High myopia worsens central vision loss in advanced open-angle glaucoma (OAG) with high intraocular pressure (IOP). Myopic refraction impacts visual field defects differently in primary OAG versus normal-tension glaucoma (NTG).

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Optometry
  • Clinical Science

Background:

  • Advanced open-angle glaucoma (OAG) can lead to significant visual field defects.
  • Understanding factors influencing visual field loss is crucial for managing glaucoma patients.
  • Myopic refraction is a common refractive error that may interact with glaucoma progression.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effect of myopic refraction on the central visual field in patients with advanced open-angle glaucoma (OAG).
  • To differentiate the impact of refraction on visual field defects between primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and normal-tension glaucoma (NTG).

Main Methods:

  • Multicenter cross-sectional study involving 313 OAG eyes (176 POAG, 137 NTG) with mean deviation (MD) <-15 dB.
  • Multiple regression and logistic discriminant analyses were used to assess the influence of spherical equivalent refraction on visual field test points.

  • Total deviation (TD) values of 12 central test points were analyzed in relation to MD and refraction.

    • Main Results:

    • Higher myopia was associated with more damage temporal/inferior to fixation in POAG eyes.
    • Higher myopia was linked to less damage temporal/superior to fixation in NTG eyes.
    • After adjusting for refraction, POAG eyes showed more damage temporal/inferior, while NTG eyes showed more damage nasal/inferior to fixation.

    Conclusions:

    • High myopia poses a threat to the cecocentral visual field in advanced OAG with high intraocular pressure.
    • Refraction significantly influences the pattern of visual field defects in OAG, with differing effects in POAG and NTG.
    • Myopic refraction is a factor that can interfere with visual quality in advanced OAG, particularly in eyes with elevated IOP.
