A recently published study determined that changing orthokeratology lens parameters caused significant changes in peripheral refraction, corneal topography and corneal surface aberrations, and as such, attempting to customize refraction and topography through manipulation of the lens is a difficult task.

A recently published 2-year study matched for age and gender to a previously conducted 1-year study showed a comparatively significant reduction in the progression of myopia with soft multifocal contact lenses than the 1-year study, as well as a significant reduction in axial elongation.

Topic areas can include photoaging (cataractogenesis, presbyopia and corneal, retinal and conjunctival/limbal changes); epidemiology of UV-induced ocular disease; and assessing the protective effect of UV-blocking contact lenses on human ocular tissues.

Orthokeratology was found to control axial elongation in certain older children with myopia when compared to single vision spectacles, according to a study recently published in Optometry & Vision Science.
