This study reports for the first time that eyes with high myopia have a larger Schlemm's canal diameter and area, as well as decreased trabecular meshwork thickness, which may help to understand the close association between high myopia and open-angle glaucoma. Schlemm's canal and trabecular meshwork analysis by OCT images may help to characterise the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms involved in high myopia.
