Case 2: Optovue iWellness Exam and Diopsys NOVA-DN

Since no etiology for the macro-infarct had yet been uncovered, the patient was re-questioned about several aspects of his genera health. He admitted to snoring and gasping, and what his wife believed was sleep apnea, so severe that she often slept in a different room. The patient reluctantly agreed to overnight polysomnography to determine the respiratory disturbance index during night sleep which is a value to diagnose and grade Sleep Apnea Syndrome (SAS). In an important article, the association between SAS and Nonarteric Anterior lschemic Optic Neuropathy (NAION) revealed a high prevalence of SAS in patients with NAION.3 Our patient has yet to schedule this highly recommended diagnostic procedure. Normal tension glaucoma is also a consideration and similarly has been associated with SAS.
