PAP Mask: Resmed Air Fit F20
PAP Machine: Resmed AirCurve 10 VAuto
Humidifier: HumidAir Heated Humidifier
Pressure Setting: Low - 12 High - 25

I couldn't stand my Resmed F20 anymore because of my pressure being so high the air coming from the vent holes was constanly blowing full force into my eyes and face! I switched to the Amara View and now the problem is whenever I change sleep positions I get the air blowing full force into my eyes and face again from the vent holes now too!

I'm beginning to except the fact that I will simply be without uninterrupted sleep for the rest of my life.

It's impossible for the air from the vent to blow into your eyes. the vents point forward.

You're having *leaks* around the cushion that is what's blowing into your eyes.

are you using a mask liner?

At my last sleep study I complained of the same problem to the sleep tech so she told me to cup my hand over the vent holes briefly to see if it was a leak or not. I do this often and it does seem to be the vent holes. I tend to sleep with my head down a lot.

It's still leaks, air can't make a u turn after it leaves the forward facing vents.
