Abstract
The relationship between glaucoma and Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) has long been discussed, with conflicting study findings. OSAS appears in the most recent studies to be more of an aggravating factor than an independent risk factor for glaucoma. Patients with OSAS may develop a more rapid progression of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). OSAS may damage the optic nerve not only by increasing the intraocular pressure (IOP) but also by altering the blood supply to the optic nerve as shown by more recent work with OCT-Angiography. Although the systemic benefits of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) have been demonstrated, few studies have evaluated its effect on the optic nerve. CPAP might act on glaucomatous neuropathy by improving the blood supply to the optic nerve. The study of this mechanism of action might provide new insights into the relationship between OSAS and glaucoma.

Effect of obstructive sleep apnoea on retinal microvascular function: a randomised controlled trial. Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol 2022; 260:2129-2139. [PMID: 35201404 PMCID: PMC8866916 DOI: 10.1007/s00417-022-05596-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2021] [Revised: 01/28/2022] [Accepted: 02/15/2022] [Indexed: 01/17/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Retinal microvascular endothelial dysfunction is thought to be of importance in the development of ocular vascular diseases. Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) causes macrovascular endothelial dysfunction, but the effect of OSA on retinal microvascular endothelial function is not known. We aimed to determine the effect of OSA on retinal microvascular function. METHODS We conducted a multi-centre, double-blind, randomised, parallel, controlled trial in patients with known moderate-to-severe OSA, established on continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Participants were randomised to 14 nights of either continued CPAP or sham CPAP to generate a return of OSA. Retinal vascular responses to flickering light were measured using dynamic vessel analysis both at baseline and after 14 nights of intervention. The primary outcome was the change from baseline to follow-up in the area under the curve of the arteriolar response to flickering light, sham CPAP versus continued CPAP. RESULTS Nineteen patients were randomised to sham CPAP, and 18 patients were randomised to continued CPAP. There was no significant effect of CPAP withdrawal and return of OSA on retinal responses, with a change in the area under the curve of the arteriole response to flickering light of + 3.8 arbitrary units (95% CI - 10.6 to + 18.2, p = 0.59), sham CPAP versus continued CPAP. CONCLUSIONS CPAP withdrawal and a return of OSA had no significant effect on retinal microvascular responses. This contrasts with the effect of CPAP withdrawal on macrovascular endothelial function and suggests that OSA has different effects on macrovascular and microvascular endothelial function.
