Özet

Objective: Hypoxia, perfusion pressure changes, systemic hypertension, vasospasm, increase in blood viscosity and small vessels' resistance may cause ischemia in Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). The aim of this study is to assess the effect of hypoxia on the eye (choroidal and corneal thicknesses) in patients with OSAS.
