Abstract

목적: 본 연구는 국내에서 유통되는 미용 칼라 콘택트렌즈에 대하여 렌즈 관리에 이용되는 다목적 콘택트렌즈 용액에 의한 탈색을 관찰하고자 하였다. 방법: 6개월용 착용렌즈로 굴절력이 0.00 D이며, 주변부가 다른 제조공법으로 착색된 세 가지 칼라 콘택트렌즈를 이용하였고(타입 1: pigment application method, 타입 2: chemical bonding process, 타입 3: sandwich method), 다목적용액은 성분이 다른 두 종류를 사용하였다. 각각의 칼라 콘택트렌즈는 다목적용액에서 20일간 보관하면서 1일 15초 동안 소용돌이 혼합(vortexing) 하였다. 소용돌이 혼합 전과 후에 형광흡광도, 표면사진 그리고 명도지수와 색좌표지수를 측정하여 탈색정도를 관찰하였다. 결과: 두 종류의 다목적용액에서 모든 타입의 미용 칼라 콘택트렌즈의 형광 흡광도 값은 소용돌이 혼합 전과 후에 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다. 표면사진은 렌즈의 전면은 모든 타입에서 매끄러웠고, 후면은 타입 3은 1과 2 보다 돌출된 정도가 적었다. 소용돌이 혼합 전과 후 렌즈 표면색의 색차 변화는 타입 3이 타입 1과 2보다 유의하게 변화도가 작았으나 모두 허용오차 안에 들었다. 결론: 소프트 콘택트렌즈 다목적 용액에 의한 미용 칼라 콘택트렌즈의 탈색은 형광 흡광도와 표면색 측정에서 관찰되지 않았다. 그러나 콘택트렌즈의 제조방법에 따라 렌즈 후면의 돌출된 정도는 달랐다. Purpose: This study aims to observe bleaching resulted from multipurpose contact lens solutions used to manage lenses with the subjects of colored contact lenses being distributed in Korea. Methods: The lenses have been worn for six months, and their refraction is 0.00D. Three types of colored contact lenses of which margin has been colored with a different manufacturing method have been adopted (type 1: pigment application method, type 2: chemical bonding process, type 3: sandwich method), and multipurpose solutions used were two types containing different components. Each of the colored contact lenses was stored in the multipurpose solutions for 20 days and went through vortexing for 15 seconds per day. Their fluorescence absorbance, surface roughness, brightness index, and color coordinate index were measured before and after the vortexing to see the degree of bleaching. Results: In the two types of multipurpose solutions, every type of the color contact lenses showed no statistically significant difference in their fluorescence absorbance value before and after the vortexing. Regarding surface image, the front surface of the lenses was smooth in every type, and about the back surface, type 3 indicated less protrusion than type 1 and 2. About the difference of color on the lens surface before and after the vortexing, type 3 showed significantly less difference than type 1 and 2; however, all fell into the permissible error. Conclusions: About the bleaching of colored contact lenses resulted from multipurpose solutions for soft contact lenses, there was no difference observed in terms of fluorescence absorbance and color. According to the methods of manufacturing dyes, however, there was difference in the protrusion of the posterior surface image.
