Infectious keratitis in orthokeratology
Clinical & Experimental Ophthalmology, 2002AbstractOrthokeratology is a method of changing refraction in myopic patients by using rigid contact lenses to reduce the curvature of the cornea. This treatment was in use in the two cases of corneal ulcer described in this paper and appears to have contributed to the development of their disease.

Corneal Response to Orthokeratology
Optometry and Vision Science, 1998ABSTRACT: Purpose. The technique of orthokeratology produces a corneal response to the mechanical pressures exerted by rigid contact lenses. This paper reports a study which investigated the topographic and pachometric corneal changes induced by orthokeratology. Methods.

Chinese Experiences on Orthokeratology
Eye & Contact Lens: Science & Clinical Practice, 2016The 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 and management of orthokeratology, and the myopia control methods used in China.

Current trends in modern orthokeratology
Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics, 1998Summary The present article describes the basic concepts and principles of modern orthokeratology. Early investigators postulated a variety of theories. However, controlled clinical studies have shown these methods to be both unpredictable and also modest in their ability to correct myopia.
