Abstract

Purpose: This research was performed to measure and analyze scotopic pupil size in myopes and to figure out the factors that influence it. Methods: The pupil size of 191 healthy myopic subjects were measured with the pupillometer (Colvard pupillometer, OASIS medical, USA) in scotopic and analyzed with the age, corneal size, spherical equivalent refractive error, corneal curvature. In addition, it was compared with the measurements of intra-examiner and inter-examiner to verify reproducibility of pupillometer. Results: The mean (${\pm}$SD) scotopic pupil size was $6.64{\pm}0.68$ mm (range, 5.00~8.00 mm), the lower age and the larger corneal size, The bigger the pupil size. The lower spherical equivalent refractive error and steepper corneal curvature tends to be smaller. The reproducibility of intra-examiner and inter-examiner in pupillometer showed the reliability highly (Guttman splithalf point > 0.91). Conclusions: The pupil size associated with age, corneal size, spherical equivalent refractive error and corneal curvature in scotopic condition. It can refer to prevent inconvenience that may occur RGP contact lenses, cataract surgery and refractive surgery.

목적: 근시안에서 암순응상태의 동공크기를 측정하여 분석해 보고 이에 영향을 주는 요인에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 안과적 질환이 없는 근시안 191명(191안)을 대상으로 암순응상태에서 동공측정계(Colvard pupillometer, OASIS medical, USA)를 사용하여 동공의 크기를 측정하였고 연령, 각막크기, 등가구면 굴절이상도, 각막곡률값과 비교분석하였다. 또한, 동공측정계의 재현성을 알아보기 위해 검사자내(intra-examiner) 및 검사자간(inter-examiner)에서의 측정값을 비교하였다. 결과: 암순응상태에서의 평균동공크기는 $6.64{\pm}0.68$ mm(5.00~8.00 mm)였고, 연령이 낮고 각막크기가 클수록 동공크기는 커지는 경향을 보였고 등가구면 굴절이상도가 낮고 각막곡률이 가파를수록 동공크기가 작아지는 경향을 보였다. 동공측정계의 검사자내 및 검사자간에서의 재현성은 매우 높은 것으로 나타났다(Guttman split-half point>0.91). 결론: 암순응상태에서의 동공크기는 연령, 각막크기, 등가구면 굴절이상도, 각막곡률과 관련 있었으며, RGP 콘택트렌즈나 백내장 수술, 굴절교정수술 등에서 발생할 수 있는 불편함을 예방하는데 참고할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.
