Glaucoma favoring high myopia?

Glaucoma tends to be associated with high myopia.

High myopia is one of the risk factors for glaucoma. Compared with normal people, high myopia has a significantly increased risk of glaucoma. Due to their own myopia, the eye axis becomes longer, the posterior sclera expands, and the sclera structure is reshaped, making the optic nerve lamina of the fundus weaker. Therefore, their tolerance to intraocular pressure is weakened, and they are vulnerable to high intraocular pressure damage. Therefore, the risk of glaucoma will increase. And high myopia is related to heredity, there may be genes related to high myopia and glaucoma in the body, which can lead to glaucoma, so glaucoma prefers high myopia.
