“…[1][2][3] In myopia, the optic disc undergoes morphological changes, such as optic disc tilt, torsion, and peripapillary atrophy (PPA). [4][5][6] Optic disc tilt and torsion represent the skewed insertion of the optic nerve into the globe and can be acquired during eyeball elongation as myopia develops. 7,8 A recent study observed serial changes in the optic disc of children who developed myopia and showed that optic nerve head (ONH) changes such as disc tilting and development or enlargement of PPA were related to the degree of myopic shift.…”

Purpose To determine the morphologic features of the optic disc and the location of visual field (VF) defect in relation to posterior staphyloma in normal tension glaucoma (NTG) eyes with myopia. Methods One hundred and thirty-four NTG patients with myopia were enrolled. B-scan ultrasonography was performed in enrolled patients. Disc tilt ratio, disc torsion, and area of peripapillary atrophy were measured from disc photographs. Patients were classified according to the presence of posterior staphyloma and its location: staphyloma involving the optic disc, staphyloma involving either the supero-temporal side of the optic disc or the infero-temporal side of the optic disc. The relationship between the location of the posterior staphyloma and that of the VF defect was analyzed. Results Among 134 eyes, 74 eyes (55.2%) had posterior staphyloma on B-scan ultrasonography. Mean torsion degree was significantly greater in eyes with staphyloma involving the temporal side of the optic disc (19.78±18.001) compared with eyes with staphyloma involving the optic disc (4.65±4.921, P ¼ 0.001). The frequency of the location of VF damage differed significantly between eyes with staphyloma involving the supero-temporal side and those involving the infero-temporal side of the optic disc (P ¼ 0.008), which was not significant in eyes with staphyloma involving the optic disc (P ¼ 0.813).Conclusions Optic disc torsion was a prominent finding in myopic NTG eyes when posterior staphyloma was located temporal to the optic disc. The location of posterior staphyloma was related to the direction of disc torsion and the location of VF defect.

“…23,24 As mentioned earlier, we supposed that myopic tilted disc might not have VF progression. In a retrospective study by Doshi et al, 9 16 glaucoma suspects or primary open angle glaucoma patients had stable ocular findings, including VF defects, for up to 7 years. In our study, 20 (43%) of 47 patients in the temporally tilted disc had VF progression by the modified Anderson-Hodapp criteria, and 39 (87%) Figure 1 Kaplan-Meier survival plots of probabilities of visual field progression.…”

“…9 The tilted disc gives rise to asymmetric increase in strain on nerve fibers, therefore susceptible axons are subsequently lost. However, if progression of myopia stopped at a certain age the VF defect will not progress further.…”

“…3,7,8 The myopic tilted disc and peripapillary atrophy may increase the intraocular pressure (IOP)-related strain placed on certain axons. 9 The tilted disc merely caused by myopic change might not have progression, even if RNFL defects exist. In our unpublished data on patients with inferiorly tilted disc syndrome, initial glaucoma-like visual field (VF) defect did not always show the characteristic progression that defines the disease over a 10 year period.…”

Purpose To investigate the long-term visual field (VF) progression of temporally tilted disc and nontilted disc in normal tension glaucoma (NTG). Methods Retrospective, observational case series. Forty-seven patients with temporally tilted disc (47 eyes), 44 patients with nontilted disc in NTG (44 eyes) patients, who were examined by at least 5 VF tests, and were followed-up over a 5-year period, at the

“…[20][21][22][23] Choplin and colleagues did not find a relationship between nerve fiber parameters and axial length or refractive error using scanning laser polarimetry with fixed corneal compensation in 235 normal subjects. [20] However, unlike the current study, this study excluded subjects with 5 diopters or more of spherical refractive error. The relatively normal refractive errors and axial lengths in these subjects, as well as the narrow range, may explain the lack of a relationship in this study.…”
