High intraocular pressure : a comparative study between Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and non-OSA subjects
Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) affects 2-5% of the middle-aged population and is a potentially life-threatening condition. Previous studies on OSA and glaucoma have reported mixed findings. This was a cross-sectional comparative study with a study duration of one year to compare the incidence...

| description | Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) affects 2-5% of the middle-aged population and
is a potentially life-threatening condition. Previous studies on OSA and glaucoma
have reported mixed findings. This was a cross-sectional comparative study with a
study duration of one year to compare the incidence of high intraocular pressure
among OSA subjects and non-OSA subjects. This study took place in a tertiary
hospital where a total of 50 subjects with OSA and 50 non-OSA subjects were
recruited. The average age was 37 years (19,65) in a multiethnic study population
(76% (Malay), 18% (Chinese) and 6% (Indian)). All patients underwent a full night
computer-assisted polysomnogram (SOMNOCheck Effort Weinmann, Hamburg,
Germany), Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), Mullers manouevre (MM) to assess the
level of obstruction and tonometry. The incidence of high Intra Ocular Pressure (IOP)
among OSA subject was 52% with a significant difference between non-OSA and
OSA subjects. Correlation between ESS and IOP were significant (p<0.05) for both
eyes. There was a significant difference in mean IOP between non-OSA and OSA
subjects for both eyes (p<0.05). A significant association was found between the
presence of collapse at retropalatal and retrolingual region with high IOP (p<0.05).
The incidence of high IOP among OSA patient (52%) provides a new insight in
the management of patients with OSA. Significant associations exist between OSA
parameters (ESS and presence of collapse on Mullers manouevre) and high IOP.
We strongly recommend periodic ophthalmic assessment of intraocular pressure
in patients with OSA. |
