Table 1.
Clinical characteristics of myopic primary open angle glaucoma patients with and without optic disc hemorrhage.
Fig 1.
Kaplan–Meier analysis of estimated probability of optic disc/retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) non-progression in patients with disc hemorrhage (DH) versus those without DH.
The cumulative probability of optic disc/RNFL non-progression (10-year survival rate: 0.44 ± 0.01) was significantly lower in the DH group than in the non-DH group (10-year survival rate: 0.47 ± 0.12) (P = 0.001, log rank test).
Fig 2.
Kaplan–Meier analysis of probability of maintained non-deterioration of visual field (VF) in patients with disc hemorrhage (DH) and in those without DH.
The cumulative probability of non-progression of VF (10-year survival rate: 0.40 ± 0.12) was statistically equivalent between the DH and non-DH groups (10-year survival rate: 0.41 ± 0.15) (P = 0.79, log rank test).
Fig 3.
Representative case of disc hemorrhage (DH) in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) with mild-to-moderate myopia.
The first row contains stereo disc photographs (SDPs) showing recurrent DH in inferotemporal optic disc region (between 2006 and 2010) and subsequent neuroretinal rim thinning. The second row contains red-free retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) photography representing gradual enlargement of RNFL defect 3.8 years after initial clinical detection of DH (in 2010). The last row shows visual field progression manifested 9.0 years following the initial DH (in 2015).
