Dr. Pete Kollbaum and Martin Rickert had a fun collaboration with some colleagues from the University of Houston. A retrospective analysis of real-world clinical data found no difference in the annualised axial length (AL) growth between peripheral defocus contact lenses and orthokeratology. Further, the AL progression from this clinical setting was consistent with those reported in randomised clinical trials. Overall, retrospective data may be useful for evaluating new treatments as myopia control becomes the standard of care.
