  Introduction: To evaluate the association of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) with Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer (RNFL), Ganglion Cell Complex (GCC) and Choroidal Tissue Thickness (CCT). Methods: This cross-sectional study included 50 patients with OSAS and 50 controls between July 2014-January 2015). OSAS severity was classified by using the Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI). RNFL thickness, GCC thickness and CCT analyses were performed by Optic Coherence Tomography (OCT). Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS for Windows version 21 software. Results: The mean Intraocular Pressure (IOP) of the patients with OSAS 16.1 ± 1.37, the cup/disc (C/D) ratio was 0.45 ± 0.17 and vertical C/D ratio was 0.43 ± 0.16. The control group mean IOP was 15.2 ± 1.03, the C/D ratio was 0.36 ± 0.2.. Read More»
