Comparison between over‐glasses patching and conventional patching for children with moderate amblyopia: a prospective randomized clinical trial

Purpose To investigate the clinical effects of orthokeratology lens wear on inhibition of the myopic progression and axial length elongation in Korean children with myopia. Methods The authors reviewed out‐patient records of 37 eyes of 19 patients wearing orthokeratology lenses. The 46 eyes of 23 patients wearing spectacles were included into the control group. We evaluated the relationship between orthokeratology lens wear and control group according to age, initial myopia, initial astigmatism, axial length elongation. Results There were no significant differences between two groups as for age, initial myopia, astigmatism, spherical equivalent, and axial length at baseline (t‐test, p > 0.05). Significant reduction of refraction was shown in patients with wearing lenses after 1 year (t‐test, p
