Myopia and Glaucoma (2015) Kazuhisa Sugiyama

Description

This book examines the association between myopia, particularly moderate to high myopia, and the increased risk of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and normal-tension glaucoma. It addresses the clinical challenges in diagnosing glaucoma in highly myopic eyes, noting that myopic characteristics like tilted discs, enlarged optic cups, and myopic retinal degeneration can create structural and functional defects that mimic true glaucomatous damage.
