Özet
Purpose: To evaluate ocular surface and Meibomian glands morphology of patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Materials and methods: Based on polysomnography, 36 eyes of 36 patients with severe OSAS (Group 1, apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) >= 30/h) and 24 eyes of 24 patients with primary snoring or mild OSAS (Group 2, AHI < 15/h) were enrolled. Detailed eye examination along with ocular surface staining (fluorescein, 2%) according to Oxford scale, tear film break-up time (t-BUT), Schirmer 1 test, ocular surface disease index (OSDI) scoring, and evaluation of upper and lower eyelid Meibomian glands using infrared filter of slit-lamp biomicroscope were performed. in addition to grading Meibomian gland drop-out, the presence morphologic alterations such as Meibomian gland duct distortion, thinning and dilatation were also assessed. Results: the mean ages were 50.8 +/- 8.3 (range, 35-68) and 47.9 +/- 10.5 (range, 27-69) in Group 1 and Group 2, respectively (p = 0.616). Best-corrected visual acuity, Schirmer 1 test, Oxford scale and OSDI scores, and lower meiboscores did not differ significantly between groups. in Group 1, average t-BUT was lower (p = 0.003), upper and total (upper + lower) meiboscores were higher as compared to Group 2 (p < 0.05). the frequency of Meibomian gland duct distortion, thinning and dilatation were also significantly greater in Group 1 (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Morphological changes, in addition to Meibomian glands dropout were significant in severe OSAS patients as demonstrated objectively with meibography. Schirmer 1 and t-BUT tests were in favor of evaporative type dry eye syndrome, which also support Meibomian gland alterations in severe OSAS patients.
