Abstract

Purpose :
To evaluate the variation of blur detection thresholds (BDT) and the lag of accommodation before and after wearing orthokeratology lenses in myopic children.

Methods : Twenty-two myopic children of 8-14 years old (spherical equivalent:-1.00D to -5.75D with astigmatism ≤0.75 D, best-corrected visual acuity ≥20/20), corrected with orthokeratology lenses, participated in this self-controlled prospective study. Their visual acuity after orthokeratology correction was not less than 20/20. The subjects’ blur detection threshold, accommodative lag, and higher-order aberrations were measured before and after one-month wearing orthokeratology lenses. All the data were analyzed with SPSS 19.0 software.

Results : Higher-order aberrations increased significantly (t=-9.166, P<0.05) after orthokeratology correction, with higher trefoil (t=-2.716,P<0.05) and higher coma (t=-4.464, P<0.05). The BDT decreased significantly after orthokeratology correction by 0.08D (t=2.527,P<0.05). No significant change in the accommodative lag was found after wearing orthokeratology lenses (before 0.39±0.42D, after 0.19 ±0.38 D; t=1.862,P>0.05) . There was no significant correlation between blur detection threshold and accommodative lag either before (r=-0.364. P>0.05) or after (r=0.097, P>0.05)orthokeratology correction. Similarly, no correlations between BDT and higher-order aberrations were found.

Conclusions : After orthokeratology correction, the blur sensitivity of myopic children improved while their accommodative behavior remained unchanged.
