Purpose: To investigate the effects of intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction on the eyeball shape in highly myopic eyes with high IOP. Methods: This study included patients with an axial length ?26.5 mm and high IOP ?22 mmHg after receiving maximum medication, with successful trabeculectomy by a single surgeon, and who underwent swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) examinations on preoperative and postoperative ?3 months periods. Eight eyes of 7 patients were included in the analysis. The morphological changes in the eyeball that occurred pre- and post-operation were analyzed from the SS-OCT images. Results: In 6 out of 8 examined eyes, the following apparent morphological changes in the posterior pole and/or peripapillary sclera were postoperatively detected on SS-OCT images: peripapillary scleral shrinkage, decrease in the lamina cribrosa depth, flattening of the peripapillary scleral insertion into the optic disc, decrease in the angle of the scleral protrusion temporal to the optic disc, and inhomogeneous change in scleral curvature of the posterior pole. Conclusions and importance: We found that the shape of some eyes with high myopia and high IOP changed owing to the decrease in IOP. Eyeball deformities may be affected by high IOP, and IOP reduction might reduce scleral deformation in highly myopic eyes with high IOP.
