Abstract

The purpose of this Study investigated corneal power, corneal astigmatism and corneal axis according to spherical equivalent of refractive error. We measured spherical equivalent, corneal power and corneal astigmatism in 100 subjects from January 2014 to July 2014. Measured spherical equivalent of refractive error were $-3.01{\pm}3.79D$, corneal power of $43.79{\pm}1.60D$ and corneal astigmatism of $-1.17{\pm}0.79D$ respectively. Prevalence of spherical equivalent of refractive error were as follows : myopes (61%), emmetropes (22%), hyperopes(17%). Corneal astigmatism of refractive error greater than +0.75D was 63% and prevalence of corneal astigmatism were as follows : with-the-rlue astigmatism (84.13%), against-the-rule astigmatism(9.52%) respectively. Corneal power by spherical equivalent increased from hyperopia to myopia. Between spherical equivalent of refractive error and the mean corneal power was significant correlation(r=-0.25, p=0.01). A correlation were found between corneal power and spherical equivalent of refractive error in adults. They have the highest distribution of prevalence myopia among the refractive error. When the refractive error was increased, we found that corneal power was steeper. It is recognized that this can be refractive error factor and correct visual function is considered.

등가구면 굴절력에 따른 각막굴절력과 각막난시도, 각막 난시 축의 변화도 분석을 통하여 굴절이상의 원인을 알아보고자 하였다. 20세 이상의 성인 100명을 대상으로 2014년 1월부터 2014년 7월까지 KR-8800을 이용하여 등가구면 굴절력, 각막굴절력, 각막난시도를 측정하였다. 등가구면 굴절력은 $-3.01{\pm}3.79D$로. 각막 굴절력은 $43.79{\pm}1.60D$로, 각막 난시도는 $-1.17{\pm}0.79D$로 측정되었다. 전체 대상자의 등가구면 굴절력 중 근시안은 61%, 정시안은 22%, 원시안은 17%이며, 각막난시가 0.75D 이상은 63%로 나타났으며, 직난시는 84.13%, 도난시는 9.52% 순으로 나타났다. 등가구면 굴절력은 원시에서 근시로 진행함에 따라 각막굴절력이 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며, 유의한 상관성이 있는 것으로 나타났다(r=-0.25, p=0.01). 성인에 있어서 굴절이상의 원인은 각막 굴절력과 유의한 상관성이 있고, 굴절이상의 대부분은 근시이며 굴절이상도가 더 커질수록 각막 굴절력이 steep 해지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이것이 굴절이상 원인이 될 수 있음을 인식하고 올바른 시기능 관리가 필요 할 것으로 생각된다.
