“…Second, compared to emmetropic and hyperopic counterparts who demonstrated relative peripheral myopia, people with myopia displayed relative peripheral hyperopia. Orthokeratology lens could shift the relative peripheral refraction in the myopic direction [6], slow the axial elongation and thus help to delay the myopia progression [7]. However, orthokeratology lens is not appropriate for all the patients, such as patients with severe dry eye or keratitis.…”

“…[7][8][9] The prevalence of myopia has increased worldwide, and it is a global public health problem. 10,11 It is estimated that by 2050 half of the world's population will have myopia. 1,12 It is important that progression of myopia is controlled to reduce the incidence of other detrimental eye conditions later on.…”
