My eyes are swollen or irritated

No air should be directed up in to the eye area with a properly sized and fitted mask. This might indicate leak in the top area of your mask; gently tighten the top mask straps taking care not to over tighten. This leak might also indicate a worn mask cushion that needs replacing.

Some people naturally sleep with their eyes partially open which can cause dryness or irritation; they benefit from wearing a simple fabric eye mask. If swelling or irritation is chronic or persistent, consult with your sleep or primary care physician.
