Résumé
@#AIM: To explore whether there was a difference in clinical efficacy of toric design orthokeratology and regular spherical orthokeratology in myopia patients with high difference in corneal surface. <p>METHODS: A retrospective analysis of 48 moderate myopia patients(94 eyes), who went to the optometry center of Ruikang Hospital Affiliated to Guangxi University of Chinese Medical form July 2016 to December 2017. The height difference between the horizontal axis and the vertical axis away from the central cornea at 4mm was ≥30μm calculated in all patients with corneal topography. In Group A, 25 cases(48 eyes)with toric design orthokeratology, Group B(23 cases, 46 eyes)with regular spherical. After wearing orthokeratology 1wk, 1, 3mo, the uncorrected visual acuity(UCVA), the changes of corneal astigmatism in 3mm corneal center, the eccentricity of corneal treatment area were observed. <p>RESULTS: The UCVA was improved of both groups after operation, while was not significantly different between the two groups<i>(P</i>>0.05). The corneal regular astigmatism in 3mm corneal center were decreased after wearing orthokeratology 1wk, 1, 3mo, the changes were more obvious in Group A than Group B(<i>P</i><0.05). the eccentricity of corneal treatment area in Group A were less than Group B(<i>P</i><0.05). <p>CONCLUSION: For myopic patients with height difference between the horizontal axis and the vertical axis from the central cornea, the toric design orthokeratology is superior to regular spherical design orthokeratology in reducing astigmatism and stability of treatment area.
