Vertical disc tilt and features of the optic nerve head anatomy are related to visual field defect in myopic eyes.

ABSTRACT: Myopia is significantly growing eye disease which accompanies various ocular pathologies including glaucoma. Understanding visual field (VF) and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) damage observed in myopic eyes is important. Therefore, we evaluated optic disc margin anatomy using spectral-domain (SD) optical coherence tomography (OCT). We enrolled 40 healthy myopic patients and 64 myopic patients with RNFL defects in the superonasal region of the optic disc on red-free photographs and OCT. Optic disc stereophotographs were co-localized to SD-OCT images, and we analyzed the frequency with which the disc margin identified in photographs coincided with Bruch's membrane (BM) opening, BM/border tissue, or border tissue. For each scan, the presence of border tissue overhang beyond the clinical dis
