I've been using a cpap machine for over a month and ever since i started i've had red eyes that won't go completely away. any ideas?

Lubrication: The CPAP machine mask on your face will leak air, blowing up towards your eyes. This can cause dryness, and secondarily redness and irritation. Try using an over the counter lubricating gel. Or ointment at night.

Air leak?: Is air leaking and blowing into your eyes? If so, adust mask, try another mask, or try a lubricating sealant. Also ask your sleep doc.
