누진렌즈안경 착용자의 가입도와 굴절이상 변화에 대한 연구

Abstract

목적: 본 연구에서는 누진렌즈 안경 착용자의 굴절이상 변화를 연구하였다. 방법: 2003년부터 2013년까지 광주광역시 소재의 안경원을 방문한 43~69세의 노안인 사람 중에 안질환이 없고, 누진렌즈 안경을 처방받은 244명을 대상으로 원거리 굴절상태와 연령대에 따른 원용굴절력과 가입도의 굴절이상 변화를 각각 분석하였다. 결과: 굴절이상에 따른 원용굴절력의 변화는 정시안 +0.10 D, 근시안 +0.07 D, 원시안 +0.23 D로 나타났고(p=0.000), 가입도의 변화는 정시안 +0.22 D, 근시안 +0.29 D, 원시안 +0.17 D로 나타났다(p=0.003). 연령대에 따른 굴절력 변화는 43~49세의 경우 원용굴절력 +0.08 D, 가입도 +0.30 D로 나타났고, 50~59세의 경우 원용굴절력, +0.17 D, 가입도 +0.20 D로 나타났으며, 60~69세의 경우는 원용굴절력 +0.15 D, 가입도 +0.14 D로 나타났다(p=0.046, p=0.006). 결론: 누진안경 착용자의 원용굴절력과 가입도의 변화는 모든 굴절상태와 연령대에서 점점 (+)방향으로 증가됨을 나타내었다. Purpose: This study was to analyse the changes of refractive error and addition in progressive eyeglasses lens wearers. Methods: Data of 244 subjects who have been prescribed progressive eyeglasses lenses were used for analysis. The range of age was between 43~69 old years and they visited the optical shop in Gwangju metropolitan city from 2003 to 2013. According to the refractive state and age, The changes of refractive error and addition was analysed respectively. Results: The changes of distance refractive power by refractive error was showed +0.10 D in emmetropia, +0.07 D in myopia, +0.23 D in hyperopia (p=0.000). The change of addition was showed +0.22 D in emmetropia, +0.29 D in myopia, +0.17 D in hyperopia (p=0.000). The changes of distance power and addition by age was +0.08 D distance refractive power, +0.30 D addition in the group of 40~49 old years, +0.17 D distance refractive power, +0.20 D addition in the group of 50~59 old years and +0.15 D distance refractive power, +0.14 D addition in the group of 60~69 old years (p=0.046, p=0.006). Conclusions: The changes of refractive error and addition of progressive eyeglasses lens wearers in all refractive state and age were gradual increase in the direction (+) diopter.
