Summary

In Hong Kong, approximately 80% of children are myopic by the end of childhood. There is intense interest currently in the potential role of peripheral defocus as a clinical treatment to slow myopia progression. One of the most successful treatments for myopia is orthokeratology. Currently, Breath-O correct lenses are new designed ready-made orthokeratology lenses. This study is to evaluate the safety of wearing this new orthokeratology lens and the effectiveness of clinical performance in young adult.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Refractive error: Spherical: normally -1.00D to -4.00D (maximum up to -5.00D); Cylindrical: normally half of Sph (against-the-rule Astigmatism.: lower than -0.75D) (maximum up to -1.50D)
  • Best corrected Visual acuity: monocular ETDRS 0.0 or better
  • Ocular health: No ocular abnormality, no contra-indications for overnight orthokeratology lens wear, no refractive surgery
  • General health: No systemic diseases
  • Requirement: No history of orthokeratology lens wearing. Agree to participate in this study and willing to wear the orthokeratology lenses overnight in accordance with the instructions given and to come back for follow up within the study period
