Red, painful eyes
I had been having trouble with my eyes watering from air blowing in them (waiting on an anti-leak strap). A couple days ago I started having problems ith one eye being red in places and hurting and watering even during the day. It's not an all-over red like pinkeye. Could this be linked to cpap?
Re: Red, painful eyes
Air should not escape into your eyes. Either you have the wrong size mask or it is not adjusted properly. Leaks can be a common problem so a mask liner may help if your mask is sized properly. Personally I have had mixed results when I tried the anti-leak straps.

In the meantime of getting the leaks fixed, try some Systane Ultra Lubricant Eye Drops. It has relieved my dry red eyes. (walmart has it over the counter).
