Dolzhich GI; Shlyk IV; Dolzhich RRVestnik Oftalmologii 1999; 115:3-6
Examinations of 88 glaucoma patients with high myopia showed three variants of glaucoma: (1) mixed form with combination of nuclear cataract and lenticular myopia; (2) open-angle form with ischemic background cerebral circulation (ocular circulation deficiency combined with a decrease in linear velocity of the blood flow in the intracranial collateral cerebral circulation: to 21.8% in the anterior cerebral artery, to 26.1% in the middle cerebral artery, and to cerebral artery (by 8.3%) and in the orbital artery (by 4.2%). Clinical values indicate impeded venous outflow. Differential diagnostic signs of glaucoma in high myopia are defined. LA: Russian
