CPAP treatment and eye health in sleep apnea patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at whether treating sleep apnea with CPAP can help protect your eyes from a type of glaucoma that can lead to blindness. It may help you understand if managing your sleep apnea also benefits your vision.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been recently diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea and are about to start CPAP treatment.
- You are at least 21 years old.
- Your vision is good enough (20/40 or better) with glasses or contacts, and your prescription is within certain limits.
- You have not had serious eye injuries, inflammation, or eye surgery (except routine cataract surgery).
- You do not have other eye conditions that could interfere with the study, like diabetic retinopathy.

This trial tests whether lifestyle changes can help open-angle glaucoma in people who also have obstructive sleep apnea and are obese. It may offer a non-drug way to manage both conditions.
This study looks at whether using positive airway pressure (often called CPAP) improves health outcomes in older adults who have both COPD and obstructive sleep apnea. It may help find ways to reduce symptoms and complications from “overlap” breathing problems.
This trial tests whether treating sleep-disordered breathing (like sleep apnea) can help lower blood pressure in people with high blood pressure. You may join if you have high blood pressure and haven't been diagnosed with a sleep disorder before.
This study looks at different types of sleep apnea to find the best treatment for each person. If you are newly diagnosed and haven't tried CPAP yet, your participation could help doctors personalize therapy for better results.
This study keeps a record of people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who also have high blood pressure, to better understand how CPAP is used and what outcomes happen. It may help your care team by contributing your information to a large multi-center study in China.
This study checks how ResMed CPAP mask systems work in real-life use for people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It may help improve comfort, fit, and performance based on what patients experience over time.
