Researchers from Taipei Medical University studied 1,012
patients aged 40 and over who were diagnosed with sleep
apnea between 2001 and 2004. They compared these
patients to a control group of 6,072 people without sleep
apnea. They found that those with obstructive sleep apnea
were 1.67 times more likely to develop open-angle glaucoma
within 5 years of their sleep apnea diagnosis than those in
the control group.
