An assessment reveals corneal epithelial changes from Menicon α lens in eyes undergoing orthokeratology, indicating lens impact on thickness.
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.
