Abstract:Significance
Central corneal epithelial thinning associated with midperipheral epithelial thickening has been reported as the main factor contributing to the effectiveness of orthokeratology (ortho-k) in myopia control. Yet, the cellular mechanism governing the regional change in refractive power remains elusive.
Purpose
This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between the regional change in corneal epithelial thickness and cell density in ortho-k w… Show more
