Abstract

This paper presents the results of a 3-year study of the histomorphological picture of the cornea in patients with myopia using orthokeratologic lenses (OKL). During the observation, a number of morphometric changes of the cornea were revealed in the stressful (1 month), steady (1 year) and distant (3 years) periods of adaptation, indicating the need for continuous monitoring of the cornea. Stability of morphometric parameters of the cornea after 3 years of use of the OKL indicates sufficient safety of the use of orthokeratological correction in the long-term period.
