Core Tip
Core Tip: Glaucoma is an irreversible, blinding eye disease with a high clinical incidence that is characterized by loss of visual acuity, optic disc atrophy, and visual field defects. The basic method of glaucoma diagnosis is visual field examination, however, in patients with high myopia, the diagnosis of glaucoma is difficult. optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a high-resolution technique that uses low-coherence light interference to reflect light from biological tissues, allowing visualization of internal structures of the living body via tomographic imaging. The value of OCT measurement of retinal nerve fiber layer and ganglion cell layer thickness in diagnosing glaucoma in patients with high myopia and suspected glaucoma is worthy of development for clinical use.
