Abstract

근시와 관련하여 근업의 영향을 평가하고, 이러한 근업의 행태가 세대변화에 따라 어떻게 다른지를 규명하고자 한다. 연구는 청주와 대전에 거주하는 성인 남녀 201명을 대상으로 하였다. (-)2.50D를 기준으로 연구대상을 근시군과 대조군으로 나누었다. 굴절이상과 관련한 안과검사와 근업과 관련한 설문조사 결과를 이용하여 근시정도와 근업과의 상관성을 규명하였고, 각 그룹을 20대와 30대로 구분하여 다시 비교하였다. 설문조사 결과 연구대상 전체에서는 고등학교 시기 학교머무름시간과 야외활동시간 그리고 중,고등학교시기 운동여부에 따른 굴절이상도, 고등학교 계열에 따른 굴절이상도, 학교 머무름시간, 야외활동시간 항목에서 모두 근시군과 대조군 사이에 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 같은 항목에 대해 연구대상을 20대와 30대로 나누어서 비교했을 때는 운동여부와 양 군 간의 추세 및 운동여부에 따른 굴절이상도에서 세대에 따라 서로 다른 결과가 나타났다. 근업의 정도는 근시에 영향을 미치는 환경적 위험요인의 하나로 근시 진행과 관련하여 고려해야할 중요한 항목이지만, 근시 예방과 관련하여 근업의 구체적인 행동양식들을 언급할 때는 해당 세대의 문화와 시환경을 고려하여야 한다. We evaluate the impact of near work has on myopia and how they differ across generation. The study subjects were 201(83 males and 118 females) adults who live in Cheongju and Daejeon. Myopia was defined as more than or equal to (-)2.50D. The subjects were divided myopic and control group. The surveys and eye tests that are related to near work and refractive error were conducted and the relationship between the degree of myopia and near work was investigated. Then, the groups were divided into people in their 20s and 30s and the comparisons were made again. The survey results showed significant differences between myopic and control groups that depended on: hours spent in school and outdoor activities during high school period, degree of refractive error caused by level of exercises during the junior high school and high school years, refractive error based on the type of high schools, also hours spent in school and outdoor activities. When the same question was done on the group in their 20s and 30s, there was a different outcome in trends between the groups and refractive error depending on whether they exercised. The degree of near work is one of the environmental risk factors that affect myopia and must be considered when studying myopic progression. However, when discussing specific behavioral patterns in relations to myopia prevention, culture and visual environment of a given generation must also be considered.
