The peripheral refraction profile in myopes with different corrective modalities varies significantly for both distance and near viewing and will have implications in managing myopia. This study investigated how the magnitude of peripheral myopic defocus induced by Ortho-K varies with and without accommodation, and how this compares to single vision spectacles and soft-contact-lenses (SCL). Relative peripheral refraction (RPR) of 18 young adults (spherical equivalent −1.00 D to −4.50 D) was determined along the horizontal meridian (±10°, ±20°, ±25°) during distance (3-metres) and near viewing (0.2-metres), and along vertical meridian (±10°, ±15°) for distance viewing alone. Measurements were obtained in an uncorrected state and with single vision spectacles, soft contact lens and Ortho-K. Changes in RPR and astigmatic components were compared between distance and near viewing with all different modalities. A significant interaction (p = 0.02) between relative peripheral refraction and the target distance (distance and near viewing) was found among different refractive modalities. Single overnight Ortho-K lens wear alone led to relative peripheral myopia for both distance (mean RPR ± SE: −0.92 ± 0.21D and −1.04 ± 0.22D) and near viewing (−0.71 ± 0.17D and −0.76 ± 0.20D). Comparisons of relative peripheral refraction between different corrective modalities at each eccentricity indicated statistical significance of RPR at extreme locations along both temporal and nasal meridian (±20 and ±25°, p &lt; 0.05). RPR with soft contact lenses and spectacles were similar for both distance and near viewing (p &gt; 0.05). Single overnight Ortho-K lens wear alone shifted the RPR in the myopic direction for both distance and near viewing in comparison with single vision spectacles and soft contact lenses. The Ortho-K lens designs that offer a large amount of mid-peripheral corneal steeping, in-turn leading to high relative peripheral myopia for both distance and near viewing and might offer beneficial effects on myopia control.
