Abstract
Purpose: Characterize and describe glaucoma index parameters of the results of visual exams,
 Optical Coherence Tomography and Visual Field, in high myopic subjects with and without the
 pathology. Method: Cross sectional and observational study of 39 eyes, 15 high myopic with
 glaucoma y 24 high myopic without it. Visual Field (VF) were performed, where the global
 index between both groups were analyzed; Mean Deviation (MD), Model Standard Deviation
 (MSD) and Visual Field Index (VFI), beside Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), in which the
 thickness of the ganglion cells layer (GCL) inside 3 central mm was compared. Results: The
 results were satisfactory, demonstrating different characteristics between the high myopic
 group with glaucoma and without it, both in VF and OCT exams. It was obtained in the VF
 analysis difference in average MD of -4,92 dB + 3,71 (p0,05) and VFI with Friedman Test 10,29 (p>0,05). The statistical OCT
 analysis, when comparing GCL, observed that the Temporary sector (T) had a statistically
 significant decrease (p
