The geometry of retinal nerve fibers may be altered with myopia, a known risk factor for glaucoma. Recent developments in high resolution imaging have enabled direct visualization of nerve fiber bundles at the temporal raphe with clinical hardware, providing evidence that this area is sensitive to glaucomatous damage. Here, we test the hypothesis that nerve fiber geometry is altered by myopia, both at the temporal raphe and surrounding the optic nerve head.
