Abstract
BACKGROUND A new keratometric routine that employs power vector management for manual keratometers is described. This study evaluates the agreement of the new proposed keratometric technique with the classical one. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The applicability of a new keratometric routine was verified using Helmholtz's and Javal's keratometers. Results were obtained by two different and well-trained examiners over two different samples, one including 65 and the other 74 eyes, respectively. Both conventional keratometry and the newly proposed routine (named vecto-keratometry) were used in each eye to obtain the results. The clinical agreement between the methods was evaluated using Bland-Altman and Passing-Bablok analysis. RESULTS For Helmholtz's keratometer, Bland-Altman plots showed good agreement between methods for both astigmatic components being J0 = 0.04 ± 0.20 D and J45 = -0.07 ± 0.17 D. For Javal's keratometer, Passing-Bablok regression test determined regression line for J0 difference as y0 = 1.03, confidence interval: [0.98, 1.10] and regression line for J45 difference as y45 = 0.97, confidence interval: [0.83, 1.12]. CONCLUSIONS Vecto-keratometry provides accurate clinical results. It has been demonstrated that there are no significant differences between methods in any of the power vector astigmatic components; thus, both methods can be applied interchangeably.

Abstract
Purpose There has been little research on myopia management options for patients with astigmatism. This study quantified changes in peripheral refraction induced by toric orthokeratology (TOK) and soft toric multifocal (STM) contact lenses. Methods Thirty adults with refractive error of plano to −5.00 D (sphere) and −1.25 to −3.50 D (cylinder) were enrolled. Cycloplegic autorefraction was measured centrally, ±20 degrees, and ±30 degrees from the line of sight nasally (N) and temporally (T) on the retina. Measurements were made at baseline, after 10 ± 2 days of TOK wear (without lenses on eye), and after 10 ± 2 days of STM wear (with lenses on the eyes) and compared with repeated-measures analysis of variance. Results Compared to baseline, TOK induced a myopic shift in defocus (M) at all locations (all P < 0.01), but STM only induced a myopic shift at 20 T in both eyes and 30 N/T in the left eye (all P < 0.01). TOK resulted in more myopic defocus than STM at all locations (all P < 0.05) except 20 T in the left eye. TOK induced more J0 astigmatism at all locations (all P < 0.02), except 20 N in the right eye; J0 with STM was different than baseline at 20 N in both eyes and 30 N in the right eye (all P < 0.02). TOK induced more J0 astigmatism than STM at all locations (all P < 0.01), except 20 T in the left eye. Differences in J45 astigmatism, when significant, were clinically small. Conclusions Greater amounts of peripheral myopic defocus and J0 astigmatism were induced by TOK compared to STM, which may influence efficacy for myopia management.

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
OBJECTIVES Fitting philosophies for toric orthokeratology are based on elevation or corneal astigmatism, but it is unclear which is more effective. The purpose of this analysis was to further understand corneal shape and the relationship between peripheral elevation and central astigmatism in moderate-to-high astigmats. METHODS Corneal tomography was measured three times on the right eyes of 25 moderate-to-high refractive myopic astigmatic adults. Corneal astigmatism and elevation were calculated at 4-, 6-, and 8-mm chords. Subjects were fitted with toric orthokeratology lenses following the manufacturer's guidelines based on elevation. Twenty subjects completed 10 days of wear. A masked examiner assessed movement and centration via slitlamp videos and quantified treatment zone and decentration from tangential power difference tomography maps. Correlations between variables were assessed. RESULTS Average corneal astigmatism was 2.20±0.70 DC and peripheral elevation was 50.88±18.92 μm and they were strongly correlated (4 mm R2=0.96, 6 mm R2=0.92, 8 mm R2=0.86, all P<0.001). Each diopter of astigmatism equated to 25 μm of elevation at an 8-mm chord. Via slitlamp, average treatment zone area was 12.73±4.62 mm2 and 13 lenses decentered. From tomography, average treatment zone area was 7.16±2.56 mm2 and 17 were decentered. Tomography treatment zone area was negatively correlated with central corneal astigmatism (R2=0.60) and elevation at an 8-mm chord (R2=0.64, both P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS For tomography images, central corneal astigmatism was highly correlated with peripheral elevation and may be a more expedient measure for clinical use. Treatment area decreased as corneal astigmatism and elevation increased.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of two months of orthokeratology (OK) treatment in the accommodative response of young adult myopes. Twenty eyes (21.8 ± 1.8 years) were fitted with the Paragon CRT® 100 LENS to treat myopia between −1.00 and −2.00 D. Low- and high-contrast visual acuity (LCDVA and HCDVA), central objective refraction, light disturbance (LD), and objective accommodative response (using the Grand Seiko WAM-5500 open-field autorefractometer coupled with a Badal system) were measured at baseline (BL) before lens wear and after 1, 15, 30, and 60 nights of OK. Refractive error correction was achieved during the first fifty days of OK lens wear, with minimal changes afterwards. LD analysis showed a transient increase followed by a reduction to baseline levels over the first 30 nights of treatment. The accommodative response was lower than expected for all target vergences in all visits (BL: 0.61 D at 1.00 D to 0.96 D at 5.00 D; 60 N: 0.36 D at 1.00 D to 0.79 D at 5.00 D). On average, the accommodative lag decreases over time with OK lens wear. However, these differences were not statistically significant (p > 0.050, repeated-measures ANOVA and Friedman test). This shows that overnight OK treatment does not affect objectively measured the accommodative response of young, low myopic eyes after two months of treatment stabilization.

Abstract
Purpose This retrospective study aimed at comparing the efficacy and safety of toric and spherical orthokeratology lenses in the treatment of patients with moderate to high astigmatism. Methods Fifty adolescents with myopia and moderate to high astigmatism (≥1.50 D) who underwent consecutive orthokeratology treatment for at least 1 year were included in this study. The toric group comprised 25 subjects (25 eyes, 11 M, 14 F; age, 10.67 ± 1.46 years) who were fitted with toric orthokeratology lenses. The spherical group comprised 25 subjects (25 subjects, 11 M, 14 F; age, 11.45 ± 1.63 years) who were fitted with traditional spherical orthokeratology lenses as a control. Corneal topography, visual acuity, axial length, and slit-lamp examinations were performed to determine the differences between these two groups. The corneal tangential difference mapping was conducted between baseline and every subsequent visit to calculate the magnitude of lens decentration. The corrective effect of ortho-K lens was measured by using the corneal axial difference map. Results The mean decentration and its vertical vector were significantly less in the toric group than in the spherical group after 1 month of lens wear. In toric group, the corneal astigmatism decreased from 1.85 ± 0.31 D at baseline to 1.45 ± 0.85 D after the first month of wear. There was a significant linear correlation between the change in corneal astigmatism and lens decentration in the toric group from 1 month to 1 year (Y = 3.268 ∗ X + 0.9182, R 2 = 0.5035, p < 0.0001 (X: lens decentration; Y: astigmatic changes)). There were no significant differences in the post-OK uncorrected visual acuity, myopia control, or ocular health between the toric and spherical groups. Conclusion The toric orthokeratology lens design can effectively reduce the lens decentration magnitude and CJ180 from 1-month visit to 12-month visit of patients with high or moderate corneal astigmatism. Meanwhile, there was no significant difference in visual acuity, myopia control, and ocular health throughout 12 months. However, the effect of toric lenses on corneal morphology may be susceptible to lens positioning.

Abstract
AIM To compare clinical results between toric and spherical periphery design orthokeratology (ortho-k) in myopic children with moderate-to-high corneal astigmatism. METHODS This retrospective study enrolled 62 eyes of 62 subjects using toric ortho-k lenses. These subjects were assigned to the toric group. Based on the one-to-one match principle (same age, proximate spherical equivalence and corneal astigmatism), 62 eyes of 62 subjects were enrolled and included in the spherical group. At one-year follow-up visit, visual acuity, corneal astigmatism, treatment zone decentration, axial elongation and adverse reaction were compared between these two groups. RESULTS At the one-year visit, corneal astigmatism was significantly lower in the toric group (1.22±0.76 D) than in the spherical group (2.05±0.85 D) (P=0.012). The mean magnitude of the treatment zone decentration was 0.62±0.42 mm in the toric group and 1.07±0.40 mm in the spherical group (P=0.004). Axial elongation was significantly slower in the toric group (0.04±0.13 mm) than in the spherical group (0.09±0.13 mm) (P=0.001). The one-year axial elongation was significantly correlated with initial age (r=-0.487, P<0.001) and periphery design of ortho-k lens (r=0.315, P<0.001). The incidence of corneal staining was lower in the toric group (8.1%) than in the spherical group (19.4%) (P<0.001). CONCLUSION Toric periphery design ortho-k lenses may provide lower corneal astigmatism, better centration, slower axial elongation and lower incidence of corneal staining in myopic children with moderate-to-high corneal astigmatism.

Abstract
Background/Purpose: The effect of orthokeratology (OK) on low myopia is well known, but there are a few reports on its effect on high myopia. In this study, the parametric changes in high and low myopia as results of wearing OK lenses for a period of 6 months have been analyzed. Methods: Records of schoolchildren (age 7–17 years) undergoing OK treatment from an optometry clinic were retrospectively reviewed. Data involving refractive errors, uncorrected visual acuity, and corneal curvatures at baseline and after 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months of OK treatment from 25 patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were examined. For the analysis, the participants were arbitrarily divided into two groups comprising high myopia (< −6.00 D) and low to moderate myopia (from −1.00 D to −6.00 D). Results: Significant reductions of refractive error, improvement in visual acuity, and corneal-curvature flattening were found in all participants after 6 months of OK lens wear compared to the baseline. No significant changes were found in corneal toricity in both high and low to moderate myopic groups. Almost all of these occurred after one night of lens wear in both the high- and low-myopia groups. Conclusion: The OK lens wear significantly reduced the refractive error and corneal curvature that results in the improvement in visual acuity in both high- and low-myopia groups, and the reduction seemed to occur nearly at the same time despite the difference in initial myopic power. High myopes with refractive power up to −8.25 D would benefit significantly from OK lenses.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate regional changes in corneal curvature and power induced by overnight orthokeratology (OK) contact lens wear over a period of 2 weeks. METHODS Corneal topography data (Medmont E300) from 21 myopes (12 M, 9F, 20 to 40 years), who had worn BE OK lenses manufactured in Boston XO material for 14 nights, were analyzed retrospectively. Enrollment criteria were myopia up to 4.50 D and corneal toricity up to 1.50 D. Custom MATLAB programs were used to determine sectorial tangential curvature and refractive power, and to investigate changes from baseline after 1 and 14 nights, and between 1 and 14 nights of lens wear in the central circular zone (CCZ) and surrounding paracentral annular zone (PCZ), with each zone subdivided into nasal, superior, temporal, and inferior sectors. RESULTS After OK, significant asymmetry was found in tangential curvature across sectors. In the CCZ, by day 14 there was greater flattening in the temporal (-1.27 ± 0.62 D, p < 0.001) than nasal sector (0.05 ± 0.62 D, p = 0.893). In the PCZ, by day 14 there was greater steepening in the temporal (2.37 ± 1.09 D, p < 0.001) than nasal sector (0.30 ± 1.36 D, p = 0.326). In both zones, vertical sectors did not show any asymmetry. The variation in corneal curvature across sectors and the mirror asymmetry was also reflected in variations in the corneal refractive power. CONCLUSIONS OK induces non-uniform corneal changes to the central and paracentral regions. This non-uniformity may influence peripheral refraction profiles reported with OK that have been suggested to be influential in myopia control.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the effect of lens fenestrations on the performance of orthokeratology lenses. METHODS Twenty-two subjects (aged 11 to 31 years) were fitted with identical reverse geometry orthokeratology lenses in the two eyes. One eye was randomly designated to wear a lens with three 0.20 mm fenestrations at 120° intervals placed at the junction of the reverse and alignment curves. The lens for the other eye was not fenestrated. Subjects were reviewed at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year after fitting. Data were collected on refraction, visual performance, incidences and severity of corneal staining, lens binding, and corneal pigmented arc. RESULTS Fifteen subjects achieved full correction in OU. There were no statistically significant differences in refractive and corneal changes, visual performance, incidences and severity of corneal staining and corneal pigmented arc formation between the two eyes. The incidence of lens binding was consistently higher in eyes wearing non-fenestrated lenses but was not statistically significant. Severity of lens binding, however, was statistically significant at the 1-, 3-, 6- and 12-month visits, with the non-fenestrated lenses causing more severe binding. CONCLUSIONS The addition of fenestrations to orthokeratology lenses has no effect on the efficacy of the treatment or outcomes in low to moderate myopic subjects. However, the severity of lens binding is reduced. Fenestrating reverse geometry lenses may be of assistance in cases where lens binding is a problem.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the relationship between the change in the manifest refractive error (DeltaM), the change in apical corneal power (DeltaACP) and initial corneal asphericity (Q) in overnight orthokeratology (ortho-K). METHODS One hundred and twenty-eight clinical records of children undergoing ortho-K from a university optometry clinic were reviewed. The refractive and topographical data at baseline and at two-week visit of 58 patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were retrieved and analysed. RESULTS Significant differences (p < 0.001) between the change in manifest refractive error and changes in the apical corneal power or the maximum change in corneal power (DeltaMCP) within the treatment zone were found. Linear regression analysis was used to describe the change in manifest refractive error and the change in apical corneal power, and the change in manifest refractive error and the maximum change in corneal power, with the equations: DeltaM = 0.91DeltaACP + 0.57 (r = 0.78, p < 0.001) and DeltaM = 0.93DeltaMCP + 0.01 (r = 0.79, p < 0.001) respectively. On average, the change in apical corneal power underestimated the change in manifest refractive error by 0.34 +/- 0.57 D; whereas on average, the maximum change in corneal power overestimated the change in manifest refractive error by 0.23 +/- 0.57 D (paired-t-tests, p < 0.001). A low but significant correlation between initial corneal asphericity and the change in manifest refractive error (Spearman r = -0.33, p = 0.01) was observed. CONCLUSIONS The change in apical corneal power underestimates the change in manifest refractive error in ortho-K, whereas the maximum change in corneal power overestimates this parameter. Compared with retinoscopy and autorefraction, the change in apical corneal power is still useful for estimation of the change in manifest refractive error. Although the maximum change in corneal power appears to give a closer estimation of the change in manifest refractive error than the change in apical corneal power, there is no advantage in the use of maximum corneal power (manually located) instead of apical corneal power (a default given by the topographer) to estimate the change in manifest refractive error, as there is no significant difference in the estimations by either parameter. Initial corneal asphericity measured by the Medmont E300 corneal topographer has limited usage in predicting the change in manifest refractive error in overnight ortho-K.
