“…26 A systematic review of 11 population-based cross-sectional studies found the pooled odds ratio of the association between low myopia (up to À 3.0D) and glaucoma to be 1.65 and for myopia 4 À 3.0D to be 2.46. 27 As with glaucoma, the link between cataract and myopia has been reported across many studies. A meta-analysis of large, population-based studies found myopia to be associated with nuclear as well as posterior subcapsular cataracts.…”

“…[7][8][9] Myopia is highly prevalent in East Asia [10][11][12] and is a risk factor for glaucoma. 13 In advanced glaucoma, higher myopia has been associated with significantly higher frequencies of cecocentral scotomas located just temporal and inferior to the fixation point. 14,15 However, VF defects characteristic of high myopia have not been properly studied in early glaucoma, 16 and whether highly myopic eyes are at greater risk for impaired paracentral vision during early glaucoma is unknown.…”

“…We divided individuals into two groups: highly ME and a control group of EE. As myopia is a risk factor for glaucoma development (34) , and it is known that CT differs between EE and ME, we used macular OCT to evaluate the effects of the WDT over the choroid in these two groups of patients. The results of the present study corroborate the findings of Mansouri et al We also found no statistically significant difference in mean central corneal thickness between the two groups, which may otherwise have interfered with IOP measurements.…”
