The Science of
Overnight Repair
Your eyes are most vulnerable while you sleep. Snooze uses advanced hydrogel technology to create a protective, hydrating environment that works with your body's natural repair cycle.

The Problem
Why Your Eyes Suffer at Night
During sleep, tear production drops significantly. Your lacrimal glands slow down, leaving less of the protective tear film that keeps your eyes comfortable during waking hours.
For the estimated 1 in 5 people with nocturnal lagophthalmos—the inability to fully close eyelids during sleep—the problem compounds. Exposed corneas face hours of air circulation from fans, HVAC, and dry indoor environments.
The result: morning dryness, grittiness, redness, and blurred vision that can take hours to resolve. Over time, chronic overnight dryness can lead to corneal damage and increased infection risk.

Tear Film Science
Protecting All Three Layers
Your tear film isn't simple saltwater—it's a sophisticated three-layer system. Snooze is designed to protect all three.
Lipid Layer
Prevents evaporation
The outermost oil layer, produced by meibomian glands, seals in moisture. Snooze creates an external barrier that supplements this layer, dramatically reducing tear evaporation overnight.
Aqueous Layer
Provides hydration
The watery middle layer makes up 90% of the tear film. It carries nutrients, oxygen, and antibodies. When production slows during sleep, Snooze helps maintain the existing supply by preventing loss.
Mucin Layer
Bonds tears to the eye
The inner layer ensures tears spread evenly across the cornea. By keeping eyelids gently closed, Snooze prevents disruption to this delicate foundation layer.
How It Works
Four Steps to Morning Comfort
Apply Before Sleep
Peel the patch from its backing and place it gently over your closed eyelid, smoothing from the inner corner outward. The medical-grade adhesive bonds comfortably to skin without pulling.
Seal & Hydrate
The hydrogel creates a breathable moisture barrier that prevents tear evaporation. Meanwhile, it gently holds your eyelid closed, addressing nocturnal lagophthalmos naturally.
Protect All Night
While you sleep, the patch shields your eyes from air currents, fans, and dry indoor air. The sustained-release gel delivers continuous hydration for 8+ hours without reapplication.
Wake Up Restored
In the morning, peel gently from the outer corner. Your eyes start the day hydrated, comfortable, and free from the gritty irritation of overnight dryness.
What's Inside
Premium Ingredients, Zero Compromise
