Optical changes and axial elongation in children wearing orthokeratology lenses of smaller back optic zone diameter: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Our meta-analysis revealed that Ortho-K lenses with smaller BOZD exhibited less axial elongation in children compared with conventional Ortho-K lenses. This effect may be related to the reduction of TZD and the increase of higher-order aberrations (HOAs) caused by the smaller BOZD design.
