Purpose: To demonstrate the visual field defects characteristic of high myopic glaucoma eyes.
Methods: Eighty-one high myopic glaucoma eyes (< or = -8 diopter(D)) and eighty moderate myopic glaucoma eyes(-3 D approximately -6 D) from patients under the age of 60 were enrolled in this study. Visual acuity, Mean Deviation (MD) of Humphrey visual field analyzer (HFA) central 30-2 program, and the pattern of central visual field defect especially at the early stage of glaucoma (MD > or = -10 dB) were compared between high and moderate myopic groups.
Results: HFA examination revealed significant differences in MD values between the high and moderate myopic groups (-11.8 +/- 8.9 dB and -8.4 +/- 6.9 dB, respectively, p = 0.02). Average logMAR visual acuity of the high myopic group was significantly worse than that of the moderate myopic group. The analyses of the pattern of visual field defects especially at an early glaucoma stage demonstrated that there was no specifically damaged area, such as cecocentral scotoma, in high myopic glaucoma subjects. The nasal upper area of the fixation point was the area most affected in both groups.
Conclusions: High myopic glaucoma eyes demonstrated significantly lower MD and visual acuity compared to those of moderate myopic glaucoma eyes. However, at an early stage of glaucoma, no visual field defect characteristic of high myopia was observed.

Here, we describe a rare case of drug-induced unilateral ciliary body effusion precipitated by topical brinzolamide, presenting acutely with pain, angle closure and myopic shift.Ciliary body effusion was suspected clinically and confirmed by ultrasound biomicroscopy. Brinzolamide was ceased, atropine instilled and the ciliary body effusion promptly resolved without need for further treatment.

State Key Laboratory of Ophthalmology, Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Ophthalmology and Visual Science, Guangdong Provincial Clinical Research Center for Ocular Diseases, Guangzhou 510623, China. Electronic address:
Purpose: To describe the longitudinal changes in peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) and macular ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (mGC-IPL) thicknesses in highly myopic eyes with and without glaucoma, and to investigate the effects of high myopia (HM) on the sectoral patterns of pRNFL and mGC-IPL thinning.
Design: Longitudinal cohort study.
Participants: A total of 243 eyes from 243 individuals with 3-year follow-up were included in this study: 109 eyes in the HM group, 64 eyes in the open-angle glaucoma (OAG) group and 70 eyes in the highly myopic glaucoma (HMG) group.

Purpose: Laser photocoagulation (LPC) has been a traditional treatment for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). However, intravitreal anti-VEGF agents such as bevacizumab and ranibizumab (IVR) have also been increasingly used. This meta-analysis aims to rigorously compare IVR to LPC in the treatment of ROP.

Purpose: To describe the clinical characteristics of glaucoma-related adverse events (GRAE) after pediatric cataract surgery. More importantly, to identify the factors associated with the time of GRAE onset and the preferred anti-glaucomatous surgical procedure for this disease.
Methods: Hospitalized medical records of patients who developed GRAE, which include glaucoma and glaucoma suspect, after pediatric cataract surgery (surgical age ≤ 14 years) between 1994 and 2021 were retrospectively reviewed.
