5 Key Takeaways

• 1

  Adjusting orthokeratology lens parameters can optimize myopia control in young, low-myopic children.

• 2

  Younger patients with low myopia show less axial length control with ortho-k lenses compared to older children.

• 3

  Myopic defocus created by ortho-k lenses reduces the stimulus for axial length increase, aiding myopia control.

• 4

  Reducing the back optical zone diameter can enhance myopic defocus but may not be sufficient alone for low myopes.

• 5

  Combination therapy with low-dose atropine may be necessary for effective myopia management in young low myopes.
