    I really wish you would do that, Dave. Right now, I'm sort of at my wits end, because the local eye doctors don't seem to be interested. Possibly because we are not talking about one of their "normal" high dollar surgeries that make them their caviar and champagne.

    Other factors: Many years of bright desert sun, blowing wind and sand. Cigar smoke. I'm sure all of these contribute to the problem as well. FWIW, I really can't tell if the punctal plugs have helped or not.

    Nope. Pressure in the eye was checked. By EACH doctor. Also, BP is controlled with meds. If you were talking about CPAP pressure, it isn't that high. Variable at 10-14, I believe.

    I was wondering if anybody could give me a pointer on how to get use to wearing a mask as I have tried wearing it in bed and also tried sleeping in the recliner. I fall asleep with it and about 1 hour later I wake up and take it off and go back to sleep. Just wondering if anybody could give me a pointer on what I might try. thanks
