“…We speculate that the first mechanism may be due to the following sequence: the sleeping state in OSAS is associated with a reduction in the ventilatory drive caused by hypoxia and hypercapnia. This causes a decrease in pO 2 and an increase in pCO 2 .…”

“…Hypoxia indirectly increased intracranial pressure during sleep and decreased cerebral perfusion pressure may disturb blood supply of the optic nerve in patients with OSAS. 2,6,27,28 Orbital blood flow measured by colour Doppler ultrasonography was found to be higher in patients with OSAS compared to controls and increase in blood flow was accepted as a vasodilatory response to hypercapnia, one of the most important 29 Vascular disturbances may result with diffuse loss or localized defects of the RNFL before initation of glaucoma. 30 When vascular dysregulation in OSAS is added to nocturnal systemic hypotension, RNFL damage and consequent thinning may occur.…”

“…Ocular associations reported with OSAHS include floppy eyelid syndrome (FES), blepharoptosis, lower lid ectropion, blepharochalasis, eyelash ptosis, lacrimal gland prolapse, papillary conjunctivitis, filamentary or infectious keratitis, recurrent corneal erosion, keratoconus, optic neuropathy, papilloedema, and glaucoma. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] Specific disease management uses the basic concept of gentle pressurisation of the upper airway during sleep to prevent the collapse of the pharynx. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) administered through a nasal or face mask has remained the mainstay of treatment in OSAHS since its advent in the 1980s.…”
