Temporal Protrusion of the Optic Disc Implicated in Central Visual Field Abnormalities in High Myopia: Two Case Reports.

Introduction: Severe central visual field defects are frequently observed in highly myopic eyes. This report details 2 cases of central visual field defects in individuals with high myopia, characterized by an unusual temporal protrusion of the optic disc, a feature not previously documented.

Case Presentation: Two patients, a 54-year-old man and a 65-year-old woman, were diagnosed with high myopia in their left eyes, displaying an outward protrusion of the optic disc toward the macula.

Intraocular pressure-lowering effects of ripasudil on open-angle glaucoma in eyes with high myopia and pathological myopia.

The aim is to study the intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering effects of additional administration of ripasudil in open-angle glaucoma (OAG) patients including high myopia (HM) and pathological myopia (PM). Study design is retrospective cohort study. We assessed the changes in the mean IOP between the HM eyes (axial length ≧ 26.

Outcomes of standalone ab interno trabeculotomy in the treatment of open-angle glaucoma in eyes with high myopia.

Background: We retrospectively evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of trabeculotomy glaucoma surgery in treating open-angle glaucoma (OAG) in eyes with high myopia (HM).

Methods: This study included 20 eyes with HM (axial length ≥ 26.5 mm) and OAG; age, preoperative IOP (intraocular pressure), and sex-matched 20 non-HM eyes (axial length < 26.

Association between peripheral visual field defects and focal lamina cribrosa defects in highly myopic eyes.

Purpose: We aimed to identify peripheral visual field (VF) defect pathogenesis in high myopia using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and microperimetry and to investigate the association between focal lamina cribrosa defects (fLCDs) and high myopia-specific peripheral visual field defects (HM-pVFDs).

Study Design: Retrospective case-control study.

Methods: Thirty-five highly myopic patients (refractive error ≥ 8.

Validation of Soft Labels in Developing Deep Learning Algorithms for Detecting Lesions of Myopic Maculopathy From Optical Coherence Tomographic Images.

Purpose: It is common for physicians to be uncertain when examining some images. Models trained with human uncertainty could be a help for physicians in diagnosing pathologic myopia.

Design: This is a hospital-based study that included 9176 images from 1327 patients that were collected between October 2015 and March 2019.
