Mirage Vista

Post by hairnet » Sat Oct 28, 2006 6:50 pm

Has the Mirage Vista been changed recently or is it the same as the one I see comments on back in early 2006? Anyone have any additional comments on using the Vista? Thanks.

I've not heard of any changes being made to the Vista. I tried it several years ago. It kept springing leaks directly up toward my eyes. I couldn't use it.

The Mirage Vista is my new mask this week. It does leak some up to my eyes but since I'm asleep it hasn't bothered me. If I end up with conjunctivitis, then I'll contact the doctor to authorize a different one. With my insurance I had to pay an extra $38 for a "nonstandard" mask- have no clue what a standard mask will be. The first two nights I fought the Vista, then discovered I had the nasal mask upside down. The directions are not too concise but the ones listed online are great. I think I still prefer the nasal pillows but this is a good change off. It has made a canker sore on the inside of my cheek but that will heal.
