[Clinical analysis of 11 patients with high myopia and angle closure].
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the pathogenesis and treatment of high myopia in patients with angle-closure glaucoma.


METHODS
Clinic data of 692 patients with angle closure glaucoma were analyzed retrospectively. Eleven patients with high myopia and angle closure underwent surgery.


RESULTS
Eleven patients with high myopia in the 692 angle-closure glaucoma were identified: 3 Weill-Marchesani syndrome, 1 plateau iris configuration and syndrome, 5 primary pupillary block, and 2 iris cyst. Intraocular pressure in 19 eyes of the 11 patients was successfully controlled after receiving phaco or filtering surgery.


CONCLUSIONS
Angle closure can occur in eyes with high myopia, and pupillary block may be the main cause of angle closure.
