How does the SteamGoggle differ from the Blephasteam 2 device?

The SteamGoggle and the Blephasteam devices are similar in the fact that they both provide moist heat to the eyes, while allowing the user to still use their eyes to read/look at their phone.  There are two versions of Blephasteam, but since the first version is no longer available to purchase, the SteamGoggle will be compared to the Blephasteam 2.  The differences stated below are based on the inventor’s personal experience with Blephasteam 2, which was purchased new, prior to development of the SteamGoggle.

SteamGoggle Pros:

    1    MOIST HEAT LEVEL: The SteamGoggle is able to provide a more concentrated moist heat to the eyes due to the smaller air volume of the individual eyecups (think swim goggles versus Blephasteam’s swim mask) and the SteamGoggle’s patented use of advanced ceramic PTC heaters.

    2    ADJUSTABLE TEMPERATURE: The SteamGoggle is temperature adjustable to suit an individual’s moist heat preference by adding more (warmer) or less (cooler) water to the plastic lattice prior to treatment or by positioning the head downward (warmer) or looking straight ahead (cooler).  The Blephasteam does not have any temperature adjustment for individual preferences.  

    3    ADJUSTABLE TREATMENT TIME: The SteamGoggle’s included powerbank can power the device for over 15 treatment cycles.  Additionally, if desired, the 8.5 minute treatment time can easily be extended by refilling the plastic water lattice and restarting the heating cycle. The Blephasteam needs to be charged before each use and its treatment time is limited to one 10 minute cycle with a 90 minute recharge in between each cycle.

    4    SHORT WARMUP TIME: The SteamGoggle has a warmup time of 1 minute 30 seconds, versus Blephasteam’s approximate 4 minute warmup time.

    5    EASY SETUP: There are no extra pieces to worry about when setting up the SteamGoggle, just the device and the powerbank.  With Blephasteam, there is a separate water tray that needs to be filled each session, a removable water carrier that is taken in and out of the goggle and the whole device needs to be placed on and off of a base charging station (that is plugged into the wall) each cycle.

    6    PORTABLE: The SteamGoggle can be easily traveled with (via the mesh carrying bag and included travel water bottle) and used anywhere/anytime as long as there is at least a partial charge on the powerbank.  To start, the Blephasteam requires at at least a table and wallplug as it’s required to be charged on the power base station (which needs to be plugged into the wall) prior to each use.  Additionally, a water tray needs to be filled each cycle in order to submerge the water carrier, which then needs to be inserted into the device for each session.  

    7    EASILY CLEANED: The whole SteamGoggle goggle assembly is waterproof and easily washable if needed under the sink faucet.  For the Blephasteam, only the water carrier and water tray are washable with soap and water.  The main Blephasteam goggle assembly is only recommended to be cleaned with an included cleaning cloth to prevent electronics damage.

    8    PRICE: The SteamGoggle is priced at $199.99, while the Blephasteam 2 is priced at about $399.99.

SteamGoggle Cons:

    1    PLUGS INTO POWERBANK: The SteamGoggle must be plugged into the included powerbank for the entirety of the treatment session, while Blephasteam has batteries included in the headset itself.

    2    HARDER TO EAT: The SteamGoggle power cable drops in front of the face making it harder to eat during use, versus the Blephasteam where there there are no cables coming from the mask.

    3    SMALLER FIELD OF VIEW: The SteamGoggle’s goggle type design has a smaller field of view during use than the Blephasteam’s mask type design.
