Air Leaking into Eyes

Post by Rhodesie » Mon Apr 14, 2025 5:16 pm

Anyone have any tips/tricks to help stop air back pressuring up a tear duct? Husband has been using his resmed ASV for years but recently wakes up some mornings feeling like a "red hot poker" in his eye. I have looked at the data and there doesn't seem to be leaks detected.

Thanks for any suggestions/help

He needs to be seeing an eye doctor.
I don't know if some plugs are indicated for your husband to block the air entering the ducts and traveling up to the eyes but it needs to be evaluated by a doctor.
