Abstract

We evaluated the role of myopia-shaped disc in glacomatous peripapillary atrophy. Out of patients of normal-tension glaucoma, we selected 24 eyes with myopia-shaped disc and 21 eyes without. The optic disc was subjected to image analysis including tomography of the retina. The findings were compared with visual field defects. Eyes with myopia-shaped disc showed greater peripapillary atrophy than those without showing a similar visual field defect. Parameters for peripapillary atrophy were not significantly correlated with visual field indices in eyes with myopia-shaped disc. There is a possibility that glacomatous peripapillary atrophy may have different pathophysiological significances between eyes with or without myopia-shaped disc.
