Peripheral Refraction in Myopic Patients After Orthokeratology

CRT inverts the pattern of peripheral refraction in spherical equivalent refraction, creating a treatment area of myopic reduction within the central 25 degrees of visual field, and a myopic shift beyond the 25 degrees. In peripheral refraction for 30 degrees and 35 degrees, the amount of myopia induced in terms of spherical equivalent has an almost 1:1 relationship with the amount of baseline spherical equivalent refraction to be corrected.
