- Abstract: Obstructive sleep apnea(OSA)can lead to complications in various systems and or-gans of the body.Dry eye(DE),the most common ocular surface disease in clinical practice,affects visual-related daily activities and work in varying degrees.Recent studies have revealed a potential re-lationship between OSA and DE.OSA can induce DE through a series of mechanisms such as oxidative stress,inflammation,rhythm disorder and so on,and the combination of OSA and DE may profoundly affect the sleep health,mood disorders,and quality of life of patients in a new form overall.However,there is still a lack of systematic understanding of the comorbidity of OSA and DE,resulting in insuffi-cient screening,diagnosis and treatment of OSA related DE in clinical practice.This paper provided a review of the relationship between OSA and DE to raise awareness among clinicians of the diagnosis and management of DE during OSA treatment.
