Glass Eye Wash Cup - Soothing Relief from Allergens, Irritants, Makeup, Dust, Dry Eyes and More - Use With Distilled Water or Saline (10 mL Volume)

Works great

This eye cup is glass, it fits comfortably in the eye socket, and it holds the right amount of fluid. The glass is important to me, because it means no BPA and I can boil it for ten minutes to sterilize it.Yes, I found a couple of mold marks on the sides (not on the surface you press into the eye socket) that were a little rough. So, as I was rinsing it before its initial use, I sanded the rough marks smooth with an emery board as I held it under the faucet. It took 15 seconds, so I am not downgrading it for this.Recently I got a little eye infection, probably from rubbing my eye with a less than perfectly clean hand. It was not pink eye; my tear ducts were swollen and the eye had some discharge but didn’t get red. Anyhow, I made up a saline solution with distilled water and kosher salt, boiled for fifteen minutes, then cooled. The saline bath was very effective...this particular eye infection cleared up within 24 hours.I fill the eye cup about 3/4s full of saline solution, place the stem between my third and ring fingers (palm toward my face,) bend over to fit the cup into my eye socket, press the cup to fit comfortably around my eye, raise my head with the cup pressed in place, bathe my eye, and blink a number of times to make sure the saline is bathing the eye and tear ducts. Then I bend back over to remove the eye cup, empty it, and clean it.I experience no leaks, though I keep a clean tea towel at the ready just in case. I have huge, protruding eyes, and the eye cup fits comfortably in my eye socket leaving plenty of room for the eyelids and eye.I can see that this cup will also help me during allergy season, when my eyes get gummy, and in the winter, when my eyes get too dry.I’m really glad I got this glass eye cup.

GREAT PRODUCT

Nice that is made with sturdy glass, like the eye cups used to be made back in the 60’s and 70’s. Nice to still find something well made!

Perfect for using saline to clean my eyes

As described and as expected

Great

Works well

I can remember my dad using one of these little eye cups to clean the coke dust from his eyes when I was a girl of ten or so. Every day he came home from his job at the coke ovens in the steel plant and would spend fifteen or twenty minutes in the bathroom flushing his eyes with this little glass cup. As I myself aged I found I had a lot of grit in my eyes in the morning when I woke up. The eye specialist told me to get some eye wipes from the pharmacy and clean my eyes every morning with them. Well I did. And it worked but at eighty, I just didn't like using the wipes, so I went searching for something else to use. And WHAM! That's when I found the same little eye cup my dad used those many years ago. I ordered two! One for me and one for my husband. Thank you Universe! I have been using this little cup every morning when I get up and my eyes feel like great. No more sticking together and no more sandy grunge feel in them. Most importantly I am not rubbing them constantly anymore. Thank you Amazon for selling this little jewel. And also for bringing back the sweet memories of my dad. :)

Feels very rough on the inside. But would still recommend as it is a glass eye cup

Very well made glass item

It works great!

Fits well in the eye socket. I have used it twice and happy with this eye cup.
