Comparison of the effects among orthokeratology lens, defocus incorporated multiple segments and single-vision spectacles for the control of myopia
Abstract
AIM: To compare the control effectiveness among orthokeratology(OK), defocus incorporated multiple segments(DIMS)and single-vision spectacles(SVS)in adolescent myopia.METHODS: Retrospective study. A total of 111 myopic patients(221 eyes)in Ningbo Aier Guangming Eye Hospital from April 2020 to March 2021 were selected, and they were grouped into OK group(42 cases, 83 eyes), DIMS group(30 cases, 60 eyes)and SVS group(39 cases, 78 eyes)according to the method in myopia correction. All patients were followed up for 24mo, and the changes of axial length and spherical equivalent before and after treatment were recorded and analyzed.RESULTS: After 6, 12, 18 and 24mo of treatment, the axial length grew in three groups of patients, and the growth of axial length in SVS group was higher than that in OK group and DIMS group(P<0.01). After 24mo of treatment, the control effect of axial length with OK and DIMS was 59.7% and 41.7% respectively. After 12, 18 and 24mo of treatment, the spherical equivalent increased in both DIMS and SVS groups, and the increase of spherical equivalent in SVS group was higher than that in DIMS group(P<0.01). After 24mo of treatment, the control effect of myopia with DIMS was 58.6%.CONCLUSION: Both OK and DIMS showed good clinical effectiveness in the control of adolescent myopia, and the effectiveness of OK is better than that of DIMS.
