Trouble with leakage around eyes

[ChainSaw]

I have been using CPAP for three months. I use a Ultra Mirage Full Face Mask by ResMed. My problem is the slight leakage (usually toward morning) close to my eyes.
Are there masks that cover both nose and mouth but fit lower so as not to leak on the eyes?

I have the F & P 431 full face mask. It cups under the chin and most nights stays in place but many mornings I wake up to air leaking in my eyes. I wonder if it's because our faces produce oils during the night? I know that a face must be free of oils/lotions before bed to maintain a good seal so that's why I'm guessing we may lose some of that seal come morning time. Just a thought but it does make sense. (I think..lol)

Check out http://www.hybridmask.com

This mask delivers air into both the nose and mouth but does not leak air into the eyes (you'll understand why when you look at the picture).

The Hybrid is a good solution for many of us.

Thanks Mary, before I had read your solution, I had gone to the home care place and gotten a 431 Fisher. It doesn't go up as high so leakage shouldn't bother as much. I don't think it will leak as much. The Fisher is also a little wider so maybe I can regrow my handle bar mustache. I also picked up a chinstrap. I have a tendency to drop my chin out and breath through my mouth and wake up with the driest mouth I can imagine.
