Does anyone know of adverse effects from using a CPAP for extended use. Like 8,10 or 12 or more years? Any heart or lung issues?

The only issue I am aware of is a possible increase in the risk of glaucoma. However, it has been found that eye pressure increases in the supine position over that in the upright position. And also there may be correlation w/the risk of glaucoma and reduced oxygen saturation as w/COPD.
My daughter-in-law's father has been on cpap for a long time with no adverse issues that are known.
