Assessing the efficacy of myopia control in monocular orthokeratology treated unilateral myopic children.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To investigate the efficacy of myopia control by comparing the orthokeratology (Ortho-K) treated eyes and the emmetropic contralateral eyes in unilateral myopic children, and to identify the inter-individual influence factors.

Method

In this retrospective study, 1566 medical records of children wearing Ortho-K lens were reviewed, and 62 children who received monocular Ortho-K lens for more than 1 year were analyzed. The change in axial length (AL) of the Ortho-K eyes and the emmetropic contralateral eyes was recorded. To evaluate the absolute and relative efficacy of myopia control, the intra-bilateral absolute reduction in AL growth (ibARAL) and the intra-bilateral relative reduction in AL growth (ibRRAL) were calculated as main outcomes. Association of the AL elong
