Night Eye Protection and Ointments - Relief from Dry Eyes While You Sleep

Apply a Night Ointment
A thicker protective layer like a dry eye ointment helps retain moisture during sleep. A regular routine can improve nighttime dryness, especially if your eyelids don't fully close, a condition called lagophthalmos.

• Why are my eyes dry in the morning?
  • During sleep, blinking is reduced and partial eyelid opening can promote evaporation, contributing to morning dryness and irritation.¹

How to help prevent nighttime dryness

• Apply a warm compress
• Clean your eyelids
• Use preservative-free artificial tears
• Apply a night ointment
• Avoid direct air from fans or vents
