Glaucoma is not one disease there are more than a dozen types of
glaucoma. In infantile or juvenile glaucoma present at birth or early in life, elevated IOP can lead to longer axial length due to the soft, stretchable sclera "Ox Eye". However in adult glaucoma IOP does not lead to longer axial. The factors associated with high myopia include premature birth or low birth weight, heredity, racial characteristics, prolonged near work, not going outdoors often as youth.
