I also would like to know how much the goggles are in U.S. dollars. Having left facial paralysis my left eye doesn't close on its own. Nov 2008 I had a gold weight put in my eyelid so the eye would at least seal when I closed it. So of course I suffer cronic dry eye. Applying drops and gels daily can be a nusiance. How nice it would be to have a pair of these.

Hi there Golden:  For my paralyzed eye, I have been using a product called the NITEYE dry eye comforter, 14 nonsterile pads.  It's a bit pricey - I buy it by the case now, saves $:  you can buy it by the box - 14 for approx $21 (they say to use 1/day, I've used 1 every 2-3 days to save $ - used extra tape to maintain closure around the skin).   The tel. # is : 1-800-874-5797 (You have to get a member # when you 1st call, then, the next day you call back & place your order - it comes in a day or 2).
BTW, I also apply Refresh PM (lubricant) to my eye 5 - 10 times daily.

 For me,  everything I use is temporary, I have to constantly be aware of my eye dryness - as soon as I take off the NITEYE bubble in the morning, about 10 minutes later I'm putting in Refresh PM,  with the eye issues you have to be constantly monitoring the dryness.....
And, like everything in life,  you adjust.
Always good thoughts,  Nancy
