Tired of Tape

I have had Bells for over a year now and I am tired of taping my eye shut to sleep. I have tried not taping it and it dries out at night. Ointments did not help either. The tape is comfortable but it creates an extra bag under my eye and who wants that. Does anyone have anything that is working for them?

" Have you tried a sleep mask, one of the satin ones? I use an eye patch for the times when the drops are not enough.
Hope this helps. "

" I'm sorry about your BP. I just got BP a month ago...it really sucks (as you know). Drs don't think I'll recover...which sucks even more. Anyway, my ophthalmologist gave me something that resembles a 1-eyed-goggle. He refers to it as a "moisture chamber" for me eye. It forms a bit of a seal around my eye (with minimal lines left on my face) and keeps the ointment in it. It's more comfy than the tape and a regular eye patch. "
