I have -15 diopters, I am 30 years old.
I heard that it is almost impossible to diagnose early glaucoma in severely myopic eyes, because the fundus looks very alike as in early glaucoma.
What tests should I do to monitor glaucoma onset? GDX,HRT all are useless in my case,the optic nerve in extreme myopia is different than in healthy eyes.
I have no family history of glaucoma, my intraocular pressure is rarely higher than 14, never extended 20.Last time it was 12.
Still, my doctor is worried that the early onset of glaucoma could go unnoticed in my case.
Recently I had entire visual field test and I have to say there are some losses in my whole peripheral vision,from every side. Not dramatic losses (no black spots,only grey), but I can see this loss as ''noisy '', a little darkened vision in this areas. There is no central damage, only the blind spot is huge (peripapillary atrophy). Are these kind of visual field losses (deterioration of peripheral vision) perfectly normal in severely myopic eyes? Should I worry?
Please help
