does light go through the nose area like other masks?

No, it does not. The contour of the material for the nose is deep enough to go over any size noes PLUS its very well padded along the nose inside the mask, nothing at all can get through. You may have to play with it, but once I got use to it, I love it. Its my favorite mask to wear.

The mask fits snugly across the bridge of the nose and for me no light disturbs my sleep. Depends on the height of the nose bridge I guess. Really for me it is good value. jenny

Absolutely not! I've not had it happen yet. It's one of the many reasons I love this mask!

It does. At first I thought it was just a cloth pouch to store it in, but it's open at the wider end so you can put it over someone's face. The other end is elastic so it's tight and doesn't let the light in.

Hi, there are 3 adjacent panels. 3x 7, 6x7 and 3x7. You have to place your nose so that it almost touches the middle panel. To be perfectly honest, this machine did not work for me. I used it for 2 months, 20 minutes a day, 5 or ) days a week. No change. However, a number of people reported that it does work. I believe them. I think it depends on the individual. If I were you I would try it. I might try an red led mask. I am also using phyto ceramics and I plan on using a vitamin C serum. Good luck.

There is a molded section that covers the nose so there is no more pressure on the nose than on the rest of the face. This mask is very comfortable to wear.

The system really doesn't matter it is the type of mask you have. Some are over nose and mouth. The one I use is over the nose only.

None what so ever, as air passed pretty cleanly through sections near the top of the head. My only advice for this item is make sure you take the film off the front. They put it on so cleanly it is difficult to detect.

not really. i guess with a strong light it might allow some light through. however, under normal conditions no light gets through

Top part goes over your head and the bottom part goes under your chin. The actual nasal pillows (Not shown) go into your nose. There are various sized of nasal pillow to pick from to get the most comfy fit. This is great for anyone that is a bit claustrophobic. Very light on my face. No problem reading or watching TV. About the easiest mask to adapt to!! I use a chinstrap to keep my mouth shut along with the Optlife. The best thing is no issues with leaks like the other masks!

Yes, it is translucent light, very light and airy! Great coverage nonetheless..

No. Mask fits snug to face. No way you are getting glasses in there to. However I do have a rather larger than average size nose.

It lets light through completely. It's see through until your shower steam makes it hazy but the light isn't affected.

The strap is adjustable. It will stay on your face but will not keep the light out without the strap. It really is a very good mask. It truly is worth the price.

It seems to block light pretty well overall. Sometimes there is a little that creeps in on the bottom, but usually it is just a matter of pulling the mask down a little bit more so that it is sitting right. I can't promise perfection, but I haven't found anything better yet.

Hi Eric! The white will show through a bit of light, though the others keep the majority of the light hidden. A bit will peek through, though it will be a lot less than without the covers. As some customers have mentioned here, it's all a matter of preference and may depend on how much light you need. Apologies if that is a bit vague. If there's anything else, just let me know. I can be contacted directly via this link:

It's whitish, not quite clear. I don't think it distorts the shape of the nose because it is so soft. In fact, the fact it doesn't distort the nose is why it doesn't work as well as the harder snore pin.

Not really. I have had my mask now for 8 months and am a teacher and am able to sleep late on summer mornings. We only have blinds in our bedroom and no curtains, so by 7:00 its kind of bright. I am able to sleep comfortably in a 'black out state'. It is true though, if the mask slips up on my face a little, then if I look way down I'll see some light lines. I just pull the mask back down to its original position and all is well. There is enough room for me to open my eye lids without any problem. I have also learned a little trick to 'seat' the mask - sometimes when I put it on I'll smile which raises my eyebrows just a tad and then I kind of press the mask to my face - this gives me a good position.

No. It has a filtered shade. I am light sensitive due to a detached retina and one pupil that will not completely reduce in size and it does not bother me. I love mine and have bought them for both college-age grandchildren and my daughter and daughter-in-law. Does wonders for our SAD. Hope this helps.
