Which age group might benefit most from orthokeratology?
This reanalysis of data from 2 clinical trials evaluated the relative risk of fast axial eye growth in children wearing ortho-k lenses. The results showed that although younger children (6-8 years) experienced faster eye growth than older children (9-12 years), they also benefitted more from ortho-k in slowing their progression when worn for a 2-year period.
