Sleeping with an eye mask is generally safe and should not damage your eyes. It can be used to improve sleep and may even remove the appearance of dark circles under the eyes. However, make sure the eye mask fits properly and does not put too much pressure on your eyes or eyelids.
If you experience any discomfort or irritation while using an eye mask, you should stop using it and consult your doctor.
Additionally, if you have certain eye conditions such as dry eye or blepharitis, you may want to consult with your doctor before using an eye mask to ensure that it will not worsen your symptoms.

Eyes blurry after wearing a sleep mask
It is not uncommon to experience some blurriness or discomfort when you first put on an eye mask, especially if it is your first time using one. This is usually due to the mask pressing against your eyes or eyelashes and should go away once you get used to wearing the mask.
However, if your eyes remain blurry after you have taken off the eye mask, this could be a sign of a more serious issue. It is possible that the eye mask was too tight or that you have an underlying eye condition that was exacerbated by wearing the eye mask.
In either case, you should stop using the eye mask and consult your doctor for further evaluation and treatment.
