5 Key Takeaways

• 1

  Stable refraction does not guarantee stable myopia, particularly in orthokeratology monitoring.

• 2

  Axial length is a critical objective measurement for assessing myopia progression and treatment effectiveness.

• 3

  Successful myopia control interventions can reduce axial elongation to approximately 0.10 mm to 0.15 mm per year.

• 4

  Clinicians should align axial length measurements with key clinical milestones and avoid overreacting to single readings.

• 5

  Utilizing a growth chart for axial length can enhance communication of treatment value and demonstrate technological investment.
