What this trial studies

This study evaluates how different designs of Orthokeratology lenses, specifically variations in the size of the central optical zone and the height of the peripheral reverse curve, affect myopia control and visual quality. Participants are divided into groups based on the optical zone size, ranging from 5.5 mm to 6 mm, with a control group using standard glasses. The effectiveness of the lenses is assessed by measuring axial length progression, while visual quality is evaluated through questionnaires, contrast sensitivity tests, and wavefront aberration analysis.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are individuals with myopia between -1.00D and 4.00D in both eyes, with specific criteria for astigmatism and visual acuity.

Not a fit: Patients with contraindications for wearing Orthokeratology lenses, or those with conditions like strabismus or amblyopia, may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide improved methods for controlling myopia progression in children and adolescents.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promising results with Orthokeratology lenses for myopia control, suggesting that this approach is supported by existing evidence.
