Sleep disorders are increasingly recognized to contribute to
medical morbidities and mortality. More and more ocular diseases
are linked to sleep disorders, among them in particular being
obstructive sleep apnea. Management of these ocular diseases
requires a good understanding of such association and often a
collaborative approach with sleep disorder specialists. On the
other hand, many patients with sleep disorders have concurrent
ocular disorders. With this in mind, timely referral to
ophthalmologists would greatly alleviate comorbidities and improve
the quality of life in such patients. Eye Diseases Associated with
Sleep Disorders emphasizes the underlying pathophysiology of each
ocular disorder in the respective setting of sleep disorders. A
typical case scenario is presented at the beginning of each
chapter. The specific ocular disease is then described in
reader-friendly terms to facilitate an overall understanding of the
condition. The authors finally review the accumulated evidence
regarding the association between ocular diseases and sleep
disorders, from discussing possible underlying pathophysiologies to
the analysis of clinical study data. With a good understanding of
the pathogenesis, this book helps bring together primary care
clinicians with eye care specialists for managing patient
morbidities in an easily digestible figure-rich format.
