  • Title: Leber's optic atrophy with myopia masquerading as glaucoma: case report.
    Author: Lauer SA, Ackerman J, Sunness J, Bluth EM, Kim CK.
    Journal: Ann Ophthalmol; 1985 Feb; 17(2):146-8. PubMed ID: 3994214.
    Abstract:
    In recent years there has been much discussion in the literature regarding the proper approach to the patient who presents with apparent "low tension" glaucoma. In addition to a complete workup and proper management of such a patient, careful consideration must be given to the differential diagnosis of clinical conditions presenting with optic disc cupping and visual field changes. We present an interesting clinical situation in which a patient with severe myopia and Leber's optic atrophy was referred for surgery for treatment of apparent progressive "low tension" glaucoma.
