Postorthokeratology Changes in the Corneal Epithelium Induced by the Menicon α Lens: An Anterior-Segment Optical Coherence Tomography Assessment

Orthokeratology induces central epithelial thinning and peripheral thickening with an asymmetric redistribution, presumably due to inferior temporal lens decentration. Eyes with higher refractive correction showed greater changes in the corneal epithelial thickness.

Abstract

Orthokeratology induces central epithelial thinning and peripheral thickening with an asymmetric redistribution, presumably due to inferior temporal lens decentration. Eyes with higher refractive correction showed greater changes in the corneal epithelial thickness.
