Dry eye and CPAP

Post by cjj62 » Mon Aug 28, 2023 2:52 pm

I was having horrible dry eye. My eyes wanted to slam shut each afternoon. I switched from a MesRes naval cushion (the kind that doesn't go into the nose) to a Phillips one, and saw a warning that you shouldn't use it if you have dry eye! It's too late to return them, but I have an eye cover from a plane trip, so I have tried using that, and the eyes have improved about 90%.
