Age and initial spherical equivalent influence the axial length elongation in children aged 9–17 years undergoing orthokeratology therapy

Age and initial equivalent spherical value are critical factors influencing axial length changes in children aged 9-17 years who use Ortho-K lenses. Understanding these factors can enhance the effectiveness of Ortho-K treatment in managing myopia progression. Further studies are needed to optimize lens design and treatment protocols for personalized myopia control.
