  • There was no significant difference in any of the electroretinographic parameters between the two groups by repeated-measures analysis of variance.

  • DC amplitude: ring×treatment F=0.38, p=0.82; peak time: ring×treatment F=0.89, p=0.87.

  • IC amplitude: ring×treatment F=1.38, p=0.24; peak time: ring×treatment F=1.09, p=0.36.

  • OK, orthokeratology; SV, single vision.
