Popis: PReCIS:: Disc tilt is a characteristic of high myopia and related to lower wedge-shaped retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) defects in normal-tension glaucoma (NTG). In primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), the direction of disc torsion corresponds to the location of wedge-shaped RNFL defects. PURPOSE To evaluate the disc characteristics in high myopia and the relationships between disc tilt and torsion and the location of wedge-shaped RNFL defects in primary POAG and NTG. MATERIALS AND METHODS The differences in disc properties and clinical characteristics between POAG (n=53) and NTG (n=82), and between high myopic (
