Patients diagnosed to have OSA by overnight polysomnography were included in the study. Fifty eyes of 25 OSA patients with clinically normal optic disc were compared with 50 eyes of age-matched controls. The study population underwent detailed ophthalmological evaluation including SD-OCT.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There was significant thinning of the superior, inferior, and average RNFL in the OSA group when compared to controls. GCL analysis also showed a significant thinning of the six sectors as well as average and minimum ganglion cell layer + inner plexiform layer in OSA patients. The optic nerve head rim area was significantly decreased in OSA patients when compared to controls.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>OSA patients even with clinically normal optic disc showed significant decrease in the RNFL thickness, GCL thickness, and rim area when compared to age-matched controls. Hence, these patients constitute a high-risk population who need to be regularly screened and followed up for ocular co-morbidities.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/ijo.ijo_985_21","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,16]],"date-time":"2022-02-16T07:51:02Z","timestamp":1644997862000},"page":"453-457","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Evaluation of retinal nerve fiber layer, ganglion cell layer, and optic nerve head morphological parameters in patients with obstructive sleep apnea and comparison with normal population"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"70","author":[{"given":"Vandhana","family":"Sundaram","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cornea, Sankara Eye Hospital, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sujithra","family":"Haridas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences, Kochi, Kerala, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Meenakshi","family":"Dhar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Glaucoma, Centre for Sight, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"CP","family":"Harikrishnan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cataract Services, Chaitanya Eye Hospital, Kochi, Kerala, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20251006","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"667","DOI":"10.1093\/sleep\/22.5.667","article-title":"Sleep-related breathing disorders in adults: Recommendations for syndrome definition and measurement techniques in clinical research.
