Myopia is one of the most common ocular abnormalities reported worldwide and its association with glaucoma is well recognized. The risk of developing glaucoma is two to three times higher in myopic individuals than in non-myopic individuals, and this risk is independent of other risk factors for glaucoma. Currently, glaucoma is diagnosed by considering the appearance of the optic disc, retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and by standard achromatic perimetry. However, myopic individuals often have enlarged optic discs with a more oval configuration and larger areas of peripapillary atrophy. Because of these features, glaucomatous changes cannot be easily interpreted in myopic discs, possibly leading to a misdiagnosis of glaucoma
