Objective To investigate the status of bacterial flora in the conjunctival sac of adolescents wearing orthokeratology lenses and in their storage cases. Methods One hundred and one adolescents wearing orthokeratology lenses (wearing group) and 110 adolescents who do not wear the lenses (control group) were included in the survey. There were 158 storage cases joined in the test. Samples collected from the conjunctival sacs and storage cases were cultured at 37 ℃ for 48 h. Results Fifty-nine strains of bacteria were cultured in the wearing group, with a positive rate of 29.4%. In the control group, 68 strains were found, and the positive rate was 30.9%. There was no significant difference between the two groups (χ²=0.12, P>0.05). Seventy-two strains of bacteria were cultured in the orthokeratology lens storage cases, with a positive rate of 45.6%. Staphylococcus epidermidis was the most prevalent bacteria in the bacterial flora and storage cases of the two groups. Conclusion Wearing orthokeratology lenses does not significantly increase the positive rate of bacterial flora. At the same time, cleaning lenses and cases is effective in reducing the rate of lens pollution.
