blurred vision

I have been searching the forum all morning for info on blurred vision...I received a new mask a few weeks ago, and ever since have had blurry vision, especially distance. I'm wondering if it could be air leaking into my eyes at night...I also notice that I wake up on my back every morning. Hmmm. Could these two be related? Any way to find out if this is the problem before I spend a fortune on doctors? I got an eye sleep mask for XMas and will try that tonight. Any other wisdom?

Really think you need to call you doc about this. I've never heard of blurred vision related to CPAP therapy. You don't want to take any chances with your vision.

Untreated OSA can caused blurred vision, see: http://www.allbusiness.com/health-care- ... 726-1.html

But because it can also be a symptom of other problems, you should have a doctor guide you rather than rely on board members to help diagnose any medical condition.

Certainly agreed AND many other things.

Do you really think leaks are blowing in your eyes while you are sleeping? w/o waking you up?

I second the doc on that one.

Air should not blow towards your eyes from the mask.
