Effect of orthokeratologic lenses of individual design on visual functions in premature babies with myopia in school age

The study included 62 children aged 6 to 14 years with mild to moderate myopia, born at 28-34 weeks of gestation with a birth weight of 970 to 2200 g. Selection criteria: corneal refractive power >46.00 D, no keratoconus or macular degeneration. The main group – 32 children (64 eyes), who were as...

Description
Summary:The study included 62 children aged 6 to 14 years with mild to moderate myopia, born at 28-34 weeks of gestation with a birth weight of 970 to 2200 g. Selection criteria: corneal refractive power >46.00 D, no keratoconus or macular degeneration. The main group – 32 children (64 eyes), who were assigned orthokeratologic lenses, the control group – 30 children (60 eyes) – glasses users. Differences between the groups were not significant. Observation period was 3 years. There were no complications. Corrected visual acuity in the main group increased from 0.63±0.08 to 0.98±0.06, in the control – from 0.61±0.05 to 0.73±0.05; p
