About
Vitamin D deficiency is known to be significantly associated with high myopia. This study investigated the vitamin D status in patients with high myopia and primary open-angle glaucoma, in order to understand the relationship between high myopia and the development of primary open-angle glaucoma.110 primary open-angle glaucoma patients, 110 high myopia patients and 110 age-matched people in the Han population were enrolled. Serum levels of 1a, 25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 were measured by an enzyme-linked immuno-absorbent assay.Vitamin D receptor polymorphic analysis was studied by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism technique.

-primary open-angle glaucoma (1) intraocular pressure above 21 mmHg or more in each eye without therapy; (2) wide anterior chamber angle; (3)glaucomatous optic neuropathy (Glaucomatous optic nerve damage was defined as cup-to-disc ratio higher than 0.7 or focal loss of the nerve fiber layer (notch) associated with a consistent glaucomatous visual field defect in at least one eye;(4) visual field loss consistent with optic nerve damage and visual fields were performed by using standard automated perimetry in at least one eye.
c(with refractive error >6D) were recruited.
Exclusion criteria
High myopia patients with ocular disease such as glaucoma, a history of administration of vitamin D3 or other analog or a history of retinopathy or connective tissue disorders associated with myopia, such as Stickler or Marfan syndromes, were not included.
