Possible adverse effects of the use of orthokeratology lenses (literature review)

Abstract

Orthokeratology is a method of correction of ametropia, which has been widely used throughout the world. In the presented review, based on the data of domestic and foreign literature, possible undesirable phenomena that occur when using orthokeratological lenses are described. Scien¬tists come to the conclusion that, despite the possibility of complications, the risk of undesired symptoms is significant¬ly reduced when the rules of the use and care of orthokera¬tology lenses are strictly followed, and that their incidence is less frequent than when using soft contact lenses.
