Can orthokeratology lead to keratoconus?
Keratoconus is a special corneal disease, and its complications often occur in men aged 15 ~ 25.

At present, there is no medical data to report that wearing orthokeratology lens will cause keratoconus. At the 3rd Asian Orthokeratology and Special Contact Lens Conference this year, Professor Mao Xinjie of Wenzhou Medical College gave a research report on the influence of wearing Orthokeratology on corneal biomechanics, and made a statistical comparison on the changes of myopia and corneal endothelial cells after 5 years. The report pointed out that wearing orthokeratology lens for a long time will not affect corneal health.
