Interesting. One of my eyes has been a little red and kind of itchy, but I have no idea why.

hmm. Well this has never happened to me before and man is it painful. Just a little wind and it tears up and just pours water. I thought I had something in it but guess not. Nothing is working.

I see you are using the same mask as myself... check to ensure you are not getting leaks up around your eyes. You may need to lightly run your fingers around the area to feel the air rushing out or perhaps you can feel it in your eyes when they are open.
The Quattro has that forehead adjustment where you can make fairly fine adjustments. Just have the top strap of the headgear lightly adjusted, then make the rest of your adjustments with the forehead device. At some point you will reach a happy medium where there are no leaks and your nose bridge is not beet red & sore in the morning.
Is your mask relatively new? I found with a previous Quattro the supplier gave me to try that the face cushion did not fit nearly as well as my new one does. The old face cushion was very cloudy so perhaps it was at the end of its useful life.
