Intraocular pressure down…
Question:
I’ve been on CPAP for about 16 months. Just before, I had a glaucoma pressure test. My intraocular pressure was at the edge of borderline, not really surprising given that my father has glaucoma. However, good news. I had my IOP checked the other day. Normal, dropped about 20%. The opthalmologist was surprised, but I explained why I thought the CPAP was helping. She took notes.

I too had a similar experience. I was having regular eye tests and after my first year on CPAP, my interoccular eye pressure was down by about 25%. And yes, my eye doctor was also surprised. Just one of those nice side effects of CPAP. Ross Bernheim
