Background: To determine the influence of the magnitude of treatment zone decentration on axial length (AL) elongation and to investigate the association between paracentral corneal asymmetry and orthokeratology (OK) lens decentration.
Methods: This retrospective study involved 268 subjects (7-14 years) who wore OK lenses for one year. The parameters that reflected the paracentral corneal asymmetry were recorded: corneal toricity; Q value; anterior corneal curvature; and elevation values at the 6-, 7-, and 8-mm chords along the horizontal meridian. The relationships between these data and the amount of treatment zone decentration were analyzed. The relationship of the decentration magnitude and AL elongation was also analyzed.
Results: AL elongation was significantly associated with initial age, baseline spherical equivalent, AL, and the decentration magnitude. The subjects with large decentration magnitude showed less AL elongation. The decentration was affected by corneal morphology at the 8-mm chord on the nasal side. In the low curvature group (≤41.0D), the decentration magnitude had a stronger correlation with AL elongation than in all subjects. In the high curvature group (>41.0D), the decentration magnitude was no longer correlated with the AL elongation.
Conclusion: The decentration of the OK lens effectively slowed the elongation of the eyeball. When the nasal curvature was less than 41.0 D at the 8-mm chord, the magnitude of decentration was predetermined by the flatter curve.

Background: To assess the predictive value of pretreatment corneal elevation asymmetry vector (CEAV) for severe orthokeratology (Ortho-k) lens decentration (LD) in Chinese myopic adolescents.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of 247 myopic participants over one year employed a novel MATLAB algorithm to calculate CEAV and precise LD vector. Subjects were categorized into mild (<1 mm) and severe (≥1 mm) yearly averaged LD (YALD) groups.

Purpose: To discuss the characteristics of anterior corneal elevation asymmetry in myopic eyes and clarify which kind of asymmetry most influenced lens position.
Methods: In this retrospective study of 199 consecutive myopic participants, corneal topography was used to analyse asymmetry in anterior corneal elevation. Amongst them, 65 participants (65 eyes) who underwent orthokeratology (31 and 34 with spherical and toric lenses, respectively) were re-evaluated.

Purpose: To compare long-term intraocular lens (IOL) decentration and tilt following femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) and conventional surgery using swept-source anterior segment ocular coherence tomography (SS-ASOCT).
Methods: In this retrospective cross-sectional study, all patients underwent FLACS or conventional cataract surgery. Those with a minimum of 12-months follow-up since surgery were included.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how non-toric ortho-k lens decentration affects higher-order aberrations (HOAs) and astigmatism, utilizing AI to predict the impact.
- Using a Medmont E300 Video topographer, the research analyzed 249 corneas, examining changes in topography data before and after the lenses were worn.
- The results indicate significant changes in various aberration terms post-ortho-k, with AI successfully predicting the direction and magnitude of decentration in lenses with accuracies of around 70%.
Purpose: To assess the influence of ocular biometric parameters on intraocular lens (IOL) tilt and decentration after cataract surgery.
Methods: Patients scheduled for cataract surgery were screened for inclusion in this prospective cohort study. Tilt and decentration of the crystalline lens and IOL were measured using the CASIA2 (Tomey).
