The Effects of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) on Retina and Optic Nerve
Salem Talat Salem;
Abstract
hronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) is a progressive disease, in which hypoxemia occurs due to ventilation-perfusion imbalance,Visual and auditory receptors are sensitive to hypoxemia. Chronic hypoxemia is known to cause neurophysiological changes in COPD patients. Hypoxaemia may cause neuropathy by its direct effect on the nerve fibres or by increasing the impact of neurotoxic factors. Besides hypoxaemia, smoking, hypercapnia, advanced age, and malnutrition can be contributing factors in COPD-related neuropathy.
