PURPOSE: There are limited reports available on the impact of wearing Orthokeratology (ortho-K) lenses on the quality of life of Asian children. This study evaluated and compared vision-related quality of life (VRQoL) between myopic children wearing ortho-K lenses and single-vision spectacles (SVSs), living in Kuala Lumpur, using Paediatric Refractive Error Profile (PREP) questionnaires.
METHODS: This is a cross sectional study. Myopic children who had been wearing ortho-K and SVSs for 12 months were recruited, and the questionnaires were distributed online. The PREP scores were obtained using a summary scoring method. The Shapiro-Wilk test was used to determine data normality. Unpaired t-test was performed for normally distributed data, and the Mann-Whitney test for non-normally distributed data. P < 0.05 was considered significant.
RESULTS: A total of 70 subjects participated in this study (45 ortho-K and 25 SVSs), with a mean age of 10.86 ± 0.73 years. The mean scores for all the items were higher in ortho-K than SVS wearers (p < 0.05). With regard to symptoms during ortho-K lens wear at night, <10 % of the subjects reported difficulty falling asleep, itch/burning/dry eyes and foreign body sensation after lens insertion.
CONCLUSION: Ortho-K improves the vision-related quality of life of myopic school children in Kuala Lumpur. Thus, it should be considered by more local optometrists when managing myopic children.
