Clarifying the pathophysiology of myopic optic neuropathy (MON) and its relationship to glaucomatous optic neuropathy (GON).
Conducted a narrative review based on a PubMed search.
Analyzed 234 relevant publications regarding MON and GON.
Focused on structural risk factors and their effects on visual fields.
Identified signs of increased vulnerability in myopic eyes like large optic discs and thin lamina cribrosa.
Noted slow progression of visual field defects in myopic glaucoma patients despite structural risks.
Proposed that MON stabilizes with aging and contributes to central visual field defects.
