The effect of age on short-term orthokeratologyJaikishan Jayakumar
School of Optometry and Vision Science, University of New South Wales, Sydney, NSW, Australia
Optom Vis Sci 82:505-11. 2005..Older lens wearers showed a reduced or delayed response to reverse-geometry lens wear in the short term, suggesting a reduced corneal epithelial response to interventions with increasing age...

School of Optometry, University of New South Wales, Sydney, NSW 2052, Australia
Ophthalmic Physiol Opt 21:182-96. 2001..We conclude that ChromaGen lenses may enhance subjective colour experience and assist in certain colour-related tasks, but are not indicated as an aid for CVD in occupations with colour vision-related restrictions...

Residual corneal flattening after discontinuation of long-term orthokeratology lens wear in asian childrenRichard Wu
University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia
Eye Contact Lens 35:333-7. 2009..Most patients treated with orthokeratology (OK) in Asia are children. The effects of long-term OK on corneal curvature among children after lens wear discontinuation have not previously been reported...

School of Optometry and Vision Science, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia
Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci 44:2518-23. 2003..The consequent change in corneal sagittal height is the primary factor underlying the refractive effect of orthokeratology...
Overnight orthokeratology lens wear can inhibit the central stromal edema responseAhmed Alharbi
School of Optometry and Vision Science, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia
Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci 46:2334-40. 2005..The results suggest that central pressure exerted by the flat-fitting base curve of the OK lens acts locally as a "clamp" to inhibit overnight central corneal swelling...

Microbial keratitis in overnight orthokeratology: review of the first 50 casesKathleen Watt
School of Optometry and Vision Science, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia
Eye Contact Lens 31:201-8. 2005..This study does not reveal the absolute incidence or relative risk of MK in overnight OK, and it is therefore premature to ascribe increased risk to this lens-wearing modality compared with other contact lens modalities...
