Abstract

Dry eye syndrome is a problem for every ophthalmologist today. Disruption of the mechanism of functioning of the precorneal tear film depends on many factors of influence, both internal and external.  The etiology of dry eye syndrome is diverse. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between dry eye syndrome and obstructive sleep apnea. Material and methods: We studied 120 patients who were assessed for the risk of obstructive sleep apnea and dry eye syndrome by conducting a clinical examination and filling out a questionnaire. The results were processed with SPSS v. 20.0, using variation, variance, comparative and correlation analyzes and risk assessment analysis. Results: About 1/3 of the subjects have dry eye syndrome. Dry eye syndrome correlates with male gender, the risk of OSA, post-sleep fatigue, and the risk of sleep fragmentation. Conclusions: Dry eye is associated with poorer results in all quantitative and qualitative aspects of sleep. Current results indicate that patients with OSA are prone to dry eyes. Therefore, clinicians should be aware of the possibility of developing dry eye in patients with OSA.
