Crystalline Lens Thickness Changes in Myopia Children During Long-Term Orthokeratology Treatment.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To investigate ocular parameters associated with axial length (AL) growth in children wearing orthokeratology lens during 2 years of follow-up.

Methods

This is a retrospective study. Medical records of 46 patients who underwent orthokeratology treatment for 2 years were reviewed. Baseline variables included age at initiation of orthokeratology wear, spherical equivalent (SE), central corneal thickness (CCT), and the flat and steep keratometry of corneal principal meridians. The changes in anterior chamber depth (ACD) and crystalline lens thickness (CLT) were also analyzed. The contributions of all variables to the AL elongation were assessed using univariate and multivariate regression analyses.

Result

CLT and AL significantly increased after 2 years of ort
