ABSTRACT
The correlation between biomechanical properties of the corneoscleral tunic and stereometric parameters of the optic nerve head in children and adolescents with congenital and acquired myopia has been studied comparatively. The results showed that in children with high myopia, congenital or acquired, the corneoscleral parameters (scleral echodensity at the equator and the posterior pole, corneoscleral hysteresis, cornea resistance factor, and ocular rigidity coefficient) are lower than those in emmetropes. Moreover, the corneoscleral biomechanical characteristics affect the optic nerve head parameters. This fact has to be taken into account when examining adults with high myopia for the purpose of early diagnostics of glaucoma.
