Abstract: A mask for the relief of dry eye in a dry eye subject, including a unitary shell shaped to cover at least one eye and a portion of a face. The shell includes a first layer and a second layer the first layer that is substantially moisture impermeable and the second layer that is moisture absorbent. The first layer and the second layer meeting at a layer interface. The first layer and the second layer are substantially coextensive over substantially the entire layer interface and are secured together over substantially the entire layer interface.

Abstract: A mask to ameliorate the effects of dry eye syndrome in a dry eye subject including a thin, flexible, substantially water vapor impermeable membrane having two opposed eye covering portions separated by a central portion. The central portion is gathered to create a shape that accommodates nose structure of the dry eye subject and curves the opposed eye covering portions to conform the opposed eye covering portions generally to the curvature of the dry eye subject's face in an area surrounding the dry eye subject's eyes. The mask further includes an absorbent structure securable between the impermeable membrane and the eyes of the dry eye subject that is capable of absorbing and evaporatively releasing a substance to improve the comfort and health of the eyes and/or adnexa of the dry eye syndrome subject.

Abstract: A mask to improve the comfort and eye health of individuals suffering from dry eye syndrome including a substantially vapor impermeable shell with a unitary structure having a substantially planar portion and two eye recesses. Each eye recess forms a generally concave dome shaped region on one side of the substantially planar portion. The shell is adapted to be worn on the face of the dry eye subject. An absorbent material can be positioned in at least one of the eye recesses; so that the absorbent material extends less than the maximum depth of the eye recesses to present the absorbent material to the face in the vicinity of the eyes of the dry eye subject without extending beyond the edge of the substantially planar portion. The invention may also include securing member to secure the shell to the subjects head.

Abstract: A treatment for dry eye syndrome. An at least partially sealed chamber including a reservoir for moisture for surrounding the eyes is disclosed. The invention may be transparent for use during the day or in association with prescription or non-prescription lenses. The moisture chamber may also be opaque to act as a blackout mask for sleeping.
