Purpose: To investigate the histological changes in primate cornea induced by short-term overnight orthokeratology (OK). Methods: Nine young adult primates were used. One animal served as negative control. The remaining 8 animals wore reverse-geometry OK lenses for periods of 4, 8, 16, and 24 hours...
