An ortho-k lens is not necessarily a myopia control lens

Abstract
This article examines the extent of orthokeratology lenses for myopia control vs myopia management in children. The authors discuss design options for Ortho-lenses and conclude, based on clinical studies, that not all Ortho-lenses are suitable for myopia control; most designs may be applicable for myopia correction only.
