This article considers the history of orthokeratology development, main indications for use of orthokeratological correction. Theories of slowing the rate of myopia progression are reflected: normalization of the work of the eye’s accommodative function, as well as the creation of a myopic peripheral defocus, due to which the progressive axial elongation is slowed down. The data on the histomorphologic effect of orthokeratology on the cornea are presented for various periods of application with the help of visualization methods of the eye tissues, such as: biomicroscopy, layered confocal study of the cornea, optical pachymetry, optical coherence tomography of the cornea. The most common complications of orthokeratological correction are considered: induced astigmatism, inflammatory diseases of the anterior segment of the eye, late epitheliopathy.
Key words: orthokeratological contact lenses, progressive myopia, optical correction.
