Clinical Report: In the World of Anti-Myopia Spectacles, Where Does Ortho-k Fit?
Overview
The recent FDA approval of anti-myopia spectacles marks a significant advancement in myopia management, providing a non-invasive option for families. While these spectacles offer accessibility and ease of use, orthokeratology (ortho-k) remains a potent intervention for moderate myopia, particularly for active children.
Background
Myopia is a growing public health concern, with increasing prevalence among children. Effective management strategies are essential to slow its progression and preserve vision. The introduction of anti-myopia spectacles expands treatment options, prompting clinicians to reassess the role of ortho-k in comprehensive myopia management.
