Myopia Control With Orthokeratology Contact Lenses in Spain

Myopia Control With Orthokeratology Contact Lenses in Spain

The purpose of this prospective study is to assess the efficacy, safety and patient-reported outcomes of the Menicon Z Night orthokeratolgy contact lens for reducing myopia progression in children.

The purpose of this prospective study is to assess the efficacy, safety and patient-reported outcomes of the Menicon Z Night orthokeratolgy contact lens for reducing myopia progression in children in comparison with a group of distance, single-vision glasses over a 2-year period. Efficacy was evaluated by assessing differences in the axial length between groups. Safety was evaluated by comparing the incidence of adverse events between groups. Differences between groups in patient-reported outcomes were evaluated using a questionnaire that assessed vision-related quality-of-life measures.
