“…A study from Korea found a positive trend between increased myopic refractive error and POAG prevalence ( 70 ). Recently, a meta-analysis by Ahnul Ha et al corroborated this finding: every diopter in myopia increases the risk of glaucoma by ~20% ( 71 ). Thus, high myopia is now regarded as a risk factor for glaucoma ( 72 – 74 ).…”

Background:Myopia is one of the most common causes of vision impairment in children and adults and has become a public health priority with its growing prevalence worldwide. This study aims to identify and evaluate the global trends in myopia research of the past century and visualize the frontiers using bibliometric analysis.MethodsThe literature search was conducted on the Web of Science for myopia studies published between 1900 and 2020. Retrieved publications were analyzed in-depth by the annual publication number, prolific countries and institutions, core author and journal, and the number of citations through descriptive statistics. Collaboration networks and keywords burst were visualized by VOSviewer and CiteSpace. Myopia citation network was visualized using CitNetExplorer.ResultsIn total, 11,172 publications on myopia were retrieved from 1900 to 2020, with most published by the United States. Saw SM, from the National University of Singapore, contributed the most publications and citations. Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science was the journal with highest number of citations. Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery with the maximum number of publications. The top 10 cited papers mainly focused on the epidemiology of myopia. Previous research emphasized myopia-associated experimental animal models, while recent keywords include “SMILE” and “myopia control” with the stronger burst, indicating a shift of concern from etiology to therapy and coincided with the global increment of incidence. Document citation network was clustered into six groups: “prevalence and risk factors of myopia,” “surgical control of myopia,” “pathogenesis of myopia,” “optical interventions of myopia,” “myopia and glaucoma,” and “pathological myopia.”ConclusionsBibliometrics analysis in this study could help scholars comprehend global trends of myopia research frontiers better. Hundred years of myopia research were clustered into six groups, among which “prevalence and risk factors of myopia” and “surgical control of myopia” were the largest groups. With the increasing prevalence of myopia, interventions of myopia control are a potential research hotspot and pressing public health issue.

“…Diabetes mellitus has already been suggested to increase the risk of OAG [21,22], because higher serum glucose levels are associated with high intraocular pressure, which is thought to result in optic nerve damage [23]. Myopia, especially high myopia, has been reported as a major risk factor for OAG [24,25]. This is further supported by the Tajimi study conducted in Japan, which also showed an association between myopia and glaucoma [4].…”

Background: The association between statins and open-angle glaucoma (OAG) remains controversial. Aim: This study investigated the relationship between statins and OAG in Japanese patients with dyslipidemia using the Japanese administrative claims database. Methods: A nested case–control study using two models was conducted using the JMDC claims database (01/2005–01/2020). The onset of OAG: index date was defined as the diagnosis of glaucoma, prescription of anti-glaucoma drugs, or surgery of glaucoma. For each case, 10 age-, sex-, and calendar year/month-matched controls were randomly selected from the risk sets. The number of statin prescriptions during the exposure period, which was identified as the12-month (model 1) or 24-month (model 2) periods prior to the index date, was used as an indicator for statin exposure. Adjusted odds ratios (aORs) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were estimated using multivariable conditional logistic regression analyses. Results: We identified 378,494 patients with newly diagnosed dyslipidemia. Of them, 6,281 cases and 62,804 controls (model 1) and 4,229 cases and 42,284 controls (model 2) were selected. Significant risk factors commonly identified in the two models were diabetes mellitus, myopia, and steroid use. Statin use was not identified as a significant risk factor for OAG (model 1: aOR 0.99, 95% CI 0.94–1.05, model 2: aOR 0.96, 95% CI 0.90–1.03). Conclusion: Compared with non-exposure, short-term exposure (<2 years) to statins was not related to increased risk of OAG in Japanese working-age population with dyslipidemia.

“…Ha et al assessed the association between myopia and open-angle glaucoma risk by dose-response meta-analysis and reported that the risk of glaucoma increased more steeply with decreasing spherical equivalent from approximately −6 diopters, and increased more steeply from −8 diopters [ 20 ]. The majority of epidemiological studies used in the meta-analysis were not analyzed by OCT, and glaucomatous optic atrophy was determined based on fundus photographs and visual field testing.…”

Characteristics of pigmentary glaucoma in Japanese individuals

et al. 2022

Purpose Myopia is a known risk factor of pigmentary glaucoma (PG), and the increased prevalence of myopia in Asian countries indicates that more cases of PG will likely develop soon. However, there are no diagnostic criteria for PG for Asians. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the characteristics of PG in Japanese individuals and establish three diagnostic signs for PG. Methods This was a single-center, retrospective, case series study of glaucoma patients who visited the Kagoshima University Hospital between January 2015 and January 2020. The inclusion criteria were age <50 years at time of diagnosis and presence of pigmentation in the anterior chamber (AC) angle including a Sampaolesi line. Eyes with pigmentation of the AC angle caused by other types of glaucoma such as uveitis, trauma, exfoliation, or childhood glaucoma were excluded. We investigated the classic diagnostic triad of signs of PG; posterior corneal pigmentation, mid peripheral iris transillumination defect, and pigmentation of the trabecular meshwork. We also examined the Sampaolesi line, iris concavity, and midperipheral iris depigmentation in eyes with PG. Results Ten eyes of 5 Japanese men and 10 eyes of 5 Japanese women were studied. Their age ranged from 13 to 46 years at the time of diagnosis. One eye had posterior corneal pigmentation and 6 eyes had pigmentation of the trabecular meshwork. None had mid peripheral iris transillumination defect. The Sampaolesi line, iris concavity, and midperipheral iris depigmentation were found in all patients except one patient who lacked the mid peripheral depigmentation. Two eyes had the pigment reversal sign, none had lens pigmentation, and 2 eyes had peripheral retinal degeneration. Conclusion The presence of the Sampaolesi line, iris concavity, and midperipheral iris depigmentation may be appropriate signs for the diagnosis of PG in Asians.
