Implication

Literature review reveals altered ocular perfusion and structural deformation in eyes with myopia and glaucoma, highlighting microvascular dropout as a driver of neural damage.

Key Points

To synthesize current understanding of ocular blood flow mechanisms, anatomical remodeling, and perfusion impairments in eyes affected by both myopia and glaucoma.
Reviewed anatomical interactions between myopia-induced posterior pole remodeling and glaucomatous optic neuropathy.
Assessed hemodynamic data from noninvasive imaging modalities, including optical coherence tomography angiography and laser speckle flowgraphy.
Axial elongation in myopic eyes leads to optic disc tilt, peripapillary deformation, and choroidal thinning that disrupt local vascular architecture.
Imaging demonstrates reduced radial peripapillary capillary density, choroidal microvasculature dropout, and impaired optic nerve head blood flow signal in glaucoma.
Structural deformation and microvascular deficits co-localize with retinal ganglion cell damage, particularly in regions corresponding to the central visual field.
