High myopia (HM) is a significant risk factor for the occurrence and progression of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). Identification with POAG in the HM population is an emergent challenge. Patients with HM have a significantly higher probability of complicating POAG than those without HM. When HM is associated with POAG, the changes to the fundus caused by both of them are confused with each other, making the diagnosis of early glaucoma difficult. This article reviews available researches on HM with POAG, summarizing the characteristics of the fundus structure such as epidemiology, intraocular pressure, optic disc, ganglion cell layer, retinal nerve fiber layer, vascular density, and visual field.
