Abstract
Orthokeratology (OK) contact lenses have shown propensity for slowing down the worsening of myopia in children and young adults, with only some understanding of the mechanism. This thesis examined eye muscle coordination and focussing in OK contact lens wear; outcomes were consistent with a lower myopia progression risk and improved visual comfort compared to standard spectacles and soft contact lenses. These findings have relevance for patient acceptance, clinical management protocols and understanding OK's optical impact on the visual system of the young myope.
