Subjects were divided into two groups based on the optical zone size: 5-mm and 6-mm. The study compared changes in axial length, corneal curvature, corneal astigmatism, nasal defocus (\u0394N), temporal defocus (\u0394T), and the diameter of the peripheral plus power ring (PPRD). Additionally, corneal safety indicators, including corneal staining rate, corneal endothelial cell density, and visual acuity, were evaluated.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Data from the right eyes of 43 patients in the 5-mm group and 41 patients in the 6-mm group were analyzed. Baseline axial lengths were 24.77 \u00b1 0.64 mm and 24.87 \u00b1 0.75 mm, respectively. After 12 months of Ortho-K lens wear, the mean change in axial length was 0.25 \u00b1 0.17 mm in the 5-mm group and 0.29 \u00b1 0.16 mm in the 6-mm group, Repeated measures ANOVA revealed a significant time effect (\n                      <jats:italic>F<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 48.634,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &amp;lt; 0.001), a significant group effect (\n                      <jats:italic>F<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 4.041,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.048), and a non-significant interaction effect between time and group (\n                      <jats:italic>F<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 2.361,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.101).
