Abstract

Purpose: To compare the tentative and final addition, a combination chart of cross-grid and red green with the final addition prescribed in presbyopia were used in this study. Methods: The study subjects were 60 persons with presbyopia who were 41 to 60 years (mean: 51.7 years). Tentative addition were determined using red green chart (RG), cross-grid chart (CG) and the combination chart (red green cross-grid chart, RGCG) of the above two. And the final addition for a 40 cm working distance was determined for each subject by adjusting the tentative addition. Results: It was found that there were statistically significant differences of the final addition and the tentative addition between the each different test method. This result indicated that using the red-green cross-grid chart is the higher repeatability. Conclusions: This study shows that red green cross-grid chart (RGCG) seems to be get proper data for determining addition in presbyopes, and this method would be helpful in the diagnostic evaluation of addition in binocular vision testing.

목적: 노안에서 십자와 적록을 조합한 시표를 사용하여 얻어진 잠정가입도와 최종가입도를 비교하기 위해 실시하였다. 방법: 대상자는 41~60세(평균연령 51.7세) 사이의 노안이 있는 60명으로 하였다. 잠정가입도는 십자시표(CG), 적록시표(RG) 및 두 가지 시표를 조합하여 만든 적록십자시표(RGCG)를 사용하여 결정하였으며, 최종가입도는 검사거리 40 cm에서 각 대상자에 맞게 잠정가입도를 조정하여 결정하였다. 결과: 측정 방법별 잠정가입도와 최종가입도 사이의 유의한 차이가 있었으며, 적록십자시표에 의한 방법이 높은 신뢰도(repeatability)를 나타냈다. 결론: 적록 십자시표(RGCG)는 노안 가입도 결정에 필요한 적절한 데이터를 얻을 수 있으며, 양안시 임상에서 가입도 처방의 진단 평가에 유용할 것이다.
