Long-Term Prediction and Risk Factors for Incident Visual Field Defect in Nonpathologic High Myopia.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To investigate the long-term patterns and risk factors of visual field defect (VFD) development in nonpathologic high myopia (HM) over an 8-year follow-up.

Methods

This was an observational cohort study. The VFD classification adhered to the Glaucoma Suspects with High Myopia Study Group. Logistic regression models with generalized estimating equations were used to identify risk factors for VFD development.

Results

A total of 330 eyes from 194 patients were included. Among them, 49.4% of eyes developed VFD, with enlarged blind spot and nonspecific defect ranked as the most common VFDs, followed by partial arcuate defect, vertical step, nasal step, paracentral defect, and combined defects. Longer axial length (odds ratio [OR] = 1.43 per 1-mm increase; 95% CI, 1
