Size guide here- correct?
I was sent home with a medium mask, but according to the questionnaire here, I should be in an extra small. My mask does ride up all night and then blow air into my eyes which makes them all puffy and blurry in the morning. I've tried adjusting it and everything with no luck. I'll have to check in with my DME to see what else I can get my hands on.

You should take your mask back to the DME immediately if your mask is blowing air into your eyes. It could be too large; it could also be maladjusted or it could even be the wrong mask for you. The RT should fit the mask and show you how to properly adjust it. It might be a good idea to bring your CPAP machine with you so that you can get it fitted and adjusted with your normal pressure. There shouldn't be any problem for the DME to provide a smaller mask or even a different type if you need one. Other than just size, different masks have different shapes and fit different shaped faces better than others. It can be very difficult to find a full face mask that fits properly because face size and shape make a big difference in how full face masks fit.

Hi : )
I actually had a DME tighten a FF mask trying to get it to stop blowing air out where it didn't fit my pointy chin. Sheesh. I told him it didn't fit my face. I eventually found a FF mask that fit for those rare occasions when I have to wear one instead of using pillows.
Best wishes!

Thanks guys, I'm going to definitely give them a call today. I think I'm still within 30 days so I should be able to exchange it.
