Methods: One hundred and twenty eyes were included, and AST at 0, 1, 2 and 3 mm from the scleral spur, SCD, TMD and CTT were measured. Results: Mean age was 64.2 \u00b1 11.0 years, and the temporal SCD and temporal TMD were significantly longer in the HMG subjects compared to the controls (380.0 \u00b1 62 \u03bcm vs. 316.7 \u00b1 72 \u03bcm, p = 0.001) and (637.6 \u00b1 113 \u03bcm vs. 512.1 \u00b1 97 \u03bcm, p = 0.000), respectively. There were no significant differences between the HM and HMG subjects in SCD and TMD (all p &gt; 0.025). Compared to the HM subjects, the temporal AST0 (432.5 \u00b1 79 \u03bcm vs. 532.8 \u00b1 99 \u03bcm, p = 0.000), temporal AST1 (383.9 \u00b1 64 \u03bcm vs. 460.5 \u00b1 80 \u03bcm, p = 0.000), temporal AST2 (404.0 \u00b1 68 \u03bcm vs. 464.0 \u00b1 88 \u03bcm, p = 0.006) and temporal AST3 (403.0 \u00b1 80 \u03bcm vs. 458.1 \u00b1 91 \u03bcm, p = 0.014) were significantly thinner in the HMG group. No differences were found between the CTT in the three groups (all p &gt; 0.025). Conclusions: Our data indicate a thinner AST in HMG subjects and no differences in SCD and TMD between HM and HMG subjects.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics14060655","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,20]],"date-time":"2024-03-20T13:09:36Z","timestamp":1710940176000},"page":"655","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Anterior Scleral Thickness and Anterior Segment Biometrics Measured with Swept Source Ocular Coherence Tomography in High Myopic Eyes with and without Glaucoma: A Comparative Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Bachar","family":"Kudsieh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, University Hospital Puerta De Hierro Majadahonda, 28220 Madrid, Spain"},{"name":"Centro Internacional de Oftalmologia Avanzada, 28010 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rocio","family":"Vega-Gonz\u00e1lez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, University Hospital Puerta De Hierro Majadahonda, 28220 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sofia","family":"Bryan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, University Hospital Puerta De Hierro Majadahonda, 28220 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elena","family":"Almazan-Alonso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, University Hospital Puerta De Hierro Majadahonda, 28220 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5557-6822","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mariluz","family":"Puertas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, University Hospital Puerta De Hierro Majadahonda, 28220 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lucia","family":"Guti\u00e9rrez-Martin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, University Hospital Puerta De Hierro Majadahonda, 28220 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4236-514X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ignacio","family":"Flores-Moreno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, University Hospital Puerta De Hierro Majadahonda, 28220 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1105-9265","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jorge","family":"Ruiz-Medrano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, University Hospital Puerta De Hierro Majadahonda, 28220 Madrid, Spain"},{"name":"Instituto de Microcirugia Ocular (IMO), 28035 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Muhsen","family":"Samaan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Barraquer Eye Clinic UAE, Dubai P.O.
