초록

콘택트렌즈 착용 실태와 콘택트렌즈 보관용기의 관리 소독에 대한 실태조사를 통하여 경기도 지역 콘택트렌즈 착용실태를 알아보고자 하였다. 2013년 1월부터 7월까지 콘택트렌즈를 구매하고자 안경원에 내원한 고객 중 설문에 응한 중 고등학생 및 대학생 200명을 대상으로 하였다. 콘택트렌즈 착용 종류는 미용칼라 콘택트렌즈가 139명(55.16%)으로 가장 많았으며, 여성이 177명(88.5%), 남성이 23명(11.5%)으로 나타났다. 콘택트렌즈를 같이 사용한 경험이 있냐는 설문에 대한 응답은 37명(18.5%)이 '있다'라고 응답하였으며, 콘택트렌즈 보관 용기의 교체 여부에 대해서는 '교체하지 않는다'라는 응답이 103명(51.5%)이었으며, 콘택트렌즈 착용자의 안경 사용률을 알아보기 위한 안경이 있는지에 대한 응답에서는 '안경이 있다'라는 응답이 148명(74%))으로 나타났다. 또한, 콘택트렌즈 처음 착용 시기는 중학교가 127명(63.5%)으로 가장 많았으며, 안경 처음 착용 시기는 초등학교 4-6학년이 65명(43.92%)으로 나타났다. 콘택트렌즈는 미용의 목적보다는 시력교정을 위한 목적으로 눈의 건강상태에 맞는 콘택트렌즈 착용이 필요한 것으로 생각되며 콘택트렌즈 착용자의 정기 검사 및 올바른 콘택트렌즈 관리를 위한 안경사의 역할이 중요한 것으로 생각된다.

To investigate the wear status of contact lenses by analyzing care of contact lenses container and actual condition of people wearing contact lenses and in Gyeonggido. The results were based on a questionnaire survey of 200 people who are the students of the middle school, the high school and the college among the clients of opticians to purchase contact lenses for six months from January 2013 to July 2013. According to the poll, the highest number of those polled, 139 (55.16%) people, said they were wearing cosmetic color contact lenses. Female respondents and male respondents were in the proportion of 177 (88.5%) to 23 (11.5%), respectively. 37 people (18.5%) who responded said "yes" to the question of them sharing contact lenses and glasses. 103 people (51.5%) answered "no" to the question of regularly replacing their lens containers. 148 people (74%) answered "yes" to the question of having glasses in order to investigate contact lens wearers user rate of glasses. The highest number of respondents, 127 people (63.5%), said "middle school" was the first time that they wore contacts. Meanwhile, 65 people (43.92%) said they initiated wearing glasses at 4th-6th grades. It is considered that it is necessary using proper contact lenses suitable for the clients' eye health in order of vision correction, rather than for cosmetic purposes. The role of the optician is considered to be very important for the proper management of the appropriate contact lens hygiene and regular optical check-ups of the contact lens wearers.
