Optical Quality of the Cornea After Orthokeratology Based on Total Corneal Refractive Power, Corneal Asphericity, and Epithelial Thickness: Protocol for a Prospective Quasi-Experimental Pre-Post Study [PDF]
JMIR Research ProtocolsBackgroundOrthokeratology is a nonsurgical corneal reshaping technique used for the temporary correction of myopia and for myopia control. Nighttime use induces central epithelial thinning and midperipheral thickening, altering corneal asphericity and ...
