eye mask for cpap use

Post by herefishy » Wed Mar 22, 2017 4:45 am

Does anybody know of an eye mask that won't "ride up" u nder the cpap mask?Any success with keeping air out of your eyes?

I use the Escape Sleep Mask by Dream Essentials. It's $19.95 but it is worth the price, very, very soft, light and is deep on the side areas of the mask. It doesn't ride up as much as the old mask I used which was the Dream Weaver. I use the Quattro FX and the nose area of the Escape sleep mask is higher so it won't push down on my mask.

When I needed one, no fabric mask would work --for me.
I used a pair of swim goggles.
I punched a little hole in the upper skirt to prevent vacuum on my eyes.
Your mask is supposed to PREVENT air from blowing in your eyes.
If yours fails that, you need a different mask.
Due to my itty-bitty nose, I primarily use nasal pillows, as nearly EVERY cushion mask lets air blow into my eyes.

I got a spare soft sock and tucked it under the top straps of my F10.
Works great!! Ummm .... recommend you wash it first ....

I wear an Activa, and have tried all that I have ever heard of before settling on this one for its many comforts. I don't even feel air coming out onto my eyes, but will try the Dream Essentials just as an experiment to see if it helps my dry eye. Thanks

I found this site to be very helpful. I have dry eye syndrome and have purchased a few things from here. Very helpful, although some of it is on the expensive side.
