Histomorphometry of the optic disc in highly myopic eyes with absolute secondary angle closure glaucoma

Table 2

Histomorphometric measurements of the highly myopic group (eyes with absolute secondary angle closure glaucoma and an axial length >26 mm) compared with the non-highly myopic group (eyes with absolute secondary angle closure glaucoma and an axial length <26 mm) (mean (SD)

Highly myopic group Non-highly myopic group p Value
Intrapapillary region:
Optic disc diameter (mm) 2.33 (0.55) 1.77 (0.50) 0.01
Optic cup depth (mm) measured:
From the uveoscleral interface 0.20 (0.19) 0.34 (0.21) 0.09
 From Bruch’s membrane 0.24 (0.20) 0.41 (0.21) 0.08
 From retinal surface 0.34 (0.29) 0.63 (0.23) 0.03
Parapapillary region:
