Implication

Randomized trial investigates topographic factors affecting axial length growth in myopic children, suggesting potential for myopia progression control.

Key Points

This study aims to investigate how topographic factors influence the rate of axial length growth in children undergoing orthokeratology.
Clinical data of myopic children using orthokeratology lenses were collected from 2010 to 2016.
Corneal topography and axial length measurements were analyzed at baseline and posttreatment visits.
Generalized estimating equations (GEE) assessed the relationships between axial length growth and topographic changes.
AL growth rate was 0.22±0.15 mm/year over a mean follow-up of 41.9 months.
Age at initial lens wear, baseline AL, baseline SE, CCT, baseline apex power, and posttreatment ARPD significantly correlated with AL growth (P<0.001).
In multivariable analysis, CCT and posttreatment ARPD were significant factors impacting AL growth (P=0.014 and 0.016, respectively).
