Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the influence of sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (SAHS) syndrome and treatment with continuous air pressure (CPAP) on the circadian intraocular pressure (IOP) patterns and its structural impact on the nerve fiber layer of the retina to analize the relationship between SAHS and glaucoma. OBJECTIVES: 1. To study the PIO and its fluctuations in patients with SAHS before starting treatment with CPAP. Objective 2. To assess the effect of CPAP on circadian IOP patterns. 3. Evaluate the effect of changes in IOP in patients with OSA treated with CPAP in the nerve fiber layer of the retina. METHODS: A prospective study to be monitored continuously for 24 hours IOP by contact lens device Sensimed Triggerfish (Sensimed AG, Switzerland). Objective 1. To monitore and compare the IOP for 24 hours at 74 patients diagnosed with SAHS before starting treatment with CPAP and 37 patients without OSA. Objective 2. To study the impact of CPAP treatment by a study design in two stages CPAP / sham CPAP. A first monitoring of IOP will be compared before starting treatment with CPAP, with monitoring a month (CPAP-sham CPAP) and 12 months after initiation of treatment with CPAP. Objective 3. To correlate the values obtained from the monitoring of IOP in the thickness of the nerve fiber layer of the retina, as measured by optical coherence tomography, at baseline and at 12 months after starting treatment with CPAP.
