Scheimpflug-Based Corneal Biomechanical Analysis As A Predictor of Glaucoma in Eyes With High Myopia.

Purpose: To address if corneal biomechanical behavior has a predictive value for the presence of glaucomatous optical neuropathy in eyes with high myopia.

Patients And Methods: This observational cross-sectional study included 209 eyes from 108 consecutive patients, divided into four groups: high myopia and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) - HMG, n = 53; high myopia without POAG - HMNG, n = 53; non-myopic with POAG - POAG, n = 50; non-myopic and non-POAG- NMNG, n = 53. Biomechanical assessment was made through a Scheimpflug-camera-based technology.
