Eye Problems with Mask

I have been using a cpap for about 3 1/2 months. I have been having running eyes since I started ,use a full face mask any idea about how to stop this. Thanks, Melinda,rejoicem56

Are you having any air leaks near the eyes? If I have air leaks, this happens to me too. If this is the case, you may be tightening the mask too tight or too loose - too tight can cause leaks too!

Yes I do have problems with leaks I am still trying to work out the leaks issues. But I even have days that it seems like my vision is not clear when I first get up . So I thought I would ask in here since so many people come on line. Thanks for any ideas. Melinda

You can also try lowering the mask a wee bit on the bridge of your nose. If I have mine up too high, near my eyes, it leaks badly. Don't know if this will work for you.
