Purpose: The purpose of this study is to present the study design and one month's preliminary results of a 2-year randomized trial, Combined Atropine with Orthokeratology (AOK), for myopia control study.Methods: Children aged 6 to 0.05). At the 1-month visit, first-fit success rate was 95%, with full myopia reduction. Mild corneal staining was observed in 23.3% and 30.9% and mild self-reported lens binding in 50% and 41% in AOK and OK groups, respectively, after 1-month lens wear. Mean (standard deviation) change in axial length was significantly higher in AOK than OK subjects (AOK: -0.05 +/- 0.05 mm; OK: -0.02 +/- 0.03 mm) (P =0.003).Conclusions: After 1month of treatment, first-fit success rate of ortho-k lenses was high in both groups of subjects; addition of 0.01% atropine in AOK subjects did not affect the lens performance or clinical responses. These results provide the assurance that it is acceptable to continue this longitudinal study, as longer study duration, usually 2years, is required to determine the effectiveness of treatment for myopia control.
