Seasonal Variation in the Effect of Controlling Myopia Progression Using Orthokeratology

In general, axial elongation in myopic children receiving Ortho-K in summer months was approximately 56% of that in winter. Initial time wearing Ortho-K in autumn/winter months, the effect of myopia control is better than in spring/summer. Our results indicated that seasonal variation should be taken into account in studies related to Ortho-K.
