Prototype soft CLs designed to replicate the optical profile induced by OK were found to provide similar whole eye wavefront aberration measurements at distance and near fixation to existing OK lens wearers.
Soft contact lenses designed to simulate the change in refraction optical pro-file from orthokeratology (OK) fail to slow axial eye elongation or change to refrac-tion over 1-year of wear in children, leading to suggestion that OK’s propensity to slow myopia progression may not be due to changes OK makes to optical profile.
This research investigated orthokeratology lenses designed for a higher peripheral ‘add’ power, and how these influenced corneal hysteresis (rigidity) and higher order aberrations.
Understanding how orthokeratology alters ocular aberrations helps to understand research and potential mechanisms of myopia control. Here we explain more.
