Hi, we have not used proper Lundie loop glasses but my wife used some of the pictured ones occasionally, they were OK for an odd hour but made her eyes dry.

There are other options to help, my wife has regular Botox injections in her eyelids and eyebrows, this can help but is still reliant on the brain being stimulated enough to want to open them.

There are also surgical procedures that can help, one is to pare some of the muscle of the eyelid to weaken it the other is on the frontalis to lift the eyes from above.
