Objective To investigate the correction effect and influence of orthokeratology lens and aspheric spectacles on adolescent myopia.Methods A total of 124 cases of juvenile myopia in our hospital from January 2012 to January 2013 was divided into experimental and control groups according to the principle of random.Patients in both groups were followed for a period of 2 years,patient's vision,binocular refraction,and eye axis length were recorded.Results Unaided visual acuity of patients in the experimental group was increased significantly,the trend was clear with statistical significance (P < 0.05).For the control group of patients,visual acuity was significantly decreased after 2 years (P < 0.05).For the experimental group,patients'diopters were decreased from (4.29 ± 1.23)D to (4.23 ± 0.04)D after wearing glasses.The difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05).For the control group,patients' diopters were increased from (4.22 ± 1.19)D to (5.68 ± 1.13)D after wearing glasses.The difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05).The difference between two groups at the same time was statistically significant (P < 0.05).In the experiment group,for patients wearing glasses,their axis lengths were (24.7 ±0.19)mm after six months.After 1 year,their axis lengths were (24.5 ±0.16) mm,and after 2 years,their axis lengths were (24.3 ± 0.20) mm.Compared to non-wearing glasses before,the difference was not statistically significant (P > 0.05).In the experiment group,for patients wearing glasses,their axis lengths were (24.7 ±0.19)mm after six months.After 1 year,their axis lengths were (24.5 ±0.16)mm,and after 2 years,their axis lengths were (24.3 ± 0.20) mm.Compared to non-wearing glasses before,which was (24.3 ± 0.21) mm,the difference was not statistically significant (P > 0.05).In the control group,for patients wearing glasses,their axis lengths were (24.8 ± 0.20) mm after six months.After 1 year,their axis lengths were (24.9 ±0.17) mm,and after 2 years,their axis lengths were (25.7 ±0.15) mm.Compared to non-wearing glasses before,which was (24.5 ± 0.18)mm,the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05).Conclusions Orthokeratology lenses can reduce myopia in adolescent patients,reduce the degree of anisometropia,and prevent the increase of the axial length.It can achieve the purpose of myopia control.
