Relationship between myopia control and amount of corneal refractive change after orthokeratology lens treatment.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To evaluate the relationship between amount of corneal refractive change (CRC) after wearing orthokeratology (Ortho-K) lenses and axial length (AL) growth.

Methods

We retrospectively enrolled 77 patients (77 eyes) aged 8-14 years who wore Ortho-K lenses more than 12 months. We divided the patients into 2 subgroups: spherical equivalent (SE) ≤ -3.0 D and SE > -3.0 D subgroup. The sagittal and tangential curvature maps and corneal topographic data within the 8-mm diameter ring at the baseline and during follow-up visits after wearing Ortho-K lens were recorded in addition to the area, height, and volume of the CRC region. The AL data were recorded at the baseline and during follow-up visits. Multivariate linear regression was conducted to analyze associations betwee
