Abstract

Purpose: The study was performed to compare the differences in lens rotation, lens movement by blinking and lens centration with alignment or steep fitting of soft contact lens in normal and dry eyes. Methods: Total 40 eyes (aged 20~30 years) were classified into the normal (n=20) or dry eye group (n=20) by the diagnosis methods for dry eyes and worn soft contact lens (polymacon material) with alignment fitting or steep fitting. Lens rotation, lens movement by blinking and lens centration were separately measured immediately after lens wearing and after stabilization of tear film and compared by fitting states of soft contact lenses. Results: With steep fitting of soft contact lens in dry eyes, averaged lens rotation immediately after lens wearing was not significantly different from that of the normal eye group with alignment fitting however, lens rotation after stabilization in dry eyes was significantly larger than that in normal eyes. Any significant difference in lens movement by blinking was not shown in normal eyes. However, lens movement by blinking in dry eyes was increased with steep fitting. The range of lens centration on cornea in normal eyes with alignment fitting was more vertically distributed. On the other hand, the range of lens centration on cornea in dry eyes with alignment fitting was more horizontally distributed. Lens centration was shown to be changed by stabilization of tear film. That is, lens centrations were somewhat vertically widespread immediately after lens wearing and restrictively distributed in horizontal direction, respectively, with steep fitting in dry eyes. Conclusions: These results suggested that lens movements and centration in dry eyes were different from those of normal eyes. Especially, those differences between normal and dry eyes were much bigger with steep fitting of soft contact lenses. Thus, those differences should be considered for the comfortable and safe fitting of soft contact lens in dry eyes.

목적: 소프트렌즈를 얼라인먼트(alignment) 피팅 또는 스팁(steep) 피팅하였을 때 각막에서의 렌즈의 회전 움직임, 순목에 의한 이동거리 및 중심위치가 정상안과 건성안에서 어떠한 차이를 보이는지 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 20~30대 남녀 40안을 정상안군과 건성안군으로 분류한 후 polymacon 재질의 소프트렌즈를 얼라인먼트 피팅 혹은 스팁피팅상태로 착용시키고 렌즈 착용 직후 및 눈물층이 안정화 되었을 때의 회전 움직임, 순목에 의한 이동거리, 중심위치를 비교하였다. 결과: 렌즈의 회전 움직임은 스팁하게 피팅하였을 경우 정상안 군은 얼라인먼트 피팅시와 큰 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 건성안 군에서는 눈물층이 안정화되는 시점에서의 평균 회전 움직임이 정상안 군보다 통계적으로 유의하게 컸다. 정상안 군에서는 피팅에 따른 렌즈 이동거리의 차이가 없었으나 건성안 군에서는 스팁하게 피팅된 경우 렌즈의 이동 거리가 증가하였다. 각막에서의 렌즈 중심 위치는 얼라인먼트 피팅된 렌즈를 착용한 정상안 군의 경우 수직 방향으로의 분포가 더 컸으나 건성안의 경우는 수평 방향으로의 분포가 더 컸다. 또한 건성안에 렌즈를 스팁하게 피팅하였을 때에는 렌즈를 착용한 직후 렌즈의 중심 위치가 수직방향으로도 다소 넓게 분포하였으며 눈물층이 안정화된 후에는 오히려 수평 방향의 분포가 좁아져 눈물층의 안정화에 따라 렌즈의 중심 위치가 변함을 알 수 있었다. 결론: 본 연구를 통하여 건성안에서의 소프트렌즈의 움직임과 중심 위치가 정상안의 경우와 상이하며 특히 스팁 피팅시에는 그 차이가 더 두드러짐을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 건성안에 소프트렌즈를 피팅할 시에는 본 연구를 통하여 확인할 수 있었던 정상안과의 차이를 고려해야 할 것으로 생각된다.
