Purpose: Kearns-Sayre syndrome is characterized by chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia, tapetoretinal degeneration and severe generalized myopathy.
Methods and results: We report on a 82-year-old male patient with Kearns-Sayre syndrome with open angle glaucoma.
Discussion: Reports of primary open angle glaucoma with Kearns-Sayre syndrome are very rare, but it is difficult to believe that this association is merely coincidental.
