PURPOSE To assess the prevalence of glaucoma in patients with high myopia defined as myopic refractive error of >-8 diopters or axial length ≥26.5 mm. METHODS The hospital-based observational study included 172 patients (336 eyes) with a mean age of 61.9±12.3 years and mean axial length of 30.1±2.3 mm (range: 24.7-39.1mm). Glaucomatous-type optic discs were defined by glaucomatous optic disc ...

PURPOSE To compare, clinically and biometrically, affected and fellow acute primary angle-closure (APAC) eyes and glaucomatous eyes with narrow angle (NA). METHODS Comparative case series; 30 patients with APAC and 27 glaucomatous patients with NA were evaluated. Keratometry (K), central corneal thickness (CCT), lens thickness (LT), axial length (AL) and anterior chamber depth (ACD) were meas...

PURPOSE To evaluate the influence of refractive error and axial length (AL) on retinal vascular network geometry measurements in an adult Asian population. METHODS This was a population-based, cross-sectional study on 2882 persons with diabetes in the Singapore Malay Eye Study. Spherical equivalent refraction was assessed using an autokeratorefractometer and subjective refraction. AL retinal ...
