The Cpap mask while not directly affecting your eyes may cause dry eye.
See your eye doctor or try GELTEARS for extremely dry eyes non prescription gel drops available in your drugstore. Put the gel drops in your eyes just before putting on your mask and try not opening your eyes after you put the drops in. If you wake up to go to the bathroom redo the drops and during the day put Visine or another clear drop in your eye.. It works
