ORTOCHERATOLOGIA

Alicia Sànchez-García, Miguel A. Ariza, Phillippe Büchler, Ainhoa Molina-Martin, David P Piñero. Scopo: l’obiettivo di questa revisione è stato riassumere i diversi cambiamenti strutturali eistologici della cornea, che si verificano dopo un trattamento ortocheratologia (OK). Percondurre la revisione sistematica è...

Abstract: The prevalence of myopia and high myopia has significantly increased worldwide and in the United States. The serious implications of these trends are being recognized. Myopia is not just a minor inconvenience requiring vision correction with glasses or contact lenses,...

Purpose: To report a case of Mooren ulcer that developed in a pediatric patient wearing orthokeratology overnight contact lenses. Methods: Case report. Results: A 10-year-old boy was referred to our clinic because of progressive peripheral corneal ulcer in the right eye, despite the intensive use...

Objectives: To assess the tear meniscus height (TMH), noninvasive tear breakup time (NITBUT), and bulbar redness in pediatric patients after orthokeratology (OK). Methods: Pediatric patients who underwent overnight OK between December 2014 and November 2017 were retrospectively investigated. According to the time of wearing, subjects were divided...

Purpose: To examine the effects of one year of overnight orthokeratology (OK) treatment on the sub-basal nerve plexus (SBNP) and corneal sensitivity and to assess the reversibility of these effects one month after treatment interruption. Methods: Thirty-two subjects with low-moderate myopia underwent...

Purpose: To compare tear film osmolarity (TFO) measurements in non–contact lens (CL) wearers and wearers of hydrogel or overnight orthokeratology (OK) CLs, and to assess possible effects of long-term OK on TFO. Methods: Overall, 108 subjects with moderate myopia participated in 2...

Objective: To assess the effects of a short period of orthokeratology (OK) on corneal sub-basal nerve plexus (SBNP) morphology and corneal sensitivity. Methods: Measurements were made in 56 right eyes of 56 subjects with low-to-moderate myopia who wore 2 OK lens designs...

Objectives: To investigate the topographic factors related to axial length (AL) growth rate in orthokeratology. Methods: Clinical data of myopic children with orthokeratology lenses from 2010 to 2016 were investigated. Corneal topography (Orbscan II) and IOLMaster-measured AL at baseline and...

Purpose: This study aims to analyze two commercial orthokeratology lens designs and compare their optical effects at the corneal level. Methods: This is a retrospective study on subjects seeking an orthokeratology fitting for myopia management at the Université de Montréal clinic between...

Abstract: The prevalence of myopia in Chinese children has been rising each year. Research has shown that orthokeratology is a good method for controlling the progression of myopia. In this article, we review the current prevalence of myopia, the development...

Objective: To assess the bioburden in an orthokeratology contact lens (OK) care system (defined by microbial identification from OK case fluid) and to identify the risk factors causing high bioburden for pediatric OK wearers in southern Taiwan. Sorgente: Microbial Bioburden...

Objective: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of orthokeratology in correcting myopia. Methods: The study took place over three ophthalmology practices, which were trained in fitting corneal reshaping therapy lenses. Sorgente: Success Rate of Incorporating Corneal...

Sorgente: Progressive anisometropia and orthokeratology: a case report...

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of overnight orthokeratology (OOK) on ocular surface and meibomian glands in children and adolescents. Methods: Prospective, noncomparative study included the ocular surface disease index (OSDI), tear osmolarity, corneal and...

  Sorgente: Orthokeratology: An Academic Perspective...

To evaluate a novel fitting algorithm for estimation of alignment curve (AC) radius during orthokeratology lens trial. Sorgente: A novel fitting algorithm for alignment curve radius estimation using corneal elevation data in orthokeratology lens trial...

To analyze the change in subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFChT) and its relationship with changes in axial length (AL) in myopic children treated with Orthokeratology (Ortho-k). Sorgente: Choroidal thickness and axial length changes in myopic children treated with orthokeratology...
