Predictive factors associated with axial length growth and myopia progression in orthokeratology.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To investigate the factors affecting axial length (AXL) growth and myopia progression in orthokeratology.

Methods

This prospective, observational study enrolled 28 new orthokeratology lens wearers from a contact lens clinic between March 2016 and March 2017. Among them, 32 eyes of 17 wearers who completed one year of follow-up were finally analyzed. All participants underwent central (C) and peripheral (nasal 30° [N30] and temporal 30° [T30]) AXL measurements as well as central and peripheral refraction, ocular aberrations, and corneal topography at baseline and every posttreatment visit. A generalized estimating equation (GEE) was used to assess the associations between AXL change and all independent variables in both eyes.

Results

The mean central AXL was 24
