rounds it out.

Moisture chambers and sleep masks

Tranquileyes goggles, Eyeseals 4.0, Quartz and Onyix are all worn to keep a pocket of humidity around the eyes, most often overnight. Eyeseals 4.0 is the one CPAP users tend to look at, since air leaking from a CPAP mask is a common reason people wake up dry. Quartz is clear and Onyix is black. The Moisture Release Eyewear is the daytime version, in a wraparound frame with a gray lens.

Moist heat

D.E.R.M., EyeCloud and Tranquileyes XL work with warmed inserts held against cotton liners. The XL kit ships with beads and Instants for warm or cold use, and the EyeCloud Home Treatment Kit is built around a gel pack rated for hundreds of uses. Replacement cotton liners, four packs of Instants and thermoeyes gel pack kits are sold separately, which is what most people come back for.

Cleansers and skin

The tea tree eyelid and facial cleansers come in 1 percent and 2 percent strengths, in single bottles and two packs, plus an age defying version. Essential Nine is a 1 oz eyelid and skin serum.

How to choose

Pick a moisture chamber if waking up is your worst moment, and a moist heat mask if your eye doctor has asked you to do warm compresses. They do different jobs and plenty of people own one of each. On the cleansers, 1 percent is the gentler starting point and 2 percent is the stronger option.
