    Best tape ever to use on delicate eye area

    Mepitac tape is the best I've ever used on my eyes. If you have the problem where your eyes do not seal at night and need to tape them closed, you know how important it is to get a gentle tape. Some brands say gentle -- but you know, on the eyes gentle isn't enough. I have been using Mepitac tape for years. It is the easiest to remove, it is sanitary in that it has backing on it, and comes in rolls so you can cut the length you need. I recommend it. Shop around to find the best price, though.

Since silicone is inert, it does not interact chemically with the wound or have any effect upon the cells responsible for the healing process.
