Abstract

Orthokeratology is a clinical technique which uses the programmed application of contact lenses to reduce refractive error. It is a safe and reversible option for myopia correction. This report describes two successful orthokeratology patients who wear their contact lenses on every fourth or fifth night. The findings suggest a biphasic mechanism in the orthokeratology process.
