Sleep Apnoea Associated With Risk of Open-angle Glaucoma 5 Years After Diagnosis
Can sleep apnoea make you blind? New research suggests it can. According to a recent large cohort study, obstructive sleep apnoea was associated with an elevated risk of developing open-angle glaucoma within 5 years of sleep apnoea diagnosis. Sleep apnoea may also be associated with several eye disorders, such as floppy eyelid syndrome, keratoconus, papilledema, optic neuropathy, filamentary or infectious keratitis, papillary conjunctivitis and glaucoma. This may be due to the fact that sleep apnoea leads to severe hypoxemia and increases vascular resistance, which may influence the development of ganglion cell loss.
