The temporal shift of superior and inferior peaks, the thickening of temporal and nasal RNFL, the presence of tilted optic disc, and optic disc rotation may cause misinterpretation of the RNFL in myopic Caucasians. When evaluating peripapillary RNFL thickness in myopic individuals, it would be better to consider these to avoid misinterpretation.
