Sleep Apnea & Your Eyes šļøš¤
Did you know that your sleep health can directly impact your eye health?
Sleep apnea doesnāt just affect your breathingāitās been closely linked to several ocular conditions that can quietly affect your comfort and vision over time.
Hereās what we often see:
⨠Floppy Eyelid Syndrome
Loose, easily everted eyelids that can lead to irritation, redness, and chronic inflammationāespecially upon waking.
⨠Dry Eye Syndrome
Interrupted sleep and poor eyelid closure can reduce tear stability, leading to dryness, burning, and fluctuating vision throughout the day.
Over time, untreated sleep apnea may increase the risk of ongoing ocular surface disease and discomfort.
Your eyes can be an early indicator of whatās happening while you sleep.
If youāve been diagnosed with sleep apneaāor suspect you may have itāitās important to have your eyes evaluated as part of your overall health.
