Abstract:High myopia combined with primary open angle glaucoma is an increasingly concerned and complex disease in ophthalmology, and its pathogenesis is closely associated with multiple alterations in structural parameters of the lamina cribrosa. As the main supportive structure of the optic nerve, the lamina cribrosa plays an important role in pathophysiology of glaucoma through parameters including curvature, depth, defects, and thickness. Meanwhile, fundus alterations induced by high myopia may obscure typical glaucomatous features. Current research on the relationship between lamina cribrosa parameters and high myopia combined with primary open angle glaucoma still have certain limitations, particularly in terms of mechanism exploration and clinical application. Through systematically reviewing the relevant literature, this article aims to summarize the latest research advances on lamina cribrosa parameters in high myopia combined with primary open angle glaucoma, with a focus on discussing the potential and current limitations of these parameters as biomarkers for early diagnosis and prognosis assessment.
