Brief Summary:
This is a prospective study to validate a predictive algorithm for identifying fast progressing myopes.
Detailed Description:
Orthokeratology (ortho-K) has been demonstrated to slow myopic progression and reduce axial elongation in young patients, but this treatment is limited by the need for contact lens wear, which is the common cause for keratitis in children, and therefore cautious use is recommended. There is a need to identify the patients that could benefit most from this treatment. In order to do so, we conduct a retrospective study and create a large database (n = 10,000) of de-identified data to train an algorithm for identifying fast progressing myopes. In addition, we will perform a prospective study to validate this predictive algorithm and determine the effectiveness of Orthokeratology among different individual patients in China.
