Clinical and functional eye indices in patients with myopia when using orthokeratology lenses
The research has been performed of clinical and functional parameters of eyes using orthokeratology lenses (OKL) in 42 patients with myopia. Using OKL during 7 days showed a significant increase in uncorrected visual acuity, UCVA, as well as less severe epithelial change in group 2 (using keratoprotectors) compared with group 1 (without keratoprotectors). Clinical-functional indicators prove the end of the "stress" period of adaptation in the cornea after 1 month of OKL application.
