Myopia and Glaucoma (2015) Kazuhisa Sugiyama

Description

This book explores the association between myopia (specifically moderate to high) and the increased risk of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and normal-tension glaucoma (NTG). It addresses the significant clinical challenge of diagnosing glaucoma in highly myopic eyes, where structural characteristics like tilted discs and large cup-to-disc ratios, as well as visual field defects caused by myopic retinal degeneration, can mimic glaucomatous changes.
