Objective To systematically review the association between myopia and open-angle glaucoma (OAG). Methods Foreign and domestic articles published from January 2000 to May 2013 were searched in PubMed, EMbase, WanFang Data, VIP and CNKI for observational studies on the association between myopia and OAG. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the studies were screened, the data were extracted, and the method quality of included studies was assessed. Then meta-analysis was performed using Stata 12.0 software. Results Eleven cross-sectional studies including 45 996 participants were finally included. The results of meta-analysis showed that, myopia increased the risk of OAG. Besides, the results of subgroup analysis by the severity of myopia showed that, low-degree myopia (more than-3.00 D) increased 1.52 times the risk (OR=1.52, 95%CI 1.23 to 1.88) while middle/high-degree myopia (no more than-3.00 D) increased 2.41 times (OR=2.41, 95%CI 1.91 to 3.03). Conclusion Individuals with myopia have increased risk of OAG.
