Abstract

Purpose: To investigate ocular higher order aberrations (HOA) and spherical aberration changes caused by an aspheric soft contact lens designed to reduce spherical aberration (SA) of the eye. Methods: Fifty subjects who have successfully experienced soft contact lenses were refitted with aspheric design (Soflens Daily Disposable: SDD, Bausch+Lomb) soft contact lens. Ocular higher order aberrations (HOA) and stand alone SA were measured and analyzed for a 4-mm pupil size using Wave-Scan Wavefront$^{TM}$ aberrometer (VISX, Santa Clara, CA, USA). High and low contrast log MAR visual acuity and contrast sensitivity function (CSF) were also measured under photopic and mesopic conditions (OPTEC 6500 Vision Tester$^{(R)}$). All measurements were conducted monocularly with an undilated pupil. Results: The RMS mean values for total HOA with SDD contact lenses were significantly lower than those at with unaided eyes (p<0.001) and a reduction for SA in the SDD was close to the baseline SA (zero ${\mu}m$) (p<0.001). For the SDD lens, there was a statistically significant correlation between the changes in the total HOA and the contact lens power (r=0.237, p=0.018) as well as between the changes in SA and the lens power (r=0.324, p=0.001). High contrast visual acuity (HCVA) and low contrast visual acuity (LCVA) with SDD lenses were $-0.063{\pm}0.062$ and $0.119{\pm}0.060$, respectively under photopic and $-0.003{\pm}0.063$ and $0.198{\pm}0.067$, respectively under mesopic condition. Contrast Sensitivity Function (CSF) with SDD lenses under both photopic and mesopic conditions was $3.095{\pm}0.068$ and $3.087{\pm}0.074$, respectively. Conclusions: The SDD contact lens designed to control SA reduced the total ocular HOA and SA of the eye, resulting in compensating for positive SA of the eyes. Thus, the optical benefits of the lens with SA control would be adopted for improving the quality of vision.

목적: 구면수차를 감소시키기 위해 설계된 비구면 소프트콘택트렌즈를 착용시킨 후 눈에서 변화된 고위수차와 구면수차를 분석하였다. 방법: 50명의 소프트 콘택트렌즈 착용자가 연구에 참여하였으며 SDD(Soflens Daily Disposable, Bausch+Lomb) 비구면 렌즈를 착용시킨 후 Wave-Scan Wavefront$^{TM}$ aberrometer (VISX, Santa Clara, CA, USA)를 이용하여 눈 전체의 고위수차와 구면수차를 4 mm의 동공크기를 기준으로 측정하였고, 구면수차 변화량은 착용한 비구면 렌즈의 약도, 중도, 고도의 도수에 따라 비교, 분석하였다. 밝은 조명(photopic)과 어두운(mesopic) 조명상태에서 대비도를 가지는 시력표(100%와 20%)를 이용하여 시력 검사를 하였고 OPTEC 6500 Vision Tester$^{(R)}$(Stereo Optical Co., Inc., Chicago, USA)를 사용하여 밝은 조명(photopic)과 어두운(mesopic)조명 상태의 대비감도를 각각 측정하였다. 모든 측정은 산동 시키지 않은 상태에서 단안으로 시행하였다. 결과: SDD 비구면 렌즈를 착용한 경우 눈의 전체고위수차는 나안 상태보다 유의하게 감소하였고(p<0.001), 구면수차는 상당히 감소하여 0에 근접하는 경향을 보였다(p<0.001). SDD 렌즈 도수에 따라 전체고위수차 변화량(r= 0.237, p=0.018)과 구면수차 변화량(r=0.324, p=0.001)은 유의한 상관관계가 나타났다. 밝은 조명상태에서 100% 및 20% 대비도 시력은 각각 $-0.063{\pm}0.062$와 $0.119{\pm}0.060$으로 나타났고, 어두운 조명상태에서 100% 및 20% 대비도 시력은 $-0.003{\pm}0.063$과 $0.198{\pm}0.067$으로 측정되었다. 밝은 조명상태와 어두운 조명상태에서 대비감도는 각각 $3.095{\pm}0.068$과 $3.087{\pm}0.074$로 나타났다. 결론: 구면수차를 제어한 비구면 디자인의 소프렌 소프트렌즈(SDD)는 눈의 전체 고위수차와 구면수차를 감소시키고 눈의 구면수차를 보정하면서 시력의 질을 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
