An Objective Analysis of the Effect of Obstructive Sleep Apnea on Anterior Segment Parameters
In the study comparing age-sex and BMI-matched groups, some abnormal changes in corneal endothelial morphology and topographic keratoconus screening indices were observed in patients with OSAS. We assume that these corneal changes are due to intermittent hypoxia and hypoxia-induced inflammatory response during apnea-hypopnea episodes in OSAS.
