Air blowing into my eyes

Post by bugo » Mon Aug 28, 2017 9:33 am

I have a Resmed Airfit F10 and I also have a Philips Amara full face mask. They both leak up around the top, and make my eyes water. Are they just adjusted incorrectly or do I need to buy a smaller mask that isn't a full face mask? If so, what is a good model to use?

Before you try a different mask...try a smaller size of the masks you have. We don't know anything about you ....What machine, what pressure, what size mask...how can we make a judgement??????? Have you been using these masks for a while? Have you just started using them????

Or Padacheek.com liners may help, as could Onyx sleeper masks (Google them).
