AB  - BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: To evaluate choroidal thickness using spectral-domain 
      optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea 
      syndrome (OSAS) in comparison to healthy controls. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This 
      observational, comparative study consisted of 35 patients with OSAS and 32 age- 
      and sex-matched controls. The controls did not have systemic or ocular diseases. 
      All study participants underwent complete ophthalmic examination as well as 
      choroidal thickness measurement using a high-speed, high-resolution SD-OCT 
      device. RESULTS: The mean horizontal and vertical choroidal thicknesses, 
      respectively, were 237.84 +/- 69.9 mum and 234.97 +/- 62.0 mum (P = .654) in patients 
      with OSAS and 244.09 +/- 41.2 mum and 241.88 +/- 40.9 mum (P = .590) in the healthy 
      controls. The mean choroidal thicknesses were thinner in patients with OSAS, but 
      the difference was not significant (P > .05 for all values). CONCLUSION: No 
      differences in choroidal thickness were found between patients with OSAS and 
      healthy controls.
