The Effect of Different Cleaning Methods on Protein Deposition and Optical Characteristics of Orthokeratology Lenses. [PDF]
Polymers (Basel), 2021 Orthokeratology lenses are commonly used for myopia control, especially in children. Tear lipids and proteins are immediately adsorbed when the lens is put on the cornea, and protein deposition may cause discomfort or infection. Therefore, we established

Prescription and Effect of Orthokeratology Lenses [PDF]
Annals of Optometry and Contact Lens, 2017 Orthokeratology (OK) is the way to correct the myopia or astigmatism by flattening or the central cornea with specialty lenses. The range of correction is from -2.50 to -4.00 diopters after 10 days of fitting. The designs are constructed with flat base curve radius, steep reverse curve, flat alignment curve, and peripheral curve.
