Is my eye okay with OK lens?: comparative in vitro study depicting the effects of Orthokeratology (OK) lens treatment on the physiology of human corneal epithelial cells
Orthokeratology (OK) has gained ground as a therapeutic modality for the correction of refractive error. OK mediates its effect by reshaping the cornea curvature with the use of a specially designed rigid contact lens, in order to correct the focusing of the image onto the retina, thereby implying …
