People on the dry eye forum lay "Press n Seal" across their eyes to keep the humidity in - I've tried it and it works well to block the air.
How do I find the dry eye forum?
Do you cut two circles off and press it on your eyes? Would it not fall off during the night?

Something to block leaks hitting my eyes?

Leaks from my Amara into my eyes is making my eyes tired in the morning.
Eye masks don't block the gap between the nose and the cheek.
I cant adjust the straps anymore.
I've an exam next week so don't have time to order something.
Any DIY fixes out there?

Re: Philips dreamstation Bipap not supported by sleepyhead

I'm restricted to Ubuntu. The lasted build is 1.0.0-beta-1 for ubuntu which is what I'm using.
I guess I'll have to wait or use the other software you suggested

Re: Amara View users?

I wash my face with a more harsh soap that will your face totally free from oils. Do the same with the mask every night.
If the leaks are loud consider ear plugs. If there's hitting your eyes consider an eye mask
