Changes and Relationship Analysis of Ocular Parameters After Short-term Discontinuation of Orthokeratology / 中山大学学报(医学科学版)

@#【Objective】To observe and assess the changes of refraction error，axial length，anterior chamber depth， intraocular pressure，and corneal topography parameters 1 month after discontinuation of orthokeratology，and analyse the related factors of refraction error growth. 【Methods】 This was a retrospective self-control clinical study ． A total of 66 children（66 eyes）with a history of wearing orthokeratology lens and voluntary discontinuation，aged 8 to 15 years，were enrolled in this study. They had worn orthokeratology lens for about 1 year，averaged 13（S = 3）months，with about 1 month of discontinuation ，averaged 29（S = 4）days. Observation of refraction error ，axial length ，anterior chamber depth ， intraocular pressure，and corneal topography parameters were taken before wearing orthokeratology lens and 1 month after discontinuation，and the changes and correlation were analyzed by paired t test and linear regression analyses.【Results】 Compared with the values at baseline，spherical equivalent refraction error and cylindrical degree increased［-0.13（-0.50~0.00）］D and［0.00（-0.25~0.00）］D，（P = 0.113）after 1 month of discontinuation，respectively. The value of steep Keratometry，and that of flat K，Em and Es both decreased 了 0.10（- 0.10~0.30）D，0.20（0.00~0.48）D，- 0.10（- 0.30~0.20）D，（P1 = 0.001，P2 < 0.001，P3 = 0.015）. Significantly，change of refraction error was only strongly correlated with axial elongation（X），and we built a predictive model for growth of refraction error（Y）：＾y = -1.294X+0.095（P < 0.001）.【Conclusion】 Refractive error exceed to baseline values completely ，and corneal power rebounded to baseline values basically after 1 month of discontinuation in children who wore orthokeratology lens for about 1 year.

Progress of corneal biomechanical measurements and applications in clinic / 国际眼科杂志(Guoji Yanke Zazhi)

· Cornea is an important part ofhuman's refractive system.Corneal biomechanics plays an important role in corneal ectasia and related diseases.The corneal biomechanics measured in vitro and in vivo and its clinical application in system diseases and elastic corneal disease,glaucoma,myopic are reviewed in this literature summary.
