Sometimes I need to wear an eye mask to keep the light out and sleep better.
I found this one, which fits under the hard plastic "bridge of the nose" on my nasal mask. It's very comfortable and also keeps the air from blowing in my eyes. It's not big or bulky, so it doesn't block the air vents of my nasal mask.

I actually just bought a pair of these at TJ Maxx for 5.99. Might want to go back and get another pair - I had no idea how expensive these normally are!
Began CPAP therapy 3/22/2011.

I did try these, but with the full face mask I found it to be uncomfortable. Went back to my Onyx for now. Anyone able to get a good read on leaks while using these?

Cut off the nose so that there's nothing between you and your mask.

I haven't tried that, will give it a go. Just take the scissors to them?
