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.
