Three-Year Visual Quality Evaluation in Children Using Orthokeratology Lenses: A Retrospective Study With OPD-Scan III Measurements.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate long-term visual quality outcomes, refractive changes, and safety during orthokeratology lens wear in children with myopia over a 3-year period. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 130 myopic children aged 8-18 years who wore corneal refractive therapy (CRT) lenses from February 2021 to November 2024. Participants underwent comprehensive ocular examinations, including assessments of visual acuity, refractive error, axial length, corneal thickness, and visual quality parameters at baseline, 1.5 years, and 3 years. Data were analyzed with repeated measures ANOVA, and post hoc comparisons were conducted using the Bonferroni test. Results: Over the three-year period, there was a slight increase in myopic refractive error and axial length (spherical equivalent: from -1.36 ± 1.17D to -1.69 ± 1.24D; cylindrical power: from -0.70 ± 0.83D to -1.18 ± 0.99D; axial length: from 24.62 ± 0.83 to 25.08 ± 0.85 mm). Overall ocular visual quality improved significantly, with increases in Strehl ratio and modulation transfer function ( Conclusion: Long-term CRT lens wear was associated with improved overall and intraocular visual quality, despite increased corneal HOA, with better optical performance in the 3-mm zone. The observed axial elongation and refractive changes over 3 years were broadly consistent with previously reported orthokeratology outcomes. CRT lenses also demonstrated a favorable safety profile in this cohort.
