Abstract
Purpose: In this study we investigated the correlation between the effect of myopia correction and the change of corneal eccentricity using reverse geometry lens. Methods: The 23 students (46 eyes) continuously wearing reverse geometry lens during 3 months were divided into Group I and Group II by different parameter fitting methods of wearing Reverse Geometry Lens. We measured a corneal eccentricity for Group I and Group II at $10^{\circ}$, $20^{\circ}$, and $30^{\circ}$ positions from corneal apex before wearing reverse geometry lens, 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months after wearing reverse geometry lens. We also measured an uncorrected visual acuity, a spherical equivalent, and a corneal radius and analyzed the correlation between them and the change of corneal eccentricity using statistical significance test. Results: There were the statistical significances of a change of corneal eccentricity (p=0.03, t=-2.29) for Group I and Group II at 10 position from corneal apex in a week after wearing reverse geometry lens, but were not those (p>0.05) in 1 month, and 3 months after wearing reverse geometry lens. There were the statistical significances of correlation between the change of corneal eccentricity and a corrected visual acuity, and a corneal radius, respectively. Particularly, the high correlation between the change of corneal eccentricity and a corrected visual acuity (r=-0.36, p=0.00, t=6.5), and a spherical equivalent (r=-0.72, p=0.00, t=-70.5) for Group II in a week after wearing reverse geometry lens showed. Conclusions: We knew from these results that the high correlation between the effect of myopia correction and the change of corneal eccentricity in a week after wearing reverse geometry lens represented.
