Objective:
To investigate the pathogenesis and treatment of high myopia in patients with angle-closure glaucoma.
Methods:
Clinic data of 692 patients with angle closure glaucoma were analyzed retrospectively. Eleven patients with high myopia and angle closure underwent surgery.
Results:
Eleven patients with high myopia in the 692 angle-closure glaucoma were identified: 3 Weill-Marchesani syndrome, 1 plateau iris configuration and syndrome, 5 primary pupillary block, and 2 iris cyst. Intraocular pressure in 19 eyes of the 11 patients was successfully controlled after receiving phaco or filtering surgery.
Conclusion:
Angle closure can occur in eyes with high myopia, and pupillary block may be the main cause of angle closure.
