Abstract

Myopia, which has a rapid increase in its prevalence recently, is considered to be one of the most common causes of low vision and legal blindness due to its associated complications. Glaucoma is one of these diseases linked with myopia. Although the relationship between myopia and glaucoma is still unclear, it is suggested that patients with high myopia and glaucoma displays similar scleral collagen features and hypersensitive response to glucocorticoids. In this review, the association between these two entities is investigated thoroughly from the perspectives of epidemiology, pathogenetic mechanisms, clinical manifestations and differential diagnosis.

Özet

Günümüzde prevalansında hızlı bir artış görülen miyopi, beraberinde eşlik eden komplikasyonlar nedeniyle düşük görmenin ve yasal körlüğün ana nedenlerinden biri olarak kabul edilmektedir. Miyopi ile birlikte görülen hastalıklardan biri de glokomdur. Miyopi ve glokom arasındaki ilişki halen kesin olarak açıklanamamış olsa da, yüksek miyop ve açık açılı glokom hastalarının, benzer skleral kollajen özelliklerini paylaştığı ve glukokortikoidlere benzer hipersensitif yanıtlar gösterdikleri düşünülmektedir. Bu derlemede, miyopi ve glokom arasındaki ilişki epidemiyoloji, patogenetik mekanizmalar, klinik özellikler ve ayırıcı tanı açısından irdelenmiştir.
