Inhibitory effect of orthokeratology on myopic progression in monkeys

我们阐明了角膜矫形术可以抑制儿童近视的近视进展。我们的结果证实，角膜矫形术组的眼轴伸长明显小于眼镜对照组。这种抑制作用在角膜矫形术治疗的第一年内最为明显，并随着时间的推移而减弱。以下两篇文章总结了这些结果的详细信息。(Kakita T，Hiraoka T，Oshika T。夜间角膜矫形术对儿童近视眼轴伸长的影响。投资眼科VS Sci。2011；52：2170-4)，(Hiraoka T，Kakita T，Okamoto F，Takahashi H，Oshika T)；过夜角膜矫形术对儿童近视眼轴长度延长的长期影响：5年随访研究。投资眼科VS Sci。2012年；Epub领先于印刷品)。

We clarified that orthokeratology can suppress myopic progression in childhood myopia. Our results confirmed that axial elongation was significantly smaller in the orthokeratology group than in the spectacle control group. The inhibitory effect was most noticeable over the first year of orthokeratology treatment and decreased with time. The details of these results were summarized in the following two articles.
