Press 'N' Seal is a type of plastic wrap marketed for food storage. https://www.glad.com/food-storage/plast ... ss-n-seal/

It has a sticky surface on one side sort of like a Post It Note that will stick to the edge of a bowl or container and seal the food inside. It sticks gently to skin as well, so I guess it would work to protect eyes from leakage around the mask if your skin isn't sensitive to the adhesive.

It's not such a crazy idea, medicine is starting to use adhesive dressings for all sorts of things nowadays (e.g. Tegaderm). I see online that people with stitches and drains use Press 'N' Seal to cover them when they shower. But I think a better approach would be to get a mask that doesn't leak into the eyes in the first place (or learn to adjust the mask so it does not).
