Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the changes in retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness according to the degree of myopia in patients with glaucoma and ocular hypertension. Methods: Ninety-eight patients (165 eyes) diagnosed with glaucoma or ocular hypertension underwent optical coherence tomography (OCT) and scanning laser polarimetry using variable corneal compensation (GDx-VCC) to analyze the correlation between the degree of myopia and the thickness of the RNFL. A partial correlation coefficient analysis was performed to adjust for various factors such as age, laterality, intraocular pressure, and the mean deviation from visual field test, which can influence the RNFL thickness. Results: The average, nasal, superior, and inferior sectorial RNFL thicknesses measured by OCT significantly decreased with increasing myopia (p
