Abstract
La miopía es una alteración refractiva del ojo que cursa de forma adquirida o congénita, llegando a ser una de las principales causas de ceguera mundial. Su incidencia es cada vez mayor, por lo que se ha visto la necesidad de encontrar una posible solución para ralentizar el aumento de este error refractivo. La presente recopilación de datos pretende contrastar los diferentes tratamientos establecidos hasta el momento en los últimos 10 años particularizando en la ortoqueratología.
La ortoqueratología nocturna es la modalidad de especialización contactológica más eficaz como tratamiento al control de la miopía. Los resultados se han visto más reflejados en pacientes de edades tempranas con miopías medias y progresiones de longitud axial rápidas frente a los demás tratamientos. En cambio, en los casos de miopías bajas, se han encontrado evidencias de que la combinación de OKN con atropina al 0.01% es más efectiva. Sin embargo, este último método cursa con efectos secundarios como la fotofobia y problemas en visión próxima.
Myopia is a refractive alteration of the eye that can be acquired or congenital, becoming one of the main causes of blindness worldwide. Its incidence is increasing, so there is a need to find a possible solution to slow down the increase of this refractive error. The present compilation of data aims to contrast the different treatments established so far in the last 10 years, with particular emphasis on orthokeratology. Overnight orthokeratology is the most effective contact lens specialization modality as a treatment for myopia control. The results have been seen more in younger patients with medium myopia and rapid axial length progressions compared to other treatments. On the other hand, in cases of low myopia, there is evidence that the combination of OKN with 0.01% atropine is more effective. However, the latter method is associated with side effects such as photophobia and near vision problems.
