Abstract:Objective To evaluate the effect of different optical designs for orthokeratology in controlling the development of myopia in pre-adolescents. Methods In this prospective study, different optical designs for orthokeratology (design 1, design 2, design 3) were used in the correction of refractive errors for 254 eyes of 254 low to moderate myopic patients. Axial length (AL) was measured before and after orthokeratology. Data were analyzed with a paired t test, independent samples t test and one-way ANOVA. Results After 1 year, AL increased by (0.11±0.16)mm, (0.20±0.18)mm in the low myopia group and (0.09±0.14)mm in the moderate myopia group, indicating a statistically significant difference compared with those before lens wear (t=-11.41, P<0.01; t=-8.33, P<0.01; t=-8.73, P<0.01). The change in AL in the low myopia group was greater than in the moderate myopia group (t=-4.212, P<0.01). The rate of increase in AL showed significant differences for the 3 designs, with design 3 having the slowest rate (F=4.32, P=0.018; F=5.58, P=0.004). Conclusion Different optical designs for orthokeratology have different effects in reducing myopia progression. Different peripheral refractive patterns induced by different optical designs could be the active mechanisms.
