A member asked:
How can high myopia be related to secondary glaucoma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: There have been studies that have shown that myopia is a risk factor for developing open angle glaucoma. However, it is important to realize that not everyone who is myopic develops glaucoma. Regular eye examinations can help us detect whether or not you have glaucoma.
