Optical Quality of the Cornea After Orthokeratology Based on Total Corneal Refractive Power, Corneal Asphericity, and Epithelial Thickness: Protocol for a Prospective Quasi-Experimental Pre-Post Study
Abstract Background Orthokeratology is a nonsurgical corneal reshaping technique used for the temporary correction of myopia and for myopia control. Nighttime use induces central epithelial thinning and midperipheral thickening, altering corneal asphericity and higher-order aberrations. Objective The primary objective...
