Ok I am just back from seeing the ophthalmologist, and guess what?
"This can not be attributed to cpap - it is just a coincidence."
Yeah sure.
Apparently my eye has "suddenly" gotten lazy and I need to do eye exercises because it gets tired too fast.
Surprise surprise
And my sparklies are ocular migraines - and since they happen at the same time that my sinus react ... they are related to the same thing that makes my sinuses inflate, so what ever I do, like taking antihistamines, helps them too.

Re: Blurry Vision Club ;)
When I started wearing a CPCP I started having blurry vision and bags under my eyes. I went to my regular doctor about the bags but he thought I had an excess fluid problem. I went on wearing the CPAP and finally made an appointment with my eye doctor. When I saw the eye doctor and he read my symptoms, he immediately asked me if I had started wearing a CPAP!
He told me that many people experience blurry vision when wearing a CPAP. I started wearing a full face mask (Fit life) and the blurry vision went away. The Fitlife mask covers eyes nose and mouth. The causes the same pressure to be on the out side of the eyes that is behind the eyes.

I too had terrible double vision after using my new CPAP with a face mask that covered my whole nose and mouth. I tried to hydrate my eyes with no effect. I changed my mask to the Amara view mask which is covers only my mouth and the tip of my nose and my vision went back to normal in 3 days. It's not dry eyes, it's the mask putting pressure on the muscles around your eyes.
