Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep disorder frequently associated with optic nerve diseases. Moreover, untreated patients with severe OSA may show optic nerve dysfunction as documented by electrophysiological studies using visual evoked potentials (VEP). Because continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment has proved to restore the physiologic nocturnal breathing, thus preventing nocturnal hypoxemia and reducing inflammation, in this study we tested whether 1-year CPAP treatment may modify VEP responses in patients with severe OSA.
