Abstract

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) affects ocular health in many patients. There is consistent evidence of an increased risk of floppy eyelid syndrome, nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, diabetic macular edema, and other retinal vasculature changes in individuals with OSA. Other ocular diseases have also recently been associated to OSA, such as keratoconus, glaucoma, central serous chorioretinopathy, and diabetic retinopathy. Moreover, OSA treatment may reduce the risk of these eye diseases, and some recent works have shown how ocular findings may help monitor OSA evolution after treatment. Finally, several ocular surface complications secondary to leaking masks commonly used in OSA patients under continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) highlight the importance of ensuring a good mask fit.
