METHODS: A prospective, non-randomized, case-control study was performed from September to October 2016. Eighty-three children with myopia were divided into two groups. One group was treated with the rigid contact lens for overnight Ortho-k, and the other was treated with single-vision spectacle lens(SVL). Accommodation function were assessed by accommodative amplitude(AA), accommodative sensitivity(AS), accommodative lag(Lag), negative relative accommodation(NRA), and positive relative accommodation(PRA) before and 1, 3, 6 and 12 mo after treated. RESULTS: Totally 72 myopic children were finished the follow-up: 37 in Ortho-k group and 35 in SVL group. Wearing time had a significant effect on AA, AS, Lag, and NRA of myopic children in two groups(all P〈0.05). Meanwhile, there was an interaction effect between wearing time and wearing types(FAA=5.3, FAS=45.5, FLag=7.0, FNRA=3.7, all P〈0.05). However, the between-group difference of AA(F=0.1), AS(F=3.2), Lag(F=1.1), NRA(F=0.3), and PRA(F=0.1) showed no significance. AA, AS, NRA, Lag and PRA were improved significantly in Ortho-k group within 1 to 6 mo after wearing. CONCLUSION: Wearing Ortho-k can improve the accommodation function of myopic children, which might be one of the mechanisms for myopia control.展开更多
