Eyelid ptosis and dermatochalasis in obese patients with obstructive sleep apnoea: A large-scale propensity score-matched analysis

OSA is independently associated with a nearly two-fold increased risk of eyelid ptosis and dermatochalasis in obese patients, beyond the known association with floppy eyelid syndrome. These findings support enhanced ophthalmologic surveillance in OSA patients and highlight the importance of recognising ocular manifestations in sleep disorder populations.
