Hi All,
I am on oxygen, mainly for overnight use.
I keep getting Conjunctivitis in one eye & am begining to think it is from the Oxygen.
I opten wake with the tubing dislodged & wonder if Conjunctivitis is being caused by the draft!
I wonder if an eye mask might stop the problem?
Does anyone else suffer from this?

The more I think about it the more I am sure it’s the draft.
I had a look on NHS choices website & I don’t think I have “infective conjunctivitis”
as no one else at home gets it.
My son is never too worried about who’s flannel & towel he uses & he has never caught it!
So I think I must have “irritant conjunctivitis “.
Wont we look posh with "Eye Masks" on!!
