Abstract
Purpose
To investigate the effect of orthokeratology (OK) lens on axial length (AL) elongation
in unilateral myopia and bilateral myopia with anisometropia children.
Methods
Twenty-seven unilateral myopia (group 1) and 25 bilateral myopia with anisometropia
children (group 2) were involved in this 1-year retrospective study. The eyes with
higher spherical equivalent refractive error (SER) were assigned to the H eyes subgroup
and the fellow eyes with lower SER to the L eyes subgroup in the two groups.
Results
The mean change in AL of H eyes and L eyes were 0.11 ± 0.19 mm, 0.30 ± 0.28 mm in
group 1 (P = 0.04) and 0.09± 0.14mm, 0.13± 0.16mm in group 2 (P = 0.36), respectively. Multivariate regression analyses showed that significant difference
of change in AL was found between H eyes and L eyes in group1 (β=0.25, P = 0.03), but no difference in group 2 (β=0.09, P = 0.12). The AL of H eyes in group 1 and group 2, H eyes in group 1 and L eyes in
group 2 had the same increased rate (β= −0.04, P = 0.43; β = 0.02, P = 0.56).
Conclusions
Monocular OK lens is effective on suppression AL elongation of the myopic eyes and
reduce anisometropia value in unilateral myopic children. The OK lens can control
the AL elongation in both eyes at the same rate, but it cannot reduce anisometropia
value in bilateral myopia with anisometropia children after 1-year follow-up.
