Corneal Endothelial Morphology and Thickness Alterations in Patients With Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea–Hypopnea Syndrome

Conclusions: Greater pleomorphism and polymegathism of corneal endothelium was found in patients with severe OSAHS when compared with healthy subjects. Low percentage of REM sleep, usually found in patients with OSAHS, may cause an increase in corneal thickness.
