Primary open angle glaucoma is one of the leading causes of irreversible but preventable blindness in the population above the age of 40 years. This study was conducted to find out correlation between high myopia and primary open glaucoma with a view to ascertain whether high myopic (>-9 D) patients above the age of 40 years were at a higher risk of developing primary open angle glaucoma (POAG).
The present study was carried out on 84 eyes of 53 high myopic patients. It was found that there was a definite correlation between high myopia and primary open angle glaucoma patients. The incidence of primary open angle glaucoma was 19.05 %, whereas in glaucoma suspect cases, it was 13.09 %. The incidence of primary open angle glaucoma was clearly associated with refractive state and increased gradually with the increase in severity of myopia. We also found a significant correlation between mean axial lengths&mean intraocular pressure and correlation between mean axial length&mean cup disc ratio of all myopic eyes. The gross appearance of the highly myopic eyes was oval or egg shaped, it was enlarged, but the elongation of the eyes was almost entirely confined to the posterior pole, the anterior half of the globe was usually normal.

Despite high success rate of Refractive surgeries, contact lenses still continue to be good modality to overcome low vision due to refractive error. But along with the ease to use and disinfecting, the same continue to pose a challenge for an ophthalmologist when it comes to its complications. Long term wearing of contact lenses can involve not only the cornea but also the conjunctiva, and lids which in turn can lead not only to mild visual blurring but also permanent blindness if not detected at an early stage. The present study was conducted on 250 contact lens wearers and they were evaluated to determine the types and incidence of complications associated with prolonged use of contact lenses.Keywords
