Abstract

|
Orthokeratology lenses are specially designed rigid gas-permeable lenses that are similar to corneal refractive surgery, in that they flatten the central cornea, reducing corneal curvature and correcting myopic refractive errors. While there have been numerous studies on the prescription of orthokeratology lenses for children, there have been relatively few studies regarding prescribing orthokeratology lenses for adults. Properly prescribed orthokeratology lenses can help to slow down the progression of myopia in young adults and have the advantage of alleviating visual fatigue symptoms compared to soft contact lenses. This paper aims to summarize the various clinical characteristics of prescribing orthokeratology lenses in adults.
