Sleep apnea and glaucoma risk study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at whether having obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) raises the risk of a certain type of glaucoma (normal tension glaucoma). If you are newly diagnosed with OSA and will use CPAP treatment, you may be able to join and help prevent vision loss.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been newly diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea and are planning to use CPAP therapy.
- You are 21 years old or older.
- Your vision (with glasses or contacts) is at least 20/40, and your glasses prescription is not too strong (less than ±6 diopters).
- You haven't had eye surgery other than routine cataract surgery.
- You don't have narrow angle glaucoma or other eye problems like diabetic retinopathy that could affect the back of your eye.

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 trial studies whether mild, controlled low oxygen during sleep can change sleep apnea symptoms and related blood pressure issues. It mainly looks at people with newly diagnosed, untreated sleep apnea and early high blood pressure.
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 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 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.
This study measures how eye pressure and standard eye-function tests perform in people with normal eyes, higher eye pressure, or early signs of glaucoma. It may help researchers understand who is at risk and how best to monitor eye health before or during glaucoma.
