| Abstrakt: | Orthokeratology may be effective in slowing myopic progression. However, whether orthokeratology is beneficial enough to prevent rhegmatogenous retinal detachment formation remains unclear. Two cases of bilateral rhegmatogenous retinal detachment were seen during orthokeratology treatment and corrected with scleral buckling and cryopexy under general anesthesia. This is the first report of bilateral retinal detachment found during orthokeratology treatment. Although orthokeratology is effective for myopic correction and prevents axial length elongation, patients still have a risk of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Careful follow-up not only of the anterior segment but also of the peripheral retina is necessary.
