Abstract

Purpose: Usefulness in predicting the power of spherical rigid gas-pearmeable (RGP) lenses prescription using dioptric power matrices and arithmetic calculations was evaluated in this study. Noncycloplegic refractive errors and over-refractions were performed on 110 eyes of 55 subjects (36 males and 19 females, aged $24.60{\pm}1.55$years) in twenties objectively with an auto-refractometer (with keratometer) and subjectively. Tear lenses were calculated from keratometric readings and base curves of RGP lenses, and the power of RGP lenses were computed by a dioptric power matrix and an arithmetic calculation from the manifest refraction and the tear lens, and were compared with those by over-refractions in terms of spherical (Sph), spherical quivalent (SE) and astigmatic power. Results: The mean difference (MD) and 95% limits of agreement (LOA=$MD{\pm}1.96SD$) were better for SE (0.26D, $0.26{\pm}0.70D$) than for Sph (0.61D, $0.61{\pm}0.86D$). The mean difference and agreement of the cylindrical power between matrix and arithmetic calculation (-0.13D, $-0.13{\pm}0.53D$) were better than between the others (-0.24D, $0.24{\pm}0.84D$ between matrix and over-refraction; -0.12D, $0.12{\pm}1.00D$ between arithmetic calculation and over-refraction). The fitness of spherical RGP lenses were 54.5% for matrix, 66.4% for arithmetic calculation and 91.8% for over-refraction. Arithmetic calculation was close to the over-refraction. Conclusions: In predicting indications and powers of spherical RGP lens fitting, although there are the differences of axis between total (spectacle) astigmatism and corneal astigmatism, Spherical equivalent using an arithmetic calculation provides a more useful application than using a dioptric power matrix.

목적: 굴절력 매트릭스와 가감 계산을 이용하여 구면 RGP 렌즈의 처방 굴절력 예측의 유용성을 평가하고자 하였다. 방법: 20대 55명 110안(남 36명, 여 19명 나이 $24.60{\pm}1.55$세)을 대상으로 비조절마비굴절검사와 덧댐굴절검사는 각막곡률측정 기능이 내장된 자동굴절력계를 이용한 타각적 검사와 자각적 검사를 실시하였다. 누액렌즈는 각막곡률과 RGP 렌즈의 베이스커브로부터 계산하였다. 현성굴절력과 누액렌즈로부터 매트릭스와 가감 계산에 의해 예측된 RGP 렌즈의 굴절력과 덧댐굴절검사 값을 구면(Sph), 등가구면(SE) 및 난시 굴절력 측면에서 비교하였다. 결과: 평균차이(MD)와 95% 일치도 범위(LOA=$24.60{\pm}1.55$)는 Sph (0.61D, $0.61{\pm}0.86D$)보다 SE (0.26D, $0.26{\pm}0.70D$)에서 좋았다. 실린더 굴절력에서 매트릭스와 가감 계산 사이의 평균차이와 일치도(-0.13D, $-0.13{\pm}0.53D$)는 다른 것(매트릭스와 덧댐굴절검사: -0.24D, $0.24{\pm}0.84D$; 가감 계산과 덧댐굴절검사, -0.12D, $0.12{\pm}1.00D$)보다 좋았다. 구면 RGP 렌즈의 적합성은 매트릭스에서 54.5%, 가감 계산에서 66.4%, 덧댐굴절검사에서 91.8%였으며, 가감 계산이 덧댐굴절검사에 근접하였다. 결론: 안경(또는 전체)난시와 각막난시의 축이 다르더라도 구면 RGP 렌즈 피팅 가능성과 처방 굴절력의 예측에서 매트릭스를 이용하는 것보다 가감 계산에 의한 등가구면 적용이 더욱더 유용하다.
