This book serves as an introductory reference on clinical aspects
of glaucoma and myopia, providing essential guidelines for
diagnosis and monitoring of glaucoma progression in patients,
especially those with high myopias. Many clinical studies are
presented by leading experts in the field in an accessible style,
making the content suitable not only for ophthalmologists but also
for optometrists and certified orthoptists as well as for students.
The relation between myopia and glaucoma has been the subject of
many clinical trials and population-based studies. Most of the data
has suggested that moderate to high myopia is associated with
increased risk of primary open-angle glaucoma, normal tension
glaucoma, and ocular hypertension. There are several factors
involved in the diagnosis of glaucoma, but it is often difficult to
determine the presence of glaucoma in myopic eyes. A myopic eye,
especially in cases of moderate to high myopia, tends to have a
thin retina and choroid and to appear thinner than normal. Even
with new imaging technologies with improved sensitivity and
specificity for detecting glaucoma, each technology presents some
challenges when assessing myopic eyes. This book furnishes an
overview of these diagnostic challenges with reference to the
growing prevalence and severity of myopia in various parts of the
world, providing many valuable hands-on reports and clinical
studies by authoritative authors. This knowledge will help to do
away with the vague area between high myopia and glaucoma faced by
clinicians.
