your pupil size has nothing to do with it.
risk free?... maybe you should do your homework.

"The refractive effect in OK is achieved by central epithelial thinning and this
has raised concerns about compromise of the epithelial barrier to microbial
infection."
"Infectious keratitis is a severe complication associated with overnight
orthokeratology lens wear."
"CONCLUSIONS: Acanthamoeba keratitis is an emerging complication of
orthokeratology in young myopes."
"CONCLUSIONS: Changes in P. aeruginosa susceptibility to antibiotics under
moderately hypoxic conditions and glycocalyx slime formation might affect the
features of OK lens-associated infections."
"CONCLUSIONS: Irregular corneal astigmatism significantly increased, even in
clinically successful orthokeratology cases. The effect of the changes on visual
function should be studied further."
"The marked increases in albumin and LD suggest that the ocular surface is under
additional hypoxic stress during overnight ortho-k lens wear."
