Summary
Circular optical coherence tomography (OCT) around the optic disc was performed i myopic or glaucomatous eyes. The retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thinning was more rpatients with high myopia associated with primary open-angle glaucoma than in patients with hiWi myopia only. These results indicated that focal RNFL dropouts and diffuse RNFL atrophy or defect in high myopes might be accelerated by an elevated intraocular pressure.
