Clinical observation of orthokeratology with reducing back optic zone diameter in the treatment of myopia

Abstract

AIM:To discuss the efficacy and safety of orthokeratology with reducing back optic zone diameter(5mm-BOZD)compared with conventional back optic zone diameter(6mm-BOZD)in the treatment of adolescent myopia.METHODS: A prospective randomized controlled trial was performed. There were 100 cases with 100 eyes of adolescent myopia(all right eye data were taken)selected from April 2016 to January 2019, the spherical degree was -1.00--5.00D. Then they were randomly divided into the two groups. The experimental group wore 5mm-BOZD orthokeratology, and the control group wore 6mm-BOZD orthokeratology. Their axis length(AL), spherical equivalent(SE), relative peripheral refraction(RPR), best corrected visual acuity(BCVA), uncorrected near visual acuity(NVA), Efron grading was applied to record the anterior segment of the eyes, corneal hysteresis(CH), corneal resistance factor(CRF), corneal-compensated intraocular pressure(IOPcc), average noninvasive Keratograph tear breakup time(NIKBUTav)and higher order aberration(RMSh) were compared between the two groups during the 1a treatment period.RESULTS: After 1a of treatment, the AL in experimental group increased 0.05±0.05mm,while it increased 0.15±0.05mm(t=-8.949, P<0.001)in control group. The SE in experimental group increased -0.18±0.27D,while it increased-0.42±0.35D(t=3.609, P=0.001)in control group. There were statistical differences in RPR changes at N30°, N20° and T30°sites between the two groups(P<0.05). There were no statistical differences in BCVA,NVA,Efron grade,CH,CRF,IOPcc,NIKBUTav and RMSh between the two groups(P>0.05).CONCLUSION:Reducing back optic zone diameter orthokeratology can correct adolescent myopia safely and more effectively during the observation period.
