About this study

Orthokeratology (ortho-k) lens is very effective in slowing down axial elongation in myopic children by 30% to 63% when compared to children wearing single-vision spectacles or contact lenses. More recently, it is reported that the children wearing orthok lens of smaller back optical zone diameter (BOZD) demonstrated a smaller axial elongation when compared to children wearing lens with larger BOZD. We aimed to explored the myopia efficacy and visual quality of ortho-k with different BOZD (5.0mm or 6.2mm).

Read the detailed description

This prospective study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of orthokeratology lenses with different back optical zone diameters (BOZD) in slowing axial elongation. Additionally, visual quality will be assessed through measurements of wavefront aberrations, contrast sensitivity, and subjective visual quality using a validated questionnaire. The study seeks to explore the effectiveness of various Ortho-K lens designs and the potential factors influencing their outcomes.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Orthokeratology with 5.0mm back optical zone diameterDevice

    The orthokeratology lenses used in this study were Double Reservoir Lenses (DRL) manufactured by Precilens (Creteil, France). The lenses feature a dual reverse-curve design with a back optic zone diameter (BOZD) of 5.0 mm.

  • Orthokeratology with a 6.2 mm back optical zone diameterDevice

    The orthokeratology lenses used were Euclid lenses manufactured by Euclid Systems (Herndon, VA, USA). These lenses feature a four-zone, five-curve design with a back optic zone diameter (BOZD) of 6.2 mm.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Orthokeratology with 5.0mm back optical zone diameter and Orthokeratology with a 6.2 mm back optical zone diameter in people with Myopia and Myopia; Refractive Error, run by Xiaoyan Yang at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 14 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Feb 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Changes in axial length (time frame: The change of baseline and 1years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Feb 2025.
