Abstract
Among many suggestive risk factors for the development of open angle glaucoma, myopia is a common clinical entitiy and seems to be increasing today. The authors analysed the prevalence of myopia in patients with open angle glaucoma and compared with normal population of similar age. The results were as follows 1. Fifty-one eyes(82.3%) with POAG, seventy eyes(74.5%) with LTG and thirty-five eyes(87.5%) with OHT were myopia. 2. The percentage of myopia in eyes with POAG, LTG and OHT was greater than that of reported in a normal population of similar age(32.2%). Especially, the percentage of myopia greater than -3.0 diopter among myopias was 52.9% in POAG, 30.0% in LTG, 48.6% in OHT and only 17.3% in normal control groups.
