Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the convergence accommodation to convergence (CA/C) ratio and to investigate relationships among age, accommodative amplitude and PD (interpupillary distance) of adults in their early twenties with normal binocular vision. Methods: 44 subjects (mean age, $21.75{\pm}1.16$ years) with healthy eyes were examined. The CA/C ratios were measured by using the difference of Gaussian (DOG) target with retinoscopy. Results: The mean CA/C ratio was $0.052{\pm}0.017$ D/$\Delta$. A moderate negative correction was present between CA/C ratio and age (r = -0.50, p = 0.0005), and a highly positive correction was found between CA/C ratio and accommodative amplitude (r = 0.79, p<0.0001). There was no relation between PD and CA/C ratio. Conclusions: The CA/C ratio presented was mean value for adults in their early twenties with healthy eye between 19 and 25 years of age. There was a high correlation between accommodative amplitude and CA/C ratio. Therefore, the CA/C ratio will be useful basic information for comparison in age, gender and binocular anomalies with similar data from other countries.

목적: 이 연구의 목적은 양안시가 정상인 20대 초반 성인의 폭주성조절(CA/C, convergence accommodation/convergence ratio)비를 평가하고 나이, 조절력 및 동공간거리(PD, interpupillary distance)와의 관련성을 분석하고자 하였다. 방법: 건강한 눈을 가진 44명(평균나이 $21.75{\pm}1.16$세)을 대상으로 조사하였다. CA/C비는 가우시안의 차(DOG, difference of Gaussian) 시표를 이용하여 검영법으로 측정하였다. 결과: 측정결과 CA/C비는 평균 $0.052{\pm}0.017$ D/$\Delta$이었다. CA/C비와 나이는 중간 정도의 음의 상관관계(r = -0.50, p = 0.0005)를, CA/C비와 조절력은 강한 양의 상관관계(r = 0.79, p<0.0001)를 보였으며, PD와 CA/C비의 상관관계는 없었다. 결론: 제시된 CA/C비는 19세에서 25세의 건안상태의 20대 초반 성인을 기준으로 측정한 평균값이다. 조절력과 CA/C비는 높은 상관관계를 보였다. 따라서 이 자료는 외국의 자료와 연령별, 성별, 양안시이상별 비교에 기본 정보로 활용될 것으로 본다.
