Objective : With our study, we intend to carry out an assessment of the influence of myopia, at the level of the retina and optic nerve, in patients diagnosed with open-angle glaucoma comparing groups of healthy patients, with myopia, with glaucoma, and with myopia and glaucoma together to identify the structural changes with the OCT Spectralis and the “Glaucoma Premium” program. Material and methods: This is an observational analytical cohort study carried out on a total of 160 patients, divided into 4 groups: Healthy, with myopia, with Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma (POAG), and with POAG and myopia together. The study variables were Bruch's Membrane Opening area (BMO), the thickness of the RNFL and the Retinal Ganglion Cell (RGC) layer using the Glaucoma Premium program of the OCT Spectralis of Heidelberg.
