BackgroundTo study how clinical and genetic factors control the effectiveness of orthokeratology lenses in myopia. MethodsIn this study, we conducted a retrospective clinical study of 545 children aged 8-12 years with myopia who were wearing orthokeratology lenses for one year and performed whole-genome sequencing (WGS) for 60 participants in two groups, one with rapid axial length progression of larger than 0.33 mm and the other with slow axial length progression of less than 0.09 mm.
