Advances in the Application of Orthokeratology Lenses in Myopia Control
Myopia has become a severe public health issue,particularly affecting the eye health of adolescents in China.Currently,the primary methods for myopia control include pharma-cological and optical corrections.With the widespread application of orthokeratology lenses in myopia control,there has been increasing attention on their efficacy.This paper summarizes re-cent research advances in the application of orthokeratology lenses for myopia control,highlighting their involvement in various mechanisms such as biomechanics,peripheral retinal defocus,choroi-dal effects,and ocular accommodation.Orthokeratology lenses can effectively improve the vision and visual function of myopic adolescents,with their efficacy being influenced by factors such as age and the duration of lens wear.Additionally,while there are risks of complications during lens wear,the advent of modern digital technologies has led to the development of new-generation prod-ucts,such as"digital orthokeratology lenses",which emphasize the advantages of personalized cus-tomization.These advancements can significantly enhance the accuracy and fit of the lenses.It is anticipated that with future developments,orthokeratology lenses,supported by full digital technol-ogy,will become safer and more precise.
