Orthokeratology is a method of non-surgical correction of refraction, which is based on the principle of biomechanical changes in the curvature of the cornea under the influence of «reverse geometry». This method was developed more than 50 years ago, however, it became widely used only in the early 2000s. The basis of this method is the use of special orthokeratology lenses that patients wear during the night. Peculiarity of these lenses is the ability to change curvature of the cornea, resulting in a flattening of its central part and thickening of the paracentral and peripheral sections, which leads to the formation of positive spherical aberration of the optical system. Such changes in the cornea resulting from partial desquamation of keratocytes and changes in their shape during 7–8 hours of influence during the night, lead to the normalization of refraction, which persists for the next 24 hours. Most often this method of vision correction is used in children and adolescents, since it allows not only to optimize visual acuity for a certain period of time, but also to stop the progression of myopia. Another indication for the correction of vision using orthokeratology lenses includes active sports and situations that exclude the possibility of wearing glasses or soft contact lenses.
