@Marp 

 

A person who works in a doctor's office suggested to me that  we follow her example if a mask is too loose or rides up to the eyes.

 

Just twist the two side elastic  loops one time and THEN fit them over the ears. 

 

The mask then fits more snugly and eliminates gaps on the sides.

 

This is such a simple thing that I felt really dumb for not thinking of it before.

The technique I mentioned in my previous post  (twisting the elastic side loops one time, into a figure-8 position) stops the mask from riding up to your eyes.

 

That problem was bothering me, too.

@novamc1 I took the figure 8 suggestion and it did help. Mask still moved but not as often and not as far/close to my eyes. Thank you!

@novamc1 I tried that and unfortunately it didn't work for me.  I gave those particular masks - a lot of them - to relatives who gladly took them.  They were sanitary and untouched.
