| Research Abstract |
The lamina cribrosa of glaucoma eyes was proved to be more vertically W-shaped than that of normal eyes by using swept source optical coherence tomography, which indicated that deformation of the lamina causing the glaucomatous optic neuropathy could be observed in vivo. Furthermore, the eyes with temporal scleral protrusion showed visual field defects more than those without. The angle of the scleral protrusion of high myopic eyes was significantly correlated to the RNFL thickness above the protrusion and the visual field severity. These indicate that some of the high myopias are affected by direct scleral compression or stretching at peripapillary region. Deep structural changes in glaucoma and peripapillary scleral changes in high myopia are related to the optic nerve damage.
