Abstract

Purpose: This study has been compared the degree of corneal edema arising from the material of the lens after wearing the recommended wearing time for the contact lens. Methods: For the study, 43 adults of 77 eyes who did not use drugs and have not any disease participated. Three types of lenses including narafilcon A, HEMA, and silicone hydrogel material regular replaceable lenses were used. Central corneal thickness was measured before and after 8 hours from wearing lenses using Pentacam. The degree of corneal edema was determined by the difference before and after wearing. Results: The average corneal edema of narafilcon A, HEMA material lens, and silicone hydrogel material regular replaceable lens were $2.36{\pm}6.15{\mu}m(Mean{\pm}SD)$, $23.61{\pm}10.71{\mu}m$, $18.25{\pm}8.64{\mu}m$, respectively. The central corneal thickness after wearing narafilcon A was not statistically significant with the central corneal thickness before wearing the lens. Central corneal thickness before and after wearing HEMA material lens and silicone hydrogel material regular replaceable lens were statistically significant. Conclusions: The amount of corneal edema induced by silicone hydrogel material regular replaceable lens was no statistically significant difference to the amount of corneal edema induced by HEMA material lens, but there was significant difference to narafilcon A. Therefore, it is judged to be careful not to exceed the recommended wearing time depending on the composition of the contact lens material.

목적: 콘택트렌즈를 권장착용시간 동안 착용한 후에 렌즈의 재질에 따라 발생하는 각막부종의 정도를 비교해 보고자 한다. 방법: 안질환이나 약물사용이 없는 성인남녀 43명 77안을 대상으로 하였다. Narafilcon A, HEMA, 실리콘 하이드로젤 재질의 정기교체형 렌즈 3종의 렌즈를 사용하였다. 중심각막두께는 Pentacam을 사용하여 렌즈 착용 전과 8시간 착용 후를 측정하였다. 착용 전과 후의 차이 값으로 각막부종의 정도를 판단하였다. 결과: Narafilcon A, HEMA 재질의 렌즈, 실리콘 하이드로젤 재질의 정기교체형 렌즈의 평균 각막부종은 각각 $2.36{\pm}6.15{\mu}m(Mean{\pm}SD)$, $23.61{\pm}10.71{\mu}m$, $18.25{\pm}8.64{\mu}m$였다. Narafilcon A를 착용한 뒤 측정된 중심각막두께는 착용 전 측정한 중심각막두께와 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다. HEMA와 실리콘 하이드로젤 재질의 렌즈에서 착용 후에 유발된 각막부종은 그 정도에 있어 narafilcon A와 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다. 결론: 정기교체형 실리콘 하이드로젤 재질 렌즈에서 유발된 각막부종의 양은 HEMA 재질의 렌즈에서 유발된 각막부종의 양과 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었지만 narafilcon A와는 유의한 차이가 있었다. 따라서 콘택트렌즈 재료의 조성에 따라 권장착용시간을 초과하지 않도록 주의해야 할 것으로 판단된다.
