Refractive and corneal responses of young myopic children to short-term orthokeratology treatment with different compression factors

Orthokeratology (Ortho-k) has been shown to be effective in slowing myopia progression [1 –7] and has become a popular myopia control treatment in many East Asian countries [8–10]. Cheung et al. [11] reported that ortho-k was the preferred optical myopia control intervention of Hong Kong parents for their children, because of the freedom from spectacle or contact lens wear during the daytime after stabilisation [11]. Hiraoka et al. [12] also found that good unaided vision contributed most to patients’ satisfaction.
