Description
Naoki Takahashi and co-authors review how blood flow in the eye changes when myopia and glaucoma occur together, in a review from 2026. Nearsightedness is spreading worldwide, and eyes that stretch longer also reshape at the back. That warping tilts the optic disc, thins the choroid, and shifts how vessels feed the nerve head.
New scans let doctors watch retinal and optic nerve flow without invasive tests. In glaucomatous eyes, these scans show sparser tiny vessels around the disc and lower flow signals in nerve tissue. Where the two diseases meet, flow loss lines up by sector with nerve damage, above all near the center of vision. Drugs that aid flow are discussed, though proof beyond lowering eye pressure stays thin.
