Summary

This study looked at whether sleep apnea causes early damage to tiny blood vessels in the eye. Researchers used a special, non-invasive eye scan (OCT-angiography) on 166 adults—some with sleep apnea and some without. The goal was to see if these scans could reveal early signs of blood vessel problems linked to sleep apnea.
