The pressing of the eyes by this mask is very small, and being a person who fears in normal times, this product is widely bearable. If you open your eyes in the mask (yes we can, there is space Eye in the foam!) You can see a small light that passes underneath. Unless the light is very intense, this is still largely bearable, even for someone like me who has extreme difficulties not to sleep in the dark. For the price, I recommend this sleep mask!
