Long-term effect of orthokeratology on choroidal thickness and choroidal contour in myopic children
2024
Overview
PurposeTo investigate the long-term effect of orthokeratology (ortho-k) on the choroidal thickness and choroidal contour in myopic children.MethodsSubjects were from a conducted 2-year randomised clinical trial. Children (n=80) aged 8–12 years with spherical equivalent refraction of −1.00 to −6.00D were randomly assigned to the control group (n=40) and ortho-k group (n=40). Optical coherence tomography images were collected at the baseline, 1-month, 6-month, 12-month, 18-month and 24-month visits, then the choroidal thickness and choroid contour were calculated. Axial length (AL) and other ocular biometrics were also measured.ResultsDuring 2 years, in the control group, the choroidal thickness became thinning and the choroidal contour became prolate with time at all visits (all p<0.001). Ortho-k can improve the choroidal thickness (all p<0.001) and maintain the choroidal contour at all visits (all p<0.05). In the ortho-k group, the choroidal contour was less changed in the temporal than nasal (p=0.008), and the choroidal thickness was more thickening in the temporal 3 mm (p<0.001). Two-year change in choroidal thickness was significantly associated with the 2-year AL change in the control group (r=−0.52, p<0.001), however, this trend was broken by ortho-k (r=−0.05, p=0.342). After being adjusted by other variables in the multivariable regression model, the effect of ortho-k on choroidal thickness was stable.ConclusionsIn the current 2-year prospective study, ortho-k can improve the choroidal thickness and maintain the choroidal contour, but this effect diminished in a long term. Further study with larger sample size and longer follow-up is warranted to refine this issue.
