A new British study has found that a certain eye disorder has been linked to the dreaded sleep apnea problem. It is called FES (floppy eyelid syndrome) which is pretty much associated with obstructive sleep apnea.
People with OSA are at risk of oxygen deprivation when breathing slows or stops during sleep. OSA can contribute to or be aggravated by high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity and other systemic problems.
