Does therapy effect your eyes in any way? It seems like my eyes water real easy now. It might just be pollen this time of year but its never effected me before. Thanks Michael

With a nasal or full face cushion mask, leakage over the nose can blow across eyes, drying them.
Nasal pillows are not as bad with this.

It's not during the night but during the day that I have noticed it. Using nasal pillows with no leaking.

You could always try a Claritin or similar for a day or two and see if the problem clears up... would at least point to potential allergies. Cpap doesn't generally provoke watering.
