Résumé
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.
