Optic disc and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer characteristics associated with glaucomatous optic disc in young myopia.

Optic disc tilt was found in approximately one-third of young myopic eyes and was independently associated with the presence of GOD.

Topographic Relationship Between Optic Disc Torsion and ß-Zone Peripapillary Atrophy in the Myopic Eyes of Young Patients With Glaucomatous-appearing Visual Field Defects.

ODT direction showed a significant association with the locations of β-PPA and PMRE of β-PPA. Torsional degree was correlated with the β-PPA angle in the myopic eyes of young patients with glaucomatous-appearing VFDs.

Patterns of Damage in Young Myopic Glaucomatous-appearing Patients With Different Optic Disc Tilt Direction.

The disc tilt direction may be related to asymmetrical pRNFL loss and the location and gravity of VF loss at initial presentation in young myopic glaucomatous-appearing patients.

Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Damage in Young Myopic Eyes With Optic Disc Torsion and Glaucomatous Hemifield Defect.

Young myopic eyes with ODT and hemifield VF loss often show glaucomatous RNFL defects at both hemiretinas and significantly lower pRNFLT in the ODT-unaffected hemiretinas compared with matched hemiretinas of control eyes.

Progression of primary open angle glaucoma in asymmetrically myopic eyes.

The degree of myopia was not associated with glaucoma progression when assessing the same patient using either the VF or optic disc/RNFL criteria in asymmetrically myopic patients.

Implications of Optic Disc Tilt in the Progression of Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma.

Myopic eyes with tilted disc demonstrated a smaller probability of glaucomatous progression. Optic disc tilt may be protective against glaucoma progression, or tilted myopic glaucomatous eyes may have less progressive characteristic by nature.
