Objectives: To compare the control effectiveness and periretinal defocus between orthokeratology (OK) and highly aspherical lenslets (HAL) in adolescents with myopia.
Methods: In this prospective study, 211 children (211 right eyes) were enrolled in Beijing Ming Vision and Ophthalmology between October 2022 and February 2023. Based on the myopia correction method, participants were divided into three groups: OK, HAL, and single-vision spectacles (SVS). They were further divided into two subgroups according to the spherical equivalent (SE), namely, subgroup A with -1.0≤SE≤-2.0 D and subgroup B with -2.0
Results: Axial length growth in those with OK lenses and HAL was lower than what was observed for those with SVS after 6, 9, and 12 months. Comparison of the difference in AL change between OK and HAL was not statistically significant with -1.0≤SE≤-2.0 D. The myopic defocus of RDV270° to 300° in group HAL was higher than that in group OK, the difference was statistically significant ( P <0.05), and in other regions, the myopic defocus was higher in the group OK. Em, SRI (corneal regularity index), variation in cell area, and corneal thickness were significantly associated with shaping force.
Conclusions: Orthokeratology is one of the most effective optical treatments for controlling myopia, and the factors that affect the corneal shaping force under different corneal parameters are different. For mild myopia, HAL can achieve the same effectiveness as OK.

Objective: This study was developed with the goal of exploring the efficacy of orthokeratology (OK) as an approach to controlling axial length (AL) growth and identifying factors predictive of the long-term efficacy of this approach.
Methods: This was a retrospective study that enrolled 157 myopic children 7 to 15 years of age undergoing OK correction for over 3 years. The short- and long-term effectiveness of this approach at 1 and 3 years post-OK correction, respectively, was assessed.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the impact of orthokeratology (OK) lenses and highly aspherical lenslets (HALs) on eye growth in children with one eye more nearsighted than the other over a year.
- The research involved 81 children aged 8-14, comparing changes in axial length (AL) and refraction between those using OK lenses and those using HALs at various intervals.
- Results indicated that OK lenses effectively reduced growth in the nearsighted eye but may lead to quicker nearsightedness in the other eye, while HAL lenses reduced growth in both eyes significantly.

This paper discusses the history and impact of orthokeratology on slowing the progression of myopia. It discusses the origins and evolution of orthokeratology from polymethymethaccrylate lenses worn during the day to its current prescribing of highly permeable, innovative reverse-geometry designs worn only while sleeping. Technological advances in corneal topography, lens design, lens materials, and manufacturing have facilitated growth of orthokeratology to a precise and predictable procedure.

Myopia has long been a global threat to public health. Timely interventions are likely to reduce the risk of vision-threatening complications. There are both established and rapidly evolving therapeutic approaches to slow myopia progression and/or delay its onset.
