Abstract
Purpose: The kappa angles of human eye were measured by photographs. The relationship between the dominant eye and far refractivity is studied. Methods: 112 adults participated in this study. The mean age was $22.54{\pm}5.90$ years. The kappa angles were measured by the deviation of the flash image in the photographs of eye. the dominant eye and the far refractivity were analyzed. Results: The distributions of kappa angles were 78.6% (176 eyes) in the positive angle, 15.2% (34 eyes) in the negative angle, and 6.2% (14 eyes) in the $0^{\circ}$. The kappa angles were $4.50{\pm}4.70^{\circ}$ for the dominant eye, $4.93{\pm}4.34^{\circ}$ for the non-dominant eye, $+6.00{\pm}2.22^{\circ}$ for the hypermetropia, $4.91{\pm}4.97^{\circ}$ for the emmetropia, and $+4.61{\pm}4.49^{\circ}$ for the myopia. The biggest kappa angles was odserved in the hypermetropia and the angles was getting smaller in the emmetropia, and the myopia. Conclusions: The kappa angle of the dominant eye was smaller than non-dominant eye. The kappa angle was smaller as the far refractivity is lower. The kappa angle can be directly measured by the photographic method.
목적: 눈의 카파각을 사진촬영방법으로 확인하였으며, 우세안과 원점굴절도와의 상관관계를 연구하였다. 방법: 성인 112명, 평균나이는 $22.54{\pm}5.90$세를 대상으로 카메라 플래시를 터트리면서 양안의 사진을 촬영하였다. 촬영된 사진으로 카파각을 측정하였으며, 우세안과 원점굴절도와의 관계를 비교분석하였다. 결과: 카파각의 부호는 양성이 78.6%(176안), 음성이 15.2%(34안), $0^{\circ}$가 6.2%(14안)이었고, 크기는 우세안 $+4.50{\pm}4.70^{\circ}$, 비우세안 $+4.93{\pm}4.34^{\circ}$로 나타났으며, 원시안에서 $+6.00{\pm}2.22^{\circ}$, 정시안에서 $+4.91{\pm}4.97^{\circ}$, 근시안에서 $+4.61{\pm}4.49^{\circ}$로 원시안에서 가장 크고 정시안, 근시안의 순으로 감소하였다. 결론: 우세안의 카파각이 비우세안보다 작았으며, 원점굴절도가 작을수록 카파각이 작았다. 사진촬영 방법으로 카파각을 직접 평가할 수 있었다.
