초록

Purpose : This study investigated whether orthokeratology lenses have an inhibitory effect on short-term myopia progression in adolescents with low and moderate myopia who visited a Chinese eye hospital.
Methods : Among myopic patients who visited Visit J Eye Clinic, 40 patients, 20 in the low myopia group (40 eyes) and 20 in the moderate myopia group (40 eyes), were prescribed orthokeratology lenses and followed up for 6 months. The visual acuity, axial length, keratometry, intraocular pressure, and central corneal thickness after wearing the corneal refractive correction lenses were examined, analyzed, and compared after 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months, respectively. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS27.0 software.
Results : The corrected visual acuity increased in both low and moderate myopia groups, and data differences were statistical significance . The axial length of the eye increased less in the moderate myopia group, and data differences have statistical significance. The decrease in corneal curvature was greater in the moderate myopia group, and data differences have statistical significance. Patients wearing orthokeratology lenses showed no significant change from reference values in terms of intraocular pressure and central corneal thickness.
Conclusion : Orthokeratology lenses effectively corrects myopia in adolescents and are one of the methods to inhibit the progression of myopia, which varies according to the degree of myopia. In addition, it is more effective in controlling myopia in patients with moderate myopia than in patients with low myopia.
