The Role of Intraocular Pressure in Peripapillary RNFL Thickness Changes in Healthy Myopic Eyes

Eram Riyaz

The peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) is a vital structure in the eye, responsible for transmitting visual information from the retina to the brain. In myopic eyes, which have an elongated axial length, the RNFL is particularly vulnerable to structural changes. Intraocular pressure (IOP) has long been recognized as a crucial factor influencing optic nerve health. This article explores the relationship between IOP and peripapillary RNFL thickness changes in healthy myopic eyes, shedding light on the clinical implications and potential avenues for future research.
