No CPAP will not increase your IOP when it is measured at the ophthalmologist office.

Thank you Dr Hagan. I understand. My concern is if IOP will increase during CPAP use during sleep?
JohnHaganMD
I don’t know if there are studies on that. With small nasal pillows should not be problem. Even a full face mask if we’ll fit and properly adjusted settings should not raise IOP. biggest problem is drying eye during sleep with CPAP
KentEJ
Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions Dr Hagan. I appreciate it. I use Refresh PM gel to control that dryness
from my CPAP.

Good choice
