Abstract

To investigate the ametropia and refractive error of 222 ametropic eyes of the 111 high school students in Gwangju Metropolitan City, the visual acuity test was performed by the object and subject method. 85% of the eye types were positive for myopia, 14% for emmetropia, and 1% for hyperopia, respectively. 38% of the abnormal refraction eyes were positive for simple myopia, 4% for myopia simple astigmatism, 56% for myopia compound astigmatism, and 0% for simple hyperopia, 0% for hyperopia simple astigmatism, 2% for hyperopia compound astigmatism, 0% for mixed astigmatism, respectively. 92% of the axes fo astigmatism were for astigmatism with-the-rule, 6% for astigmatism against-the rule, 2% for astigmatism oblique, respectively. As for the astigmatic power, 0.50 < cylinder < 1.00D was 68%, 1.00 < cylinder < 2.00D was 25%, and anything over the 2.00 cylinder D was 7%. As for the equivalent spheric power of myopic abnormal refraction eyes, -0.50 < spheric equivalent < -2.00D was 26%, -2.00D < spheric equivalent < -6.00D was 55% and anything over the -6.00D was 19%. The rate of wearing glasses was 74%. It increases compared to 20 years ago. 91% of the eye test place was the optical shop, 9% the eye doctor hospital. 80% of the students need to change their optical lenses because spherical equivalent power was over 0.50D.

본 연구는 광주지역 고등학교 3학년생 111명 222안을 대상으로 굴절상태를 자각적, 타각적 검안을 토대로 조사, 시행하여 안질환이 없는 학생의 비정시의 정도 및 굴절상태를 연구하였다. 눈의 형태는 근시가 85% 원시가 1% 그리고 정시가 14%로 나타났다. 굴절 이상안은 단순근시 38%, 근시성 단난시 4%, 근시성 복난시 56%, 단순원시 0%, 원시성 단난시 0%, 원시성 복난시 2%, 혼합난시 0% 순이었다. 난시의 축은 직난시 92%, 도난시 6%, 사난시 2%순이었다. 난시의 굴절력은 0.5D에서 1.0D가 68%, 1.0D에서 2.0D가 25%, 2.0D 이상이 7% 이었다. 근시성 굴절 이상안의 등가구면 굴절력은 -0.50D에서 -2.0D 이하 26%, -2.0D에서 -6.0D 이하에서 55%, -6.0D 이상이 19% 이었다. 안경 착용률은 74%로 20년 전에 비해 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 검안은 안경원에서 91%, 안과에서 9% 이었다. 최근 시력검사가 5개월이 넘은 학생 중에 안경렌즈 교체가 필요한 등가구면 굴절력이 0.5D가 넘은 경우는 80% 이었다.
