5 Key Takeaways

• 1

  Marika, a 9-year-old, experienced myopia progression after switching from glasses to orthokeratology lenses for myopia control.

• 2

  Effective myopia management requires an individualized approach, considering factors like age, compliance, and optical correction.

• 3

  Noncompliance with anti-myopia spectacles can lead to rapid myopia progression, necessitating consistent wear for effectiveness.

• 4

  Topography assessment is crucial for evaluating lens position and its impact on corneal profile in orthokeratology.

• 5

  The retina's response to myopic defocus is dose-dependent, with greater defocus leading to increased choroidal thickness and resistance to eye elongation.
