Probably: As long as the device is over the lower face and does not touch or hit the eye, then he can go back on the cpap.

Laser Cataract Surge: Likely your husband had cataract surgery with the new Femtosecond laser which helps decrease the amount of energy needed to remove the cataract: surgeons believe this will speed recovery and prevent damage to corneal endothelial cells. If the surgery went as planned (no need for a large incision) and no vitreous loss, CPAP usually can be used as usual. As always, tell your eyeMD if worsening pain.
