Zhu TY; Liu KChinese Journal of Ophthalmology 2023; 59: 757-763
Myopia and glaucoma are two common ocular diseases that pose significant health and economic burdens to patients, their families, and society. In recent years, the relationship between these two conditions has become a prominent research focus. This article provides a systematic review of the current research progress on the association between myopia and glaucoma, with a primary emphasis on discussing the two major viewpoints: myopia as a risk factor for glaucoma development and the multifaceted impact of myopia on glaucoma progression. Possible mechanisms and potential clinical biomarkers are outlined, and the academic community's complementary insights and doubts regarding these viewpoints are summarized. Additionally, unresolved issues in existing studies are identified to pave the way for future scientific explorations, aiming to further elucidate the relationship between myopia and glaucoma and optimize the clinical diagnosis and management of glaucoma.
