Abstract: BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of surgical treatment on ocular findings in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). PATIENTS AND METHODS: The authors studied 34 eyes of 34 newly diagnosed OSAS patients. The sleep study was performed before and 6 months after expansion sphincter pharyngoplasty (ESP). Retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), choroidal thickness (CT), and retinal arteriolar caliber (RAC) analyses were performed using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography. Intraocular pressure (IOP) and ocular pulse amplitude were performed using the Pascal dynamic contour tonometer. RESULTS: The preoperative and postoperative Apnea Hypopnea Index scores and average oxygen saturation values were significantly different (P = .0001 and P = .001, respectively). There was no significant difference between the preoperative and postoperative RNFL thicknesses (P > .05). The preoperative subfoveal, nasal, temporal CT, and IOP were significantly different from the postoperative measurements (P = .006, P = .05, P = .036, and P = .0001, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: ESP had a significant influence on CT and IOP in patients with OSAS, maintaining a decrease in CT and IOP 6 months after surgery. The determination of these ocular findings may be useful to show the positive effects of ESP. © 2020 Slack Incorporated. All rights reserved.
