Brief Summary

Orthokeratology (ortho-k) lens is very effective in slowing down axial elongation in myopic children by 30% to 63% when compared to children wearing single-vision spectacles or contact lenses. More recently, it is reported that the children wearing orthok lens of smaller back optical zone diameter (BOZD) demonstrated a smaller axial elongation when compared to children wearing lens with larger BOZD. We aimed to explored the myopia efficacy and visual quality of ortho-k with different BOZD (5.0mm or 6.2mm).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Changes in axial length

    Axial length was measured with a biometer

    The change of baseline and 1years

Other Outcomes (3)

  • Change of visual quality

    Follow-up evaluations were conducted at baseline, and at 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after lens wear. The differences from baseline were calculated for each follow-up period.

  • Change of wavefront aberrations

    Follow-up evaluations were conducted at baseline, and at 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after lens wear. The differences from baseline were calculated for each follow-up period.

  • Change of contract sensitivity

    Follow-up evaluations were conducted at baseline, and at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, and 12 months after lens wear. The differences from baseline were calculated for each follow-up period.

Study Arms (2)

Experimental Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Myopic children who need OK lens treatment

Device: Orthokeratology with 5.0mm back optical zone diameter

Control group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Myopic children who need OK lens treatment

Device: Orthokeratology with a 6.2 mm back optical zone diameter

Interventions

The orthokeratology lenses used in this study were Double Reservoir Lenses (DRL) manufactured by Precilens (Creteil, France). The lenses feature a dual reverse-curve design with a back optic zone diameter (BOZD) of 5.0 mm.

Experimental Group

The orthokeratology lenses used were Euclid lenses manufactured by Euclid Systems (Herndon, VA, USA). These lenses feature a four-zone, five-curve design with a back optic zone diameter (BOZD) of 6.2 mm.

Control group

Eligibility Criteria

Age8 Years - 13 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsChild (0-17)

You may qualify if:

  • Age between 8 and 13 years.
  • Subjective refraction under cycloplegia: spherical power between -4.00 D and
  • D, with cylindrical power≤ 1.50 D.
  • Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of ≥ 1.0 based on subjective refraction.
  • Willing to participate in the clinical trial and provide signed informed consent.

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients with systemic diseases causing immunocompromised or affecting orthokeratology
  • There are other eye diseases that affect orthokeratology lens wearing, such as dacryocystitis, blepharitis, various inflammation, glaucoma, etc
  • Abnormal cornea
  • Previous corneal surgery or corneal trauma history
  • Active keratitis (e.g., corneal infection)
  • Patients with best corrected distance visual acuity of less than 5.0
  • Patients with corneal flat curvature lower than 39.00D, or higher than 48.00D
  • Patients with refractive instability
  • Patients with overt strabismus
  • The corneal epithelium showed obvious fluorescent staining, which was not suitable for patients wearing orthokeratology lenses
  • Patients with dry eye are not suitable for orthokeratology
  • Patients with corneal endothelial cell density less than 2000 cells /mm2
  • Patients who had worn rigid contact lenses (including orthokeratology lenses) within the previous 30 days
