[PMID: 39048395 DOI: 10.1016/j.clae.2024.102280] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2024] [Revised: 06/19/2024] [Accepted: 07/18/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND To observe whether the effect of orthokeratology (OK) lenses on myopia control in children with allergic conjunctivitis (AC) after three years of wear differs from that in children without allergic conjunctivitis (nAC) and to identify the potential influencing factors. METHODS This was a retrospective case-control study. Patients aged 8-15 years who were fitted with OK lenses in 2019 were collected. A three-year follow-up was also conducted, documenting all corneal adverse events (AEs) and the increase in axial length (AL) of the eye after three years of wearing OK lenses. Patients were divided into groups with and without AC based on their medical history and physical signs at the initial fitting. Baseline data and AL elongation after three years were compared between the two groups. RESULTS A total of 309 patients were included in this study, with 47 in the AC group and 262 in the nAC group. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of age, sex, spherical equivalent (SE), AL of the eye and environment. After three years of OK lens wear, the AL elongation in the AC group was 0.96 ± 0.45 mm, whereas it was 0.69 ± 0.45 mm in the nAC group (P < 0.001). The extent of AL elongation in AC patients was significantly greater than that in nAC patients. During the three-year follow-up period, the duration of OK lenses discontinuation due to corneal AEs in the AC group was greater than that in the nAC group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS This study found that allergic conjunctivitis can affect the efficacy of OK lenses in controlling myopia after three years of treatment.

Santodomingo-Rubido J, Cheung SW, Villa-Collar C. A new look at the myopia control efficacy of orthokeratology. Cont Lens Anterior Eye 2024:102251. [PMID: 38906728 DOI: 10.1016/j.clae.2024.102251] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2023] [Revised: 04/26/2024] [Accepted: 06/11/2024] [Indexed: 06/23/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy of orthokeratology contact lens wear in slowing the axial elongation of the eye in myopic children. METHODS Data from three prospective studies, which evaluated the use of orthokeratology for slowing myopia progression in children in comparison to a parallel control group of distance, single-vision spectacle lens wearers over a 2-year period, were pooled together for analysis. RESULTS Collectively, data from 125 orthokeratology and 118 control subjects were analyzed in this study. Of these, 101 (81 %) and 88 (75 %) orthokeratology and control subjects completed the 2-year follow-up period, respectively. Statistically significant differences in the change in axial length from baseline were found over time, between groups and for the time*group interaction (all p < 0.001), indicating that the rate of increase in axial length over time was significantly lower in the orthokeratology versus the control group. The lower axial elongation of the orthokeratology versus the control group was statistically significant at all time points (all p < 0.001), with significant differences being also present between each of the different pairs of time points (all p < 0.001). The interactions of group with age, gender, mean spherical refractive error and ethnicity at baseline were not significant (p > 0.05). The change in axial length at the 2-year visit in comparison to baseline for the orthokeratology and control groups were 0.41 ± 0.25 and 0.65 ± 0.30 mm, respectively, thus providing a treatment effect following 2-years of lens wear of 0.24 mm (95 % confidence intervals: 0.15 to 0.34 mm). About 40 % and 25 % of the orthokeratology subjects experienced remarkably low and high levels of myopia progression, respectively (2-years axial elongation: ≤0.30 mm and >0.59 mm, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Orthokeratology lens wear slows the axial elongation of the eye in comparison to spectacle lens wear in myopic children. The use of these lenses for slowing myopia progression appears to be very effective and not effective at all in 40% and 25% of orthokeratology lens wearers, respectively.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the effects of modifications in back optical zone diameter (BOZD), reverse curve width (RCW), and compression factor (CF) on refractive error changes and axial elongation in myopic children undergoing orthokeratology (ortho-k) over a 12-month period. METHOD In this retrospective study, data from 126 myopic children undergoing ortho-k fitting were analyzed. Subjects were categorized into four distinct groups based on lens design parameters: Group A (BOZD 6.0 mm, RCW 0.6 mm, CF 0.75 D); Group B (BOZD 6.0 mm, RCW 0.6 mm, CF 1.25 D); Group C (BOZD 5.4 mm, RCW 0.9 mm, CF 1.25 D); and Group D (BOZD 5.0 mm, RCW 1.1 mm, CF 1.25 D). The study evaluated uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), corneal topography, and axial length (AL) at intervals, using Linear Mixed Models (LMMs) for time-based changes, and ANOVA or Kruskal-Wallis tests for group differences in AL elongation. A multivariable regression analysis identified factors independently associated with AL elongation. RESULTS Within the first day and week, all four groups displayed significant improvements in UCVA and alterations in corneal curvature, which subsequently stabilized. Although UCVA variations between groups were subtle, Group D had less corneal curvature change than Groups A and B initially and exhibited significantly less AL elongation after one year. No significant difference in corneal curvature change or AL elongation was observed between Group C and the other groups. Multiple regression analysis indicated that older baseline age, greater baseline spherical equivalent refractive error, and smaller BOZD were associated with less AL elongation. CONCLUSION The study reveals a positive correlation between BOZD and axial length growth over the 12-month period. A pure 0.5 D CF increment demonstrates a nonsignificant impact. This study provides new ideas into optimizing the parameters of ortho-k lenses.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate bilateral axial length (AL) growth patterns and interactions of myopic eyes in anisometropic children during unilateral orthokeratology (OK) treatment in their singularly myopic eyes (Eyes1), followed by bilateral treatment when their second eyes (Eyes2) developed myopia. METHODS This study enrolled 94 eyes from 47 anisometropes (20 males). All patients had undergone monocular OK treatment for > 1 year followed by binocular treatment for > 1 year. Axial growth of Eyes1 and Eyes2 during the first year of monocular treatment (Stage 1), average annual axial elongation during the monocular treatment period, and axial elongation during the first year of binocular treatment (Stage 2) were respectively termed: S1E1 and S1E2, Annual E1 and Annual E2, and S2E1 and S2E2. Associations between AL growth and age, sex, interval time, and ocular parameters were analysed using correlation and generalised estimating equation (GEE) analysis. RESULTS During the monocular period, Eyes1 showed less AL growth (S1E1: 0.05 ± 0.18 mm; Annual E1: 0.05 ± 0.21 mm) than Eyes2 (S1E2: 0.51 ± 0.24 mm; Annual E2: 0.52 ± 0.25 mm) (all p < 0.001). During the binocular period, there was no significant difference between S2E1 and S2E2(0.21 ± 0.14 mm v. 0.19 ± 0.17 mm, p = 0.951). Between monocular and binocular periods, Eyes1 had significantly higher S2E1 compared to S1E1 and Annual E1 (both p < 0.001), and Eyes2 had significantly lower S2E2 than S1E2 and Annual E2 (both p < 0.001). In the GEE model, spherical equivalent refraction (SER) and between periods interval time showed independently significant associations with AL growth after adjusting for age and sex. CONCLUSION Orthokeratology can significantly control AL growth in unilateral myopia. AL growth of the initial myopic OK-treated eyes accelerated relative to the monocular period when contralateral eyes developed myopia and assumed OK treatment. During the binocular treatment phase, OK lenses showed moderate and comparable effects on AL retardation across both eyes.

[PMID: 37578349 DOI: 10.1111/aos.15746] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2022] [Revised: 07/03/2023] [Accepted: 07/27/2023] [Indexed: 08/15/2023]
Abstract
To compare the treatment efficacy of childhood myopia control optical interventions [spectacles, soft contact lenses (SCLs) and orthokeratology (OK) lenses], explore the consistency of treatment efficacies during the treatment period and evaluate the impact of baseline spherical equivalent refraction (SER), axial length (AL) and age on the treatment effect. A literature search of EMBASE, PubMed and Google Scholar databases identified 220 articles published between January 2000 and April 2022, which reported the treatment efficacy by differences in the SER and AL change between intervention and control groups. Thirty-five articles were included in the analysis. Treatment effect sizes (ESs) were calculated, where more positive and negative directions indicated greater treatment efficacy for SER and AL respectively. For SER, the ESs with peripheral add design spectacles (0.66) and SCLs (0.53) were large but not significantly different between treatment types (p = 0.69). For AL, ESs with peripheral add design spectacles (-0.37), SCLs (-0.55) and OK lenses (-0.93) were large, but OK lenses had a significantly greater effect than peripheral add design spectacles (p ≤ 0.001). ESs were large during the first 12 months of treatment for all interventions [peripheral add design SCLs and OK (F ≥ 5.39, p ≤ 0.01), peripheral add design spectacles (F = 0.47, p = 0.63)] but reduced towards the end of 24-36 months of treatment. Baseline SER had an impact on the treatment effect with peripheral add design spectacles only. Optical interventions are efficacious in controlling childhood myopia progression. However, treatment effects were largest only during the first 12 months of treatment and reduced over time.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the relationship between relative corneal refractive power shift (RCRPS) and axial length growth (ALG) in bilateral myopic anisometropes treated with orthokeratology. METHODS A total of 102 children with myopic anisometropia in this prospective interventional study were randomly assigned to the spectacle group and orthokeratology group. Axial length (AL) and corneal topography was measured at baseline and the 12-month follow-up visit. ALG was defined as the difference between the two measurements, and RCRPS profiles were calculated from two axial maps obtained. RESULTS In the orthokeratology group, the ALG in the more myopic eye (0.06 ± 0.15 mm) was significantly smaller than that in the less myopic eye (0.15 ± 0.15 mm, p < 0.001), and the interocular difference in AL significantly decreased following 1-year treatment, from 0.47 ± 0.32 to 0.38 ± 0.28 mm (p < 0.001). However, in the spectacle group, the ALG was similar between the two eyes, and the interocular difference in AL did not change significantly over one year (all p > 0.05). The interocular difference in ALG in the orthokeratology group was significantly correlated with the interocular difference in RCRPS (dRCRPS, β=-0.003, p < 0.001) and the interocular difference in baseline AL (β=-0.1179, p < 0.001), with R2 being 0.6197. CONCLUSION Orthokeratology was effective in decreasing the magnitude of anisometropia. The interocular variation in RCRPS is an important factor accounting for the reduction of interocular ALG difference in anisomyopic children post-orthokeratology. These results provide insight into establishing eye-specific myopia control guidelines during orthokeratology treatment for myopic anisometropes.

Abstract
PURPOSE With the rising prevalence of myopia, especially among the young, orthokeratology (Ortho-K) stands out as a promising approach, not only to reduce myopia but also to control the progression of axial length (AL). This study examined how the intersection area between the pupil and defocus ring influenced retinal defocus and axial growth after Ortho-K. METHODS A case-control study was conducted with 100 participants (100 eyes). Both AL and the refraction difference value (RDV), that is, the peripheral refractive error measured with respect to the central value after wearing Ortho-K lenses, were determined. Subjects were categorised into two groups based on the size of the intersection area after 3 months of lens wear: Group A (<4.58 mm2 ) and Group B (≥4.58 mm2 ). RESULTS Group B demonstrated significantly lower changes in AL and RDV at 30-40° and 40-53° compared with Group A after 3 months of lens wear (all p < 0.05). After 6 months of lens wear, Group B showed significantly lower changes in AL and RDV in the 40-53° region compared with Group A (all p < 0.05). Correlation analysis revealed that as the intersection area increased, the changes in AL and RDV at 0-53°, 30-40° and 40-53° eccentricity decreased after both 3 and 6 months of lens wear (all p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS A larger intersection area between the pupil and defocus ring within a certain time period can cause a greater amount of myopic defocus at 30-53° from the fovea. The results suggest that a larger intersection area might lead to more effective control of axial growth.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To develop and validate a deep learning-based model for predicting 12-month axial length (AL) elongation using baseline factors and early corneal topographic changes in children treated with orthokeratology (Ortho-K) and to investigate the association between these factors and myopia control impact. METHODS A total of 115 patients with Ortho-K were enrolled. Influential baseline factors that have a statistically significant correlation with 12-month AL from medical records were selected using Pearson correlation coefficients. Simultaneously, the height, area, and volume of the defocus region were directly calculated from the corneal topography. Then, the prediction model was developed by combining multiple linear regression and deep neural network and evaluated in an independent group (83 patients for developing the algorithm and 32 patients for evaluation). RESULTS Age ( r= -0.30, P <0.001), spherical equivalent refractive (SE; r =0.20, P =0.032), and sex ( r =0.19, P =0.032) were significantly correlated with the AL elongation while pupil diameter, flat k, steep k, horizontal corneal diameter (white to white), anterior chamber depth, and cell density were not ( P >0.1). The prediction model was developed using age, SE, and corneal topographic variation, and the validation of the model demonstrated its effectiveness in predicting AL elongation. CONCLUSIONS The AL elongation was accurately predicted by the deep learning model, which effectively incorporated both baseline factors and corneal topographic variation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the changes in choroidal thickness and axial length after orthokeratology in adolescents with low-to-moderate myopia and to explore the relationship between choroidal thickness and axial length variation. METHODS Thirty eyes with low-to-moderate myopia were retrospectively studied, and optometric data were collected before and after 6 months of continuous orthokeratology. Axial length and choroidal and foveal thicknesses were measured using optical biometry and enhanced depth imaging-spectral domain optical coherence tomography, respectively. RESULTS Axial length in the low myopia group increased ( P <0.001) after 6 months of orthokeratology, and the variation was greater than that in the moderate myopia group ( P <0.05). The subfoveal choroidal thickness in low and moderate myopia groups increased ( P <0.01), and the variation was greater in the moderate myopia group ( P <0.05). Choroidal thickness in all seven measured spots increased, with the variation of subfovea, nasal 1 mm to fovea, and temporal 1 mm to fovea being statistically significant ( P <0.001, P <0.05, and P <0.05). The change in axial length was negatively associated with subfoveal and average choroidal thicknesses ( P <0.01). CONCLUSION Adolescents with moderate myopia presented better axial length control after 6 months of orthokeratology. The choroidal thickness of low and moderate myopic eyes increased, and the variation was more significant in moderate myopic eyes. The axial length control effects can be associated with an increase in the subfoveal and average choroidal thickness.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the influence factors of the treatment zone diameter (TZD) and its relationship with axial length growth (ALG) after wearing Paragon CRT and Euclid orthokeratology lenses. METHODS The right eye data of myopic patients wearing Paragon CRT and Euclid orthokeratology in the ophthalmology department of The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University were retrospectively reviewed from April 2019 to October 2022. The TZD and ALG were compared between the Paragon CRT and Euclid groups. The correlation factors of TZD after wearing lens for 1 month and the relationship between the overlapping treatment zone-to-pupil area ratio and the ALG after wearing lens for 1 year were analyzed between the two groups. RESULTS There were 160 patients (160 eyes) in the Paragon CRT group and 155 patients (155 eyes) in the Euclid group. After wearing lens for 1 month, the TZD in the Paragon CRT group (3.72±0.37 mm) was larger than that in the Euclid group (3.26±0.37 mm) ( P <0.001). The stepwise multivariate linear regression analysis showed that the eccentricity at the flattest meridians (Em) and the central corneal thickness were correlated with the TZD in both groups ( P <0.05). After wearing lens for 1 year, the ALG in the Paragon CRT group (0.32±0.20 mm) was larger than that in the Euclid group (0.25±0.20 mm) ( P =0.001). The stepwise multivariate linear regression analysis showed that the initial wearing age and the overlapping treatment zone area-to-pupil area ratio were correlated with the ALG in both groups ( P <0.05). CONCLUSION For both the Paragon CRT and Euclid orthokeratology, the wearers with thicker central corneal thickness and smaller Em usually had a smaller TZD. In both groups, the overlapping treatment zone area-to-pupil area ratio was correlated with the ALG.

Peripheral Defocus, Pupil Size, and Axial Eye Growth in Children Wearing Soft Multifocal Contact Lenses in the BLINK Study. Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci 2023; 64:3. [PMID: 37910092 PMCID: PMC10627291 DOI: 10.1167/iovs.64.14.3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2023] [Accepted: 10/10/2023] [Indexed: 11/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between peripheral defocus and pupil size on axial growth in children randomly assigned to wear either single vision contact lenses, +1.50 diopter (D), or +2.50 D addition multifocal contact lenses (MFCLs). Methods Children 7 to 11 years old with myopia (-0.75 to -5.00 D; spherical component) and ≤1.00 D astigmatism were enrolled. Autorefraction (horizontal meridian; right eye) was measured annually wearing contact lenses centrally and ±20 degrees, ±30 degrees, and ±40 degrees from the line of sight at near and distance. Photopic and mesopic pupil size were measured. The effects of peripheral defocus, treatment group, and pupil size on the 3-year change in axial length were modeled using multiple variables that evaluated defocus across the retina. Results Although several peripheral defocus variables were associated with slower axial growth with MFCLs, they were either no longer significant or not meaningfully associated with eye growth after the treatment group was included in the model. The treatment group assignment better explained the slower eye growth with +2.50 MFCLs than peripheral defocus. Photopic and mesopic pupil size did not modify eye growth with the +2.50 MFCL (all P ≥ 0.37). Conclusions The optical signal causing slower axial elongation with +2.50 MFCLs is better explained by the lens type worn than by peripheral defocus. The signal might be something other than peripheral defocus, or there is not a linear dose-response relationship within treatment groups. We found no evidence to support pupil size as a criterion when deciding which myopic children to treat with MFCLs.

Changes of corneal biomechanics in children using orthokeratology and their roles in predicting axial length progression-A prospective 2-year study. Acta Ophthalmol 2023; 101:755-765. [PMID: 36959685 DOI: 10.1111/aos.15662] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2022] [Revised: 02/19/2023] [Accepted: 03/08/2023] [Indexed: 03/25/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To determine how orthokeratology (ortho-k) affects corneal biomechanical properties in myopia control and whether corneal biomechanical parameters can predict clinical efficacy of ortho-k. METHODS A total of 125 children 7-15 years of age using ortho-k lenses were followed in this clinical practice and data of their right eyes were analysed. Corneal biomechanical parameters and most ocular biometry were measured at baseline, 1 week, and at 1, 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months. Axial length (AL) was collected every 6 months after baseline measurements. RESULTS During the 2-year follow up, nine corneal biomechanical parameters, including deformation amplitude maximum (DA), varied between baseline and 1 week (p < 0.05) and stabilized during the rest of wearing period (p > 0.05). The mean AL increased from 25.02 ± 0.84 mm to 25.38 ± 0.81 mm and baseline DA strongly correlated with AL progression (Pearson r = 0.37). In the multiple regression models, baseline age, AL and DA were the independent factors for AL progression (R2 : 0.7849, 0.2180 in low and moderate myopes). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curves using the three variables for predicting excessive AL progression (>0.35 mm during 2 years) in low and moderate myopes was 0.902 and 0.698. CONCLUSIONS Corneal biomechanics firstly fluctuated before becoming stable with long-term ortho-k use. Corneal biomechanics was associated with AL progression in children wearing ortho-k lenses. DA combined with age and AL at baseline could predict AL progression in low myopes using ortho-k.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Orthokeratology (OK) and low-concentration atropine are recommended approaches for controlling myopia. However, children with younger age and lower myopia are more likely to experience rapid axial progression during OK or atropine monotreatment. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of OK combined with low-concentration atropine for myopia control in children over 24 months and to determine whether the effect was sustainable. METHODS In this retrospective study, we reviewed medical records of baseline and follow-up visits from children (7-14 years) applying OK for myopia control. Sixty-eight children receiving monoorthokeratology treatment (OK group) and 68 children who received 0.01% atropine in combination with orthokeratology simultaneously (AOK group) were included. A series of ophthalmic tests at baseline were conducted, and axial length (AL) was measured every 6 months. The comparison of AL change at different visits between the two groups was performed by repeated measures multivariate analyses of variance (RM-MANOVA). RESULTS There were no significant differences in baseline characters between the two groups (p > 0.05). The AL significantly increased over time in both groups (all p < 0.05), and the 2-year change in AOK was 0.16 mm (36%) lower than in OK (0.28 ± 0.22 mm versus 0.44 ± 0.34 mm, p = 0.001). Compared with OK group, the significant suppression of AL elongation in the AOK group was observed in 0-6, 6-12, and 12-18 month periods (suppression rate: 62.5%, 33.3%, 38.5%, respectively, p < 0.05), while there was no significant difference in the 18-24 month period (p = 0.105). The multiple regression analysis showed an interaction between age and treatment effect (interaction coefficient = 0.06, p = 0.040), indicating one year age decrease approximately associated with 0.06 mm increased retardation in AL elongation in the AOK group. CONCLUSION The add-on effect of 0.01% atropine in OK wearers only occurred within 1.5 years, and younger children benefited more from the combination treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the efficacy of orthokeratology in controlling the rate of myopia progression in children and investigate the factors associated with axial length (AL) growth rate with an average of 48 months of orthokeratology lens wear. METHODS As a retrospective study, 84 subjects underwent relatively complete ophthalmologic examinations. After initial lens wear, AL was measured on average every 12 months. The linear mixed-effects model (LMM) was used to compare the differences in AL growth rates at each time interval. The contribution of the independent variables to AL change was assessed using multiple linear regression. RESULTS In the LMM, there was a significant difference in the AL growth rate ( P <0.001) at each follow-up. The growth rate of AL was associated with initial AL, spherical equivalent refractive errors (SERs) and diameter of lens ( P =0.045, 0.003 and 0.037, respectively). When the baseline age was included as a factor, the influence of initial AL and SER became insignificant in the analysis, whereas age and diameter of lens were significantly correlated with the growth rate of AL ( P< 0.001 and P< 0.001, respectively). There were significant differences in growth rates among different age groups. CONCLUSIONS Results of the study demonstrated that the factors associated with lower growth rate in AL were older age and longer diameter of lens.

Abstract
Several factors influence axial length in children with myopia treated using overnight orthokeratology. To identify these factors, this retrospective study collected axial length and corneal aberration data on 78 eyes before and 1-year after orthokeratology. Patients were divided according to axial elongation (cut-off, 0.25 mm/year). Baseline characteristics included age, sex, spherical equivalent refraction, pupil diameter, axial length, and orthokeratology lens type. Corneal shape effects were compared through tangential difference maps. Group differences in higher-order aberrations of a 4 mm zone were compared at baseline and 1-year following therapy. Binary logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify the variables determined for axial elongation. Significant differences between both groups included the initial age of wearing orthokeratology lenses, type of orthokeratology lens, size of central flattening area, corneal total surface C12 (1-year), corneal total surface C8 (1-year), corneal total surface spherical aberration (SA) (1-year root mean square [RMS] values), change in total corneal surface C12, and change in front and total corneal surface SA (RMS values). The age when wearing an orthokeratology lens was the most important factor influencing axial length in children with orthokeratology-treated myopia, followed by lens type and change in the C12 of the total corneal surface.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Myopia is a common refractive error, where elongation of the eyeball causes distant objects to appear blurred. The increasing prevalence of myopia is a growing global public health problem, in terms of rates of uncorrected refractive error and significantly, an increased risk of visual impairment due to myopia-related ocular morbidity. Since myopia is usually detected in children before 10 years of age and can progress rapidly, interventions to slow its progression need to be delivered in childhood. OBJECTIVES To assess the comparative efficacy of optical, pharmacological and environmental interventions for slowing myopia progression in children using network meta-analysis (NMA). To generate a relative ranking of myopia control interventions according to their efficacy. To produce a brief economic commentary, summarising the economic evaluations assessing myopia control interventions in children. To maintain the currency of the evidence using a living systematic review approach. SEARCH METHODS: We searched CENTRAL (which contains the Cochrane Eyes and Vision Trials Register), MEDLINE; Embase; and three trials registers. The search date was 26 February 2022. SELECTION CRITERIA: We included randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of optical, pharmacological and environmental interventions for slowing myopia progression in children aged 18 years or younger. Critical outcomes were progression of myopia (defined as the difference in the change in spherical equivalent refraction (SER, dioptres (D)) and axial length (mm) in the intervention and control groups at one year or longer) and difference in the change in SER and axial length following cessation of treatment ('rebound'). DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: We followed standard Cochrane methods. We assessed bias using RoB 2 for parallel RCTs. We rated the certainty of evidence using the GRADE approach for the outcomes: change in SER and axial length at one and two years. Most comparisons were with inactive controls. MAIN RESULTS We included 64 studies that randomised 11,617 children, aged 4 to 18 years. Studies were mostly conducted in China or other Asian countries (39 studies, 60.9%) and North America (13 studies, 20.3%). Fifty-seven studies (89%) compared myopia control interventions (multifocal spectacles, peripheral plus spectacles (PPSL), undercorrected single vision spectacles (SVLs), multifocal soft contact lenses (MFSCL), orthokeratology, rigid gas-permeable contact lenses (RGP); or pharmacological interventions (including high- (HDA), moderate- (MDA) and low-dose (LDA) atropine, pirenzipine or 7-methylxanthine) against an inactive control. Study duration was 12 to 36 months. The overall certainty of the evidence ranged from very low to moderate. Since the networks in the NMA were poorly connected, most estimates versus control were as, or more, imprecise than the corresponding direct estimates. Consequently, we mostly report estimates based on direct (pairwise) comparisons below. At one year, in 38 studies (6525 participants analysed), the median change in SER for controls was -0.65 D. The following interventions may reduce SER progression compared to controls: HDA (mean difference (MD) 0.90 D, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.62 to 1.18), MDA (MD 0.65 D, 95% CI 0.27 to 1.03), LDA (MD 0.38 D, 95% CI 0.10 to 0.66), pirenzipine (MD 0.32 D, 95% CI 0.15 to 0.49), MFSCL (MD 0.26 D, 95% CI 0.17 to 0.35), PPSLs (MD 0.51 D, 95% CI 0.19 to 0.82), and multifocal spectacles (MD 0.14 D, 95% CI 0.08 to 0.21). By contrast, there was little or no evidence that RGP (MD 0.02 D, 95% CI -0.05 to 0.10), 7-methylxanthine (MD 0.07 D, 95% CI -0.09 to 0.24) or undercorrected SVLs (MD -0.15 D, 95% CI -0.29 to 0.00) reduce progression. At two years, in 26 studies (4949 participants), the median change in SER for controls was -1.02 D. The following interventions may reduce SER progression compared to controls: HDA (MD 1.26 D, 95% CI 1.17 to 1.36), MDA (MD 0.45 D, 95% CI 0.08 to 0.83), LDA (MD 0.24 D, 95% CI 0.17 to 0.31), pirenzipine (MD 0.41 D, 95% CI 0.13 to 0.69), MFSCL (MD 0.30 D, 95% CI 0.19 to 0.41), and multifocal spectacles (MD 0.19 D, 95% CI 0.08 to 0.30). PPSLs (MD 0.34 D, 95% CI -0.08 to 0.76) may also reduce progression, but the results were inconsistent. For RGP, one study found a benefit and another found no difference with control. We found no difference in SER change for undercorrected SVLs (MD 0.02 D, 95% CI -0.05 to 0.09). At one year, in 36 studies (6263 participants), the median change in axial length for controls was 0.31 mm. The following interventions may reduce axial elongation compared to controls: HDA (MD -0.33 mm, 95% CI -0.35 to 0.30), MDA (MD -0.28 mm, 95% CI -0.38 to -0.17), LDA (MD -0.13 mm, 95% CI -0.21 to -0.05), orthokeratology (MD -0.19 mm, 95% CI -0.23 to -0.15), MFSCL (MD -0.11 mm, 95% CI -0.13 to -0.09), pirenzipine (MD -0.10 mm, 95% CI -0.18 to -0.02), PPSLs (MD -0.13 mm, 95% CI -0.24 to -0.03), and multifocal spectacles (MD -0.06 mm, 95% CI -0.09 to -0.04). We found little or no evidence that RGP (MD 0.02 mm, 95% CI -0.05 to 0.10), 7-methylxanthine (MD 0.03 mm, 95% CI -0.10 to 0.03) or undercorrected SVLs (MD 0.05 mm, 95% CI -0.01 to 0.11) reduce axial length. At two years, in 21 studies (4169 participants), the median change in axial length for controls was 0.56 mm. The following interventions may reduce axial elongation compared to controls: HDA (MD -0.47mm, 95% CI -0.61 to -0.34), MDA (MD -0.33 mm, 95% CI -0.46 to -0.20), orthokeratology (MD -0.28 mm, (95% CI -0.38 to -0.19), LDA (MD -0.16 mm, 95% CI -0.20 to -0.12), MFSCL (MD -0.15 mm, 95% CI -0.19 to -0.12), and multifocal spectacles (MD -0.07 mm, 95% CI -0.12 to -0.03). PPSL may reduce progression (MD -0.20 mm, 95% CI -0.45 to 0.05) but results were inconsistent. We found little or no evidence that undercorrected SVLs (MD -0.01 mm, 95% CI -0.06 to 0.03) or RGP (MD 0.03 mm, 95% CI -0.05 to 0.12) reduce axial length. There was inconclusive evidence on whether treatment cessation increases myopia progression. Adverse events and treatment adherence were not consistently reported, and only one study reported quality of life. No studies reported environmental interventions reporting progression in children with myopia, and no economic evaluations assessed interventions for myopia control in children. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS Studies mostly compared pharmacological and optical treatments to slow the progression of myopia with an inactive comparator. Effects at one year provided evidence that these interventions may slow refractive change and reduce axial elongation, although results were often heterogeneous. A smaller body of evidence is available at two or three years, and uncertainty remains about the sustained effect of these interventions. Longer-term and better-quality studies comparing myopia control interventions used alone or in combination are needed, and improved methods for monitoring and reporting adverse effects.

Long-term follow-up of changes in ocular biometric parameters in orthokeratology lens wearers with relatively large-scale axial length reduction. EYE AND VISION (LONDON, ENGLAND) 2023; 10:6. [PMID: 36726171 PMCID: PMC9893609 DOI: 10.1186/s40662-022-00324-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2022] [Accepted: 12/26/2022] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate ocular biological characteristics for myopic children with axial length (AL) reduction during orthokeratology (Ortho-K) treatment and provide clinical clues for better myopia control effects. METHODS Changes in ocular parameters and treatment zone (TZ) in 75 subjects who completed one-year Ortho-K treatment were retrospectively reviewed. The subjects were divided into two groups according to one-year AL change: the AL reduction group (n = 37) and the AL elongation group (n = 38). Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were performed to determine the association between TZ, ocular parameters, and AL change. RESULTS There was no significant difference in baseline between the two groups (all P > 0.05). After one year of Ortho-K treatment, compared with those in the AL elongation group, children in the AL reduction group had a decreased anterior chamber depth (ACD) (P < 0.001), thickened crystalline lens thickness (CLT) (P = 0.002), thinned vitreous chamber depth (VCD) (P < 0.001) and smaller TZ (P = 0.03), but no difference in central corneal thickness (CCT) and pupil diameter (PD). In the multivariable analyses, AL reduction was negatively associated with baseline age (beta: - 0.048; 95% CI: - 0.083 to - 0.013; P = 0.009) and positively associated with the TZ (beta: 0.024; 95% CI: 0.009 to 0.040; P = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS In AL reduction eyes, thickened CLT, decreased ACD and thinned VCD were observed during Ortho-K treatment, which could be suggested as indicators for better myopia control effects in the clinic. Older baseline age and smaller TZ wearing Ortho-K were also associated with AL change. Thickened CLT may be a result of compensation for AL-reduction eyes.

Biometric factors and orthokeratology lens parameters can influence the treatment zone diameter on corneal topography in Corneal Refractive Therapy lens wearers. Cont Lens Anterior Eye 2023; 46:101700. [PMID: 35501251 DOI: 10.1016/j.clae.2022.101700] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2021] [Revised: 04/20/2022] [Accepted: 04/24/2022] [Indexed: 01/18/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the relationship between patients' baseline biometric factors or lens parameters and the diameter of the treatment zone in young myopic children undergoing Corneal Refractive Therapy. METHODS The data of patients undergoing Corneal Refractive Therapy lens treatment within two years were retrospectively reviewed. Baseline clinical data, including sex, age, refractive power, corneal topography readings, ocular optical biometric measurements, and Corneal Refractive Therapy lens parameters, were subjected to Pearson, Spearman, and partial correlation analyses to identify the potential factors that may influence treatment zone diameter on corneal topography. Logistic and linear regression analyses were used to predict the treatment zone size. RESULTS The Right eyes of 309 patients were included in this study. The spherical refraction, flat keratometric reading, Reverse Zone Depth 2, Landing Zone Angle 1, and lens diameter were independent factors of treatment zone diameter. In the multivariate analyses, Landing Zone Angle 1 was positively correlated, while Reverse Zone Depth 2 and lens diameter were negatively correlated with the size of the treatment area. The accuracy of logistic regression in predicting the treatment zone size was 71.5%. CONCLUSION Adjustments to Corneal Refractive Therapy lens parameters may influence the treatment zone diameter on corneal topography. A higher Reverse Zone Depth 2, smaller Landing Zone Angle 1, and larger lens diameter can lead to a smaller treatment zone for Corneal Refractive Therapy lens treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the effects of overnight orthokeratology (OK) lenses wear on the interocular axial length (AL) difference in anisomyopic children. METHODS Sixty anisomyopic children (8-14 years old) were enrolled in this one-year prospective, randomised controlled study. Subjects were randomly assigned to wear OK lenses (OK group) or single-vision spectacles (control group). AL was monitored at baseline and every six months using an IOL Master biometer, and axial elongation and interocular AL differences were compared between the groups. RESULTS In the control group, the more myopic eyes had similar axial elongation (0.36 ± 0.17 mm) to the less myopic eyes (0.37 ± 0.17 mm) at the one-year follow-up (P > 0.05). In the OK group, the less myopic eyes exhibited significantly greater axial elongation (0.24 ± 0.17 mm) than the more myopic eyes (0.13 ± 0.13 mm) at the one-year follow-up (P < 0.05). The mean interocular AL difference significantly decreased in the OK group over one year, from 0.47 ± 0.24 mm to 0.35 ± 0.22 mm (P < 0.05). However, the mean interocular AL difference decreased only slightly in the control group, from 0.56 ± 0.28 mm to 0.55 ± 0.28 mm (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION This randomised, controlled study demonstrated that OK reduces the interocular AL difference in anisomyopic children due to stronger myopic control of the more myopic eye.

Abstract
PURPOSE To characterize the clinical changes occurring in the initial phase of the orthokeratology (OK) treatment for myopia correction, developing a model of prediction of the refractive changes in such phase. METHODS Prospective study enrolling 64 eyes of 32 patients (range, 20-40 years) undergoing myopic OK treatment with the reverse geometry contact lens CRT (Paragon Vision Science). Changes in uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), refraction, corneal topography, ocular aberrations, and corneal epithelial thickness were evaluated during the first hour of OK lens wear and after 1 week of OK treatment. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to obtain a model to predict the short-term refractive effect of OK. RESULTS The UCVA improved at each visit, reaching normal visual acuity values after a week (P<0.001) of OK treatment, which was consistent with the significant spherical equivalent (SE) reduction and central flattening (P<0.001). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that one night change in refraction (ΔR×1N) could be predicted according to the following expression (P<0.001, R2=0.686): ΔR×1N=1.042+0.028×Age+1.014×BCET (baseline central epithelium thickness)-0.752×BKm (baseline mean keratometry)-1.405×BSE (baseline SE)+1.032×ΔR×1 h (change in SE after 1 hr of OK lens use). Similarly, a statistically relevant linear relationship was obtained for predicting the refractive change after 1 week (ΔR×1W) of OK use (P<0.001, R2=0.928): ΔR×1W=3.470-1.046×BSE-1.552×BBCVA (baseline BCVA)-0.391×BKm+0.450×ΔR×1 h. CONCLUSIONS The immediate and short-term refractive effects of myopic OK with the reverse geometry contact lens CRT can be predicted with enough accuracy from baseline and first trial visits data.

Abstract
PURPOSE To develop and validate an ideal nomogram and an online calculator for predicting rapid myopia progression risk in children managed with orthokeratology (ortho-k). METHODS Data of children undergoing ortho-k treatment at Shanghai Children's Hospitals between January 2018 and April 2021 were retrospectively assessed. Potential predictors were screened using univariable analyses and a bidirectional stepwise procedure based on Akaike's information criterion. The final model was constructed using multivariable logistic regression and validated using an internal validation cohort. A nomogram and an online calculator were used to present the final model. RESULTS In this retrospective study with 1051 eyes of 560 myopia patients, the training cohort included 735 eyes, and the validation cohort included 316 eyes. Among 11 potential predictors of rapid myopia progression considered, the following four variables identified as independent predictive factors were included in the nomogram: age (odds ratio [OR], 0.69; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.61-0.79), baseline spherical equivalent (OR, 1.53; 95% CI, 1.31-1.79), pupil diameter (OR, 0.56; 95% CI, 0.32-0.97), and horizontal visible iris diameter (OR, 0.57; 95% CI, 0.33-0.97). The mean concordance statistics for the training and validation cohorts were 0.705 (95% CI 0.664-0.747) and 0.707 (95% CI 0.639-0.774), respectively. The online calculator is publicly available (https://hycalculatoronline.shinyapps.io/dynnomapp/). CONCLUSION This study developed a simple-to-use nomogram and online calculator that predicted rapid myopia progression risk in children treated with ortho-k, who will likely benefit from early intervention and improved surveillance.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the correlation between the baseline axial length (AL) and axial elongation in myopes undergoing orthokeratology (ortho-k). METHODS This was a retrospective study. During the 1-year follow-up, 1176 children (aged 8-14 years) were included and divided into an ortho-k group (n = 588) and a single-vision spectacle group (n = 588). The ortho-k group participants (8-11 years of age) who completed the 3-year follow-up (n = 150) were further divided into three subgroups stratified by their baseline AL: subgroup 1 (AL < 24.5 mm), subgroup 2 (24.5 ≤ AL < 26 mm) and subgroup 3 (AL ≥ 26 mm). AL was measured at baseline and during the annual visit. RESULTS The ortho-k group exhibited slower 1-year axial elongation (39% reduction) than the spectacle group. The 1-year axial elongation was negatively correlated with initial age in both groups. A negative association between 1-year axial elongation and baseline AL was observed in the ortho-k group but not in the spectacle group. However, this relationship only existed in ortho-k participants 8-11 years of age. For the younger ortho-k participants who completed the 3-year follow-up, the annual axial elongation was significantly higher in subgroup 1 for the first and second years but not in the third year compared with subgroups 2 and 3. CONCLUSION Axial elongation was negatively correlated with baseline AL in the ortho-k group. Children aged 8-11 years with longer baseline AL (≥24.5 mm) demonstrated slower annual axial elongation during the first 2 years of ortho-k treatment, which may provide insight into establishing individual guidelines for controlling myopia using ortho-k in children with different baseline characteristics.

Myopia is a leading cause of visual impairment in young people worldwide. It sometimes increases the risk of blindness and reduces life quality. Previous reports have revealed the treatment effects of defocus-incorporated multiple segments (DIMS) and topical atropine (ATP) on myopia control. However, no study has evaluated these two interventions together. In this retrospective study, we aimed to determine whether the combination of DIMS lenses and 0.01% ATP can slow the progression of myopia compared with DIMS lenses or single vision (SV) lenses alone. We included 107 children with myopia who were treated with DIMS and 0.01% ATP combination (DIMS + ATP group), DIMS monotherapy (DIMS group), or a control group (SV group). We compared treatment effects among three groups in axial length and myopia progression. After a 1-year follow-up, the DIMS + ATP group showed a smaller change in axial length and myopia progression than the DIMS and SV groups (P < 0.05). Hence, combination treatment with DIMS and 0.01% ATP might be a better choice for children with myopia.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the efficacy of myopia control by comparing the orthokeratology (Ortho-K) treated eyes and the emmetropic contralateral eyes in unilateral myopic children, and to identify the inter-individual influence factors. METHOD In this retrospective study, 1566 medical records of children wearing Ortho-K lens were reviewed, and 62 children who received monocular Ortho-K lens for more than 1 year were analyzed. The change in axial length (AL) of the Ortho-K eyes and the emmetropic contralateral eyes was recorded. To evaluate the absolute and relative efficacy of myopia control, the intra-bilateral absolute reduction in AL growth (ibARAL) and the intra-bilateral relative reduction in AL growth (ibRRAL) were calculated as main outcomes. Association of the AL elongation, ibARAL and ibRRAL with age, sex and ocular parameters was analyzed by correlation analysis and generalized estimating equation (GEE) analysis. RESULT The average initial wearing age was 10.76 ± 1.45 (ranged 8.5 to 15.8). The average baseline SER was - 2.15 ± 1.03 (ranged - 5.25 to -1.00) D in the Ortho-K eyes and - 0.01 ± 0.40 (ranged - 0.75 to 0.75) D in the contralateral eyes. At the 1-year follow-up, the average increased AL was significantly less in the Ortho-K eyes (0.07 ± 0.18 mm) than in the fellow eyes (0.48 ± 0.24 mm) (p < 0.001). The mean ibARAL was 0.41 ± 0.30 mm, and the mean ibRRAL was 83.4%±56.3%. In the GEE model, the AL change in Ortho-K eyes (β = 0.051, p = 0.009, 95%CI: 0.012 to 0.090), the ibARAL (β= -0.153, p = 0.000, 95%CI: -0.228 to -0.078) and the ibRRAL (β= -0.196, p = 0.020, 95%CI: -0.361 to -0.030) were independently associated with the spherical equivalent refraction (SER) of the Ortho-K eyes, after adjusting for age, sex, and keratometry. CONCLUSION In our study, the Ortho-K treatment was efficacious in controlling axial length growth in the monocular orthokeratology treated unilateral myopic eyes. The efficacy increased when the myopia was more severe. In the children from 8 to 16 years old, the effectiveness was independent of age and sex.

Abstract
Abstract
Purpose
To evaluate the effect of low-dose atropine eyedrops on pupil metrics.
Methods
This study was based on a randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled, and cross-over trial in mainland China. In phase 1, subjects received 0.01% atropine or placebo once nightly. After 1 year, the atropine group switched to placebo (atropine-placebo group), and the placebo group switched to atropine (placebo-atropine group). Ocular parameters were measured at the crossover time point (at the 12th month) and the 18th month.
Results
Of 105 subjects who completed the study, 48 and 57 children were allocated into the atropine-placebo and placebo-atropine groups, respectively. After cessation, the photopic pupil diameter (PD) and mesopic PD both decreased (− 0.46 ± 0.47 mm, P < 0.001; − 0.30 ± 0.74 mm, P = 0.008), and the constriction ratio (CR, %) increased (4.39 ± 7.54, P < 0.001) compared with values at the crossover time point of the atropine-placebo group; pupil metrics of the atropine-placebo group had no difference from the values at the crossover time point of the placebo-atropine group. After 6 months of treatment, the photopic PD and the mesopic PD increased (0.54 ± 0.67 mm, P < 0.001; 0.53 ± 0.89 mm, P < 0.001), the CR (%) decreased (− 2.53 ± 8.64, P < 0.001) compared with values at the crossover time point of the placebo-atropine group. There was no significant relationship between pupil metrics and myopia progression during 0.01% atropine treatment.
Conclusion
Pupil metrics and the CR could return to pre-atropine levels after cessation. Pupil metrics had no significant effect on myopia progression during treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate the additive effects of orthokeratology (OK) lenses and 0.01% atropine on slowing axial elongation in myopic children. METHODS A prospective, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial was conducted over a 12-month period. Sixty children aged 8 to 12 years with spherical equivalent refraction from - 1.00 to -4.00 D who had been wearing OK lenses successfully for 2 months (as baseline) were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to combination group (combination of OK lens and 0.01% atropine eye drops) and control group (combination of OK lens and placebo). The primary outcome was change in axial length, along with secondary outcomes including change in pupil diameter (PD) and accommodative amplitude (AMP) at 12 months (measured at 4-month intervals). RESULTS After 12 months, the overall axial elongation was 0.10 ± 0.14 mm and 0.20 ± 0.15 mm (p = 0.01) in the combination and control groups, respectively. The change in axial length in the two groups showed significant differences only in the first four months (median [Q1, Q3] (95% CI), -0.01 mm [-0.07, 0.05] (-0.06, 0.04) vs. 0.04 mm [0.00, 0.10] (0.02, 0.09); p = 0.04), but no difference thereafter. Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that the axial elongation was significantly slower in the combination group than in the control group (standard β = -0.10, p = 0.02). PD significantly increased by 0.45 mm [0.20, 0.68] at the 4th month visit (p < 0.001) and then remained stable in the combination group. The PD in the control group and AMP in the two groups remained stable from baseline to 12 months (all p > 0.05). CONCLUSION The combination therapy was more effective than the OK lens alone in slowing axial elongation after 12 months of treatment, and mainly in the first 4 months.

Abstract
Objective To study the effect of treatment zone (TZ) decentration on axial length growth (ALG) in adolescents after wearing the orthokeratology lenses (OK lenses). Materials and methods This retrospective clinical study selected 251 adolescents who were fitted OK lenses at the Clinical College of Ophthalmology, Tianjin Medical University (Tianjin, China) from January 2018–December 2018 and wore them continuously for >12 months. The age of the subjects was 8–15 years, spherical equivalent (SE): −1.00 to −5.00 diopter (D), and astigmatism ≤ 1.50 D. The corneal topography were recorded at baseline and 1-, 6-, and 12-month visits, and the axial length (AL) were recorded at baseline and 6-, 12-month visits. The data of the right eye were collected for statistical analysis. Results The subjects were divided into three groups according to the decentration distance of the TZ after wearing lenses for 1 month: 56 cases in the mild (<0.5 mm), 110 in the moderate (0.5–1.0 mm), and 85 in the severe decentration group (>1.0 mm). A significant difference was detected in the ALG between the three groups after wearing lenses for 6 and 12 months (F = 10.223, P < 0.001; F = 13.380, P < 0.001, respectively). Among these, the 6- and 12-month ALG of the mild decentration group was significantly higher than that of the other two groups. Multivariable linear regression analysis showed that age, baseline SE, and 1-month decentration distance associated with the 12-month ALG (P < 0.001, P < 0.001, and P = 0.001, respectively). Conclusion The decentration of the TZ of the OK lens affected the growth of the AL in adolescents, i.e., the greater the decentration, the slower the ALG.

Abstract
Objectives Myopia is a major public health problem and it is essential to find safe and effective means to control its progression. The study design and baseline data are presented for a one-year prospective, double-masked, crossover, randomized clinical trial evaluating the efficacy of single vision spectacle lenses with concentric rings of slightly aspherical contiguous lenslets technology (SAL) on myopia control. Methods One hundred 8- to 13-year old Chinese children with a refractive error of -0.75 D to -4.75 D were assigned to two groups. In Group 1, SAL and single vision lenses were each worn for 6 months, and Group 2 wore the lenses in the reversed order. Primary outcomes are axial length and spherical equivalent of cycloplegic refractive error. Secondary outcomes included corneal thickness, anterior chamber depth, lens thickness, visual acuity, and lens adaptation. Results No significant differences in baseline parameters (cycloplegic spherical equivalent, axial length, age) were found between groups (0.49 < p < 0.94). All children adapted well to the test lenses and there was no significant difference in visual acuity between the SAL and single vision lenses (p = 0.27). Conclusions The children in the two well balanced groups had comparable visual acuity and adapted well to the test lenses. These results imply that visual acuity can be well improved by SAL lenses. Clear visual acuity provides the assurance for good compliance in this longitudinal study.

Abstract
Purpose To investigate the effect of corneal refractive power area changes on myopia progression during orthokeratology. Methods One hundred and sixteen children who met the inclusion criteria and insisted on wearing orthokeratology lenses for two years were retrospectively assessed. Seventy-two children with the orthokeratology lens decentration distance more than 0.5 mm but less than 1.5 mm were in the decentered group, and forty-four children with the orthokeratology lens decentration distance less than 0.5 mm were in the centric group. The orthokeratology decentration via tangential difference topography was analyzed. This study calculated the different power areas in the central 4 mm pupillary area by axial-difference corneal topography, compared the differences of the different power areas between these two groups, and evaluated the relationships between corneal positive-power area, orthokeratology decentration, and AL changes. Results The axial length changes of the centric group presented a statistical difference with the decentered group (0.52 ± 0.37 mm vs. 0.38 ± 0.26 mm; t = 2.403, p=0.018). For all children, both the AL changes (0.43 ± 0.31 mm) and decentration distance (0.64 ± 0.33 mm) showed a significant correlation with the positive-power area (r = −0.366, p < 0.001 and r = 0.624, p < 0.001); AL changes also presented a statistical correlation with decentration distance (r = −0.343, p < 0.001), baseline age (r = −0.329, p < 0.001), and baseline spherical equivalent refractive power (r = 0.335, p < 0.001). In the centric group and decentered group, the AL changes (centric group: r = −0.319, p=0.035; decentered group: r = −0.332, p=0.04) and decentration distance (centric group: r = 0.462, p=0.002; decentered group: r = 0.524, p < 0.001) had a significant correlation with the positive-power area yet. In the multiple regression analysis, AL changes were increased with less baseline age (beta, 0.015; p < 0.001), positive-power area (beta, 0.021; p=0.002), and larger SER (beta, 0.025; p=0.018). Conclusions The corneal positive-power area had a positive impact on affirming AL changes during orthokeratology. This area might be formed by lens decentration to provide an additional myopia-defocusing influence on the retina to achieve better myopia control.

Abstract
Background To evaluate changes in corneal biomechanical properties after long-term orthokeratology (OK) treatment and the factors affecting treatment outcomes. Methods Twenty-four myopic teenagers who wore OK lenses for more than 1 year were included. Twenty-three individuals of the same age and with the same spherical equivalent wearing single-vision spectacles (SVS) were enrolled as controls. After routine eye examinations, corneal biomechanical properties and axial length were measured. Parameters were compared between groups. Results Less axial elongation (AE) occurred in the OK group (P = 0.021). The OK group experienced a statistically significant decrease in the A1 deformation amplitude (P = 0.02), whole eye movement maximum (P = 0.026), and Ambrósio’s relational thickness to the horizontal profile (ARTh) (P < 0.001), and a statistically significant increase in the pachyslope (P < 0.001) and Corvis biomechanical index (P < 0.001). Smaller ARTh and a larger highest concavity deflection area resulted in a better refractive state. The inhibitory effect of AE was better for older patients with smaller ARTh. Conclusions Long-term OK treatment slowed myopia progression by reshaping the cornea. Smaller ARTh after OK lens wear indicated a better refractive state and slower AE and could predict OK lens treatment outcomes.

[PMID: 35659643 PMCID: PMC9164339 DOI: 10.1186/s12886-022-02461-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2021] [Accepted: 05/18/2022] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose To determine the pattern of axial variation in subjects with initial shortened axial length during the entire period of orthokeratology and to discuss the possibility of shortened AL after one month of orthokeratology becoming a predictor of myopia control. Method This study retrospectively included 106 children with myopia aged 8 to 14 wearing OK lenses. Fifty-four eyes with shortened axial length (AL) at the first-month visit were enrolled in the axial length shortening (ALS) group, and fifty-two eyes without shortened AL were enrolled in the no axial length shortening (NALS) group. Axial length and refractive error at baseline and within the entire period of orthokeratology (20 months), including fitting, washout period and re-wear, were measured. Eighty-five children who started wearing single vision spectacle were also included as a control group. Results In the ALS group, AL became longer after shortening and slowly exceeded baseline; afterward, AL experienced a rebound during the washout period and shortened again if OK lenses were re-worn. After washout period, significant difference in AL (ALS:0.28 ± 0.19 mm, NALS: 0.52 ± 0.17 mm) and spherical equivalent (ALS:-0.43 ± 0.44D, NALS:-0.91 ± 0.40D) between the two groups were found(P<0.05). The changes in AL and SE were both significantly correlated with the changes in AL at the first-month visit (P<0.05). Conclusion After AL is shortened in the initial stage of orthokeratology, it will experience a rapid rebound during the washout period, and the shortening can reappear when re-wearing OK lenses. Hence, the evaluation of orthokeratology will be more objective and accurate after the wash-out period. In addition, the existence and degree of axial shortening can be used as a predictor of long-term myopia development.

Ophthalmic Physiol Opt 2022; 42:1124-1132. [PMID: 35598145 PMCID: PMC9544447 DOI: 10.1111/opo.12996] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2021] [Revised: 04/13/2022] [Accepted: 04/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate whether the treatment zone (TZ) decentration in orthokeratology (OK) lenses affects retinal expansion in Chinese children with myopia. METHODS Children aged 8 to 13 years (n = 30) were assessed over 13 months comprising 12 months of OK lens wear followed by discontinuation of lens wear for 1 month. Corneal topography was measured at 0, 1, 3, 6, 9, 12 and 13 months. TZ decentration of the OK lens was calculated, and subjects were subdivided into a small decentration group (group S) and a large decentration group (group L) based on the median value of the weighted average decentration (dave ). Central axial length (AL) and peripheral eye lengths (PELs) at the central retina, as well as 10°, 20° and 30° nasally and temporally were measured at 0 and 13 months under cycloplegia. Second-order polynomial (y = ax2 + bx + c) and linear fits (y = Kx + B) were applied to the peripheral relative eye length (PREL), and the coefficients 'a' and 'K' were used to describe the shape of the eye. RESULTS Mean AL growth for one year was 0.28 ± 0.17 mm. In a multiple linear regression model, AL elongation was related to the baseline age (β = -0.41, p = 0.01) and the dave (β = -0.37, p = 0.03) (R2 = 0.34, p = 0.002). When compared with smaller dave (0.45 ± 0.15 mm), a larger dave (0.89 ± 0.17 mm) was associated with slower ocular growth (central: 0.20 ± 0.13 mm vs. 0.35 ± 0.17 mm, p = 0.009; 10° nasal: 0.26 ± 0.18 mm vs. 0.45 ± 0.21 mm, p = 0.02; 10° temporal: 0.17 ± 0.14 mm vs. 0.32 ± 0.19 mm, p = 0.02) and more oblate retina shape ('a': -0.13 ± 0.02 vs. -0.14 ± 0.02, p = 0.02; Knasal : 0.35 ± 0.11 vs. 0.39 ± 0.09, p = 0.02; Ktemporal : -0.42 ± 0.08 vs. -0.46 ± 0.08, p = 0.004). CONCLUSIONS Greater TZ decentration with the use of OK lenses was associated with slower axial growth and a more oblate retinal shape. TZ decentration caused local defocusing changes, which may inhibit myopic progression. These findings may have important implications for improving optical designs for myopia control.

Abstract
Background To study the baseline factors that related to faster axial elongation after orthokeratology (OK) treatment and the characteristics of cases with axial length decrease in a group of myopia children. Methods This is a retrospective study. The records of 73 children who had wear OK lens for at least one year were reviewed. Only the data of right eyes were included. Baseline data included: age, gender, parental myopia, refractive error, corneal power, central corneal thickness, axial length and anterior chamber depth. Corneal power, central corneal thickness, anterior chamber depth and axial length after one-year of OK lens wear were also collected. The related factors affecting axial length change were analyzed. A comparison was made on the cases of axial length increase and axial length decrease. Results Of the 73 eyes, axial length increased by 0.18 ± 0.17 mm (P < 0.001) after one year of OK lens wear. Correlation analysis showed that one-year axial length change was negatively correlated with age and positively correlated with the parental myopia and baseline myopia. Stepwise multiple linear regression analysis showed that the factors associated with faster axial elongation were lower baseline myopic spherical equivalent (P = 0.018), higher parental myopia degree (P = 0.026), and younger age at the onset of lens wear. (P = 0.039). Nine eyes showed negative axial growth (−0.06 ± 0.04 mm), and had older initial age of lens wear, higher baseline myopic spherical equivalent, and lager baseline corneal power, when compared with cases of axial length increase. Conclusions Myopia children with lower baseline myopic spherical equivalent, younger initial age and higher parental myopia had faster axial elongation after orthokeratology treatment. More aggressive treatment should be considered. In children with slow axial elongation, OK lens wear may lead to negative axial growth. Whether there are reasons other than central corneal thinning and choroidal thickening needs further study.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate which baseline factors are predictive for success in controlling myopia progression in a group of children wearing MiSight Contact Lens (CLs). METHODS Myopic patients (n=41) fitted with MiSight CLs and followed up two years were included in this study. Bivariate analysis, a logistic regression analysis (LG) and a decision tree (DT) approach were used to screen for the factors influencing the success of the treatment. To assess the response, axial length (AL) changes were considered as main variable. Patients were classified based on a specific range of change of axial length at the end of each year of treatment as "responders" (R) (AL change <0.11mm/per year) and "non-responders" (NR) (AL change ≥0.11mm/per year). RESULTS Of a total of forty-one Caucasian patients treated with MiSight CLs, 21 and 16 were considered responders in the first and the second year of follow-up, respectively. LG analysis showed that the only factor associated with smaller axial length growth was more time spent outdoors (p=0.0079) in the first year of treatment. The decision tree analysis showed that in the responding group spending more than 3 and 4h outdoors per week was associated with the best response in the first year and in the second year of treatment respectively. CONCLUSIONS The LR and the DT approach of this pilot study identifies time spent outdoors as a main factor in controlling axial eye growth in children treated with MiSight CLs.

Abstract
PURPOSE Myopia treatment using orthokeratology (ortho-k) slows myopia progression. However, it is not equally effective in all patients. We aimed to predict the treatment effect of ortho-k using a machine-learning-assisted (ML) prediction model. METHODS Of the 119 patients who started ortho-k treatment between January 1, 2019, and January 1, 2022, 91 met the inclusion criteria and were included in the model. Ocular parameters and clinical characteristics were collected. A logistic regression model with least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression was used to select factors associated with the treatment effect. RESULTS Age, baseline axial length, pupil diameter, lens wearing time, time spent outdoors, time spent on near work, white-to-white distance, anterior corneal flat keratometry, and posterior corneal astigmatism were selected in the model (aera under curve: 0.949). The decision curve analysis showed beneficial effects. The C-statistic of the predictive model was 0.821 (95% CI: 0.815, 0.827). CONCLUSION Ocular parameters and clinical characteristics were used to predict the treatment effect of ortho-k. This ML-assisted model may assist ophthalmologists in making clinical decisions for patients, improving myopia control, and predicting the clinical effect of ortho-k treatment via a retrospective non-intervention trial.

Abstract
Purpose Given the robust effectiveness of inhibiting myopia progression, orthokeratology has gained increasing popularity worldwide. However, identifying the boundary and the center of reshaped corneal area (i.e., treatment zone) is the main challenging task in evaluating the performance of orthokeratology. Here we present automated deep learning algorithms to solve the challenges. Methods A total of 6328 corneal topographical maps, including 2996 axial subtractive maps and 3332 tangential subtractive maps, were collected from 2044 myopic patients who received orthokeratology. The boundary and the center of the treatment zones were annotated by experts as ground truths using axial subtractive maps and tangential subtractive maps, respectively. The algorithms based on neural network structures of fully convolutional networks (FCNs) and convolutional neural networks (CNNs) were developed to automatically identify the boundary and the center of the treatment zone, respectively. Results The algorithm of FCNs identified the treatment zone boundaries with an accuracy intersection over union (IoU) of 0.90 ± 0.06 (mean ± SD; range, 0.60-0.97). The algorithm of CNNs also identified the treatment zone centers with an average deviation of 0.22 ± 0.22 mm (range, 0.01-1.66 mm). Conclusions These results show that a deep learning-based solution is able to provide an automatic and accurate tool to accomplish the two main challenges of orthokeratology. Translational Relevance Deep learning in orthokeratology can shorten the time while maintaining accurate results in clinical practice, which enables clinicians to help more patients daily.

Abstract
AIMS Considering individual variability in regards to the effects of orthokeratology (ortho-k) on myopia progression and controversies regarding the precise underlying mechanism, the aim of this study was to investigate several ocular measurements associated with axial length (AL) growth in children wearing ortho-k lenses. METHODS In this retrospective chart review, medical records of 53 Chinese children who wore ortho-k lenses over the course of 12 months were reviewed. Baseline variables included age at initiation of ortho-k wear, refractive error (spherical equivalent, SE), central corneal thickness (CCT), and flat and steep keratometry of corneal principal meridians. The change of anterior chamber depth (ACD) and the change of crystalline lens thickness (CLT) between baseline and the 12-month follow-up were also analyzed. The contributions of all analyzed variables to AL change were assessed using univariate and multivariate regression analyses. RESULTS Initially, the results of paired t-test showed that CLT and AL were significantly increased after 12 months of ortho-k wear compared with that at baseline (P = 0.001 and < 0.001). The ACD did not change significantly after 12 months compared with that at baseline (P = 0.491). Subsequently, univariate analyses showed that a reduced rate of AL elongation was found in children who were older age at initiation of ortho-k wear (P = 0.028), had greater SE (higher degree of myopia) at baseline (p = 0.006), had thicker CCT at baseline (P = 0.04), and had greater increase of CLT (P = 0.001) in 12 months. At last, only greater SE (higher degree of myopia) and greater increase of CLT were associated with smaller increases of AL in multivariable analyses, (P = 0.003 and 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Both CLT and AL were significantly increased in children with overnight ortho-k wear after 12 months of follow-up. Greater baseline SE and greater increase of CLT were associated with less increase in AL during ortho-k wear in children with myopia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate whether the treatment zone size (TZS) and treatment zone decentration (TZD) will affect the axial elongation in myopic children undergoing orthokeratology treatment. METHODS A self-controlled retrospective study was conducted on 352 children who met the inclusion criteria. Axial length was measured before and at 12 months after the initial lens wear. Corneal topography was measured at baseline and at each follow-up after lens wear. The Corneal topography obtained from the 12-month visit was used to quantify TZS and TZD for each subject. Cycloplegic refraction was required for all children before fitting the orthokeratology lenses. RESULTS Axial elongation was significantly associated with age, baseline spherical equivalent (SE), TZS, and TZD with univariate linear regression. In groups with both small and large TZS, axial elongation was significantly decreased with large TZD (both P < 0.01). In groups with both small and large TZD, axial elongation was significantly decreased with small TZS (P = 0.03 for small TZD, P = 0.01 for large TZD). Age, SE, and TZD were significantly associated with axial elongation in multiple regression (all P < 0.01). CONCLUSION Relatively smaller TZS and larger TZD may be beneficial in slowing myopia progression in children with orthokeratology treatment.

Abstract
CLINICAL RELEVANCE The effects of orthokeratology (Ortho-K) on myopic eyes was examined, providing confidence to optometrists applying Ortho-K to high myopic and anisometropic children. BACKGROUND Ortho-K slows the progression of low to moderate myopia. The effectiveness of Ortho-K in Chinese children with fellow moderate and high myopic eyes was determined. METHODS This retrospective study included female (n = 35) and male (n = 30) children with moderate myopia in one eye (spherical equivalent refractive (SER) error ≤ -3.00 D, but > -6.00 D) and high myopia in the contralateral eye (SER error ≤ -6.00 D). Three age groups were included: 7-10-years (n = 18), 11-12-years (n = 21), and 13-15-years (n = 26). Baseline refraction and axial lengths were measured before fitting Ortho-K lenses worn nightly for at least eight-hours, and after one-year. RESULTS Axial length increased 0.14 ± 0.13-mm (mean ± standard deviation) and 0.13 ± 0.16-mm in the moderate and high myopic groups respectively (p = 0.78). For females, axial elongation in the moderate and high myopic groups was 0.10 and 0.08-mm respectively. For males, it was 0.19-mm in both groups. Axial elongation in 7-10-year-old children with moderate and high myopic eyes was 0.24 ± 0.14 and 0.21 ± 0.15-mm respectively. In 11-12-year-old children, it was 0.12-mm in both myopic groups. In 13-15-year-old children, it was 0.09-mm in both groups. In moderate myopic eyes, axial elongation in the youngest group was greater than the other two age groups (p < 0.01). In high myopic eyes, there were no differences among the age groups (p = 0.06). CONCLUSIONS Ortho-K was equally effective in reducing myopic progression in moderate and in contralateral high myopic eyes. Axial elongation was greater for males than females. For both sexes, it decreased at the same rate with increasing age, regardless of difference in myopia.

Abstract
PURPOSE To develop and validate a standardized prediction model aiming at 1-year axial length elongation and to guide the orthokeratology lens practice. METHODS This retrospective study was based on medical records of myopic children treated with orthokeratology. Individuals aged 8-15 years (n = 1261) were included and divided into the primary cohort (n = 757) and validation cohort (n = 504). Feature selection was primarily performed to sort out influential predictors by high-throughput extraction. Then, the prediction model was developed using multivariable linear regression analysis completed by backward stepwise selection. Finally, the validation of the prediction model was performed by evaluation metrics (mean-square error, root-mean-square error, mean absolute error and R ad 2 ). RESULTS No significant difference was found between primary and validation cohort (all p > 0.05). After the feature selection, the crude model was adjusted by demographic information in multivariable linear regression analysis, and five final predictors were identified (all p < 0.01). The interaction effect of age with 1-month change of zone-3 mm flat K was detected (p < 0.01); hence, two final prediction models were developed based on two age subgroups. The validation proved an acceptable performance. CONCLUSION An effective multivariable prediction model aiming at 1-year axial length elongation was developed and validated. It can potentially help clinicians to predict orthokeratology efficacy and make valid adjustments. The influential variables revealed in this model can also provide designers directions to optimize the design of lens to improve the efficacy of myopia control.

Abstract
Purpose: To explore how Fourier parameters are associated with axial length growth (ALG) and clinical parameters in children who underwent orthokeratology.Materials and Methods: A total of 267 children received orthokeratology. Baseline cycloplegic autorefraction was performed. Axial length was measured at baseline and one year after the lens dispatch, and the difference was defined as ALG. Corneal topography was performed at the same two visits. Central treatment zone (CTZ) was identified from the difference between the two tangential maps, and its center distance to corneal center was defined as decentration. A relative refractive corneal power (RCRP) map was derived by subtracting the center value from every point on the one-year axial map. It was decomposed into 3 Fourier components: a mean (F0), a single-cycle sinewave (F1), and a double-cycle sinewave (F2). Linear regressions were used to reveal the association between ALG and these parameters.Results: At baseline, the age was 10.18 ± 1.48 year, spherical equivalent (SE) was - 3.10 ± 1.15D, astigmatism was 1.17 ± 0.58D, and axial length was 24.69 ± 0.81 mm. The mean ALG was 0.181 ± 0.22 mm. In multiple regression, ALG was negatively associated with F1 (p < .001), not F0 and F2. Amplitude-wise, F0 and F1 were correlated with decentration (p < .01) and SE (p < .01), and F2 was associated with astigmatism (p < .001). Direction-wise, F1 was correlated with decentration (p < .001) and F2 was associated with astigmatism (p < .001).Conclusions: Among Fourier parameters, F0 and F1 were negatively associated with ALG in myopic children undergoing orthokeratology. Their associations to SE and CTZ decentration may partially explain the effect on ALG retardation.

Abstract
Three hundred and twenty-eight myopic children, randomized to use either 0.01% (N = 166) or 0.02% (N = 162) atropine were enrolled in this study. Gender, age, body mass index(BMI), parental myopia status, atropine concentration used, pupil diameter, amplitude of accommodation, spherical equivalent refractive error (SER), anterior chamber depth (ACD) and axial length (AL) were collected at baseline and 1 year after using atropine. Rapid AL elongation was defined as > 0.36 mm growth per year. Univariate analyses showed that children with rapid AL elongation tend to be younger, have a smaller BMI, use of 0.01% atropine, narrow ACD, lower SER, shorter AL, smaller change in pupil diameter between 1 year and baseline (all P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analyses confirmed that rapid AL elongation was associated with children that were younger at baseline (P < 0.0001), use of 0.01% atropine (P = 0.04), a shorter baseline AL (P = 0.03) and a smaller change in pupil diameter between 1 year and baseline (P = 0.04). Younger children with shorter AL at baseline, less change in their pupil diameter with atropine treatment and using the lower of the two atropine concentrations may undergo rapid AL elongation over a 12 months myopia control treatment period.

Abstract
The prevalence of myopia is increasing extensively worldwide. The number of people with myopia in 2020 is predicted to be 2.6 billion globally, which is expected to rise up to 4.9 billion by 2050, unless preventive actions and interventions are taken. The number of individuals with high myopia is also increasing substantially and pathological myopia is predicted to become the most common cause of irreversible vision impairment and blindness worldwide and also in Europe. These prevalence estimates indicate the importance of reducing the burden of myopia by means of myopia control interventions to prevent myopia onset and to slow down myopia progression. Due to the urgency of the situation, the European Society of Ophthalmology decided to publish this update of the current information and guidance on management of myopia. The pathogenesis and genetics of myopia are also summarized and epidemiology, risk factors, preventive and treatment options are discussed in details.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE This pilot study compared subjective and objective vision of children wearing single-vision and +2.00, +3.00, and +4.00 D add power soft multifocal contact lenses to determine whether the higher add power-thought to provide better myopia control-resulted in visual compromise. PURPOSE This study aimed to determine the maximum add power children wearing center-distance soft multifocal contact lenses could accept objectively and subjectively. METHODS Myopic children were assigned in random order to wear omafilcon A single-vision or multifocal "D" contact lenses with +2.00, +3.00, or +4.00 D add power for 1 week each. High-contrast distance and near visual acuity, low-contrast distance visual acuity, and contrast sensitivity were measured at each visit along with a quality of vision questionnaire to assess their vision. The Friedman test was performed to evaluate the impact of add power on all outcome measures. RESULTS Eleven subjects were enrolled, and nine subjects completed the study. The median age of completed subjects was 11 years. Median logMAR low-contrast distance visual acuity was reduced in the +3.00 (+0.20) and +4.00 (+0.28) D add lenses compared with the +2.00 (+0.16) D add and single-vision lenses (+0.10, P < .001). All three multifocal lenses resulted in reduced contrast sensitivity (+1.35 to +1.40) compared with single-vision lenses (+1.60, P < .001). In general, +3.00 and +4.00 D add lenses resulted in worse glare/starbursts, ghost images, computer vision, changing fixation distance, and overall vision, but results varied. There were no differences among the lenses with respect to subjective assessments of distance vision, near vision, strain or tiredness, contact lens comfort, or sporting activities. CONCLUSIONS The +3.00 D and higher add powers result in more objective and subjective vision-related issues than single-vision lenses, but the +2.00 D add multifocal lenses were well tolerated.

Abstract
Purpose To investigate changes in blur detection sensitivity in children using orthokeratology (Ortho-K) and explore the relationships between blur detection thresholds (BDTs) and aberrations and accommodative function. Methods Thirty-two children aged 8–14 years old who underwent Ortho-K treatment participated in and completed this study. Their BDTs, aberrations, and accommodative responses (ARs) were measured before and after a month of Ortho-K treatment. A two forced-choice double-staircase procedure with varying extents of blur in three images (Tumbling Es, Lena, and Street View) was used to measure the BDTs. The participants were required to judge whether the images looked blurry. The BDT of each of the images (BDT_Es, BDT_Lena, and BDT_Street) was the average value of the last three reversals. The accommodative lag was quantified by the difference between the AR and the accommodative demand (AD). Changes in the BDTs, aberrations, and accommodative lags and their relationships were analyzed. Results After a month of wearing Ortho-K lenses, the children’s BDT_Es and BDT_Lena values decreased, the aberrations increased significantly (for all, P ≤0.050), and the accommodative lag decreased to a certain extent [T(31) = 2.029, P = 0.051]. Before Ortho-K treatment, higher-order aberrations (HOAs) were related to BDT_Lena (r = 0.463, P = 0.008) and the accommodative lag was related to BDT_Es (r = −0.356, P = −0.046). After one month, no significant correlations were found between the BDTs and aberrations or accommodative lags, as well as between the variations of them (for all, P ≥ 0.069). Conclusion Ortho-K treatment increased the children’s level of blur detection sensitivity, which may have contributed to their good visual acuity.
