Abstract

This study is about the development of ICT-based wearable devices for vision recovery that can cause functional myopia improvement through accommodation training. Vision Training Device(OTUS) is a head mount type wearable device, which naturally stimulates the contraction and relaxation of the ciliary muscles of eye. Users can conduct customized vision training based on personal vision information stored through the device. In the experiment, the effects of improvement of the symptoms by the accommodation training were compared and analysed for the two groups (16 comparative group and 16 accommodation training group) after causing functional myopia. The result showed the functional myopia improved average 0.44D±0.35 (p<0.05) at the accommodation training group compared to the comparative group. This study proved the effectiveness of vision training device(OTUS) on functional myopia, but further clinical trials are judged necessary to prove the possibility of long-term control of the functional myopia.

본 연구는 조절훈련을 통한 기능성 근시개선 효과를 유발할 수 있는, ICT 기반의 시력회복용 웨어러블 디바이스의 개발에 관한 것이다. 시력훈련기기(OTUS)는 헤드마운트 형태를 가지는 웨어러블 디바이스로써 섬모체 근육의 수축과 이완, 눈모음과 눈벌림을 자연스럽게 자극하는 조절 훈련기기이다. 사용자는 디바이스를 통해 저장된 개인 시력정보를 바탕으로 맞춤형 시력훈련을 진행할 수 있다. 실험에서는 기능성 근시를 유발한 후 두 그룹(비교군 16명, 조절훈련군 16명)에 대해 조절훈련으로 인한 증상의 개선 효과를 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과 조절훈련군에서 기능성 근시가 평균 0.44D±0.35(p<0.05)로 개선되었다. 이 연구가 시력훈련기기(OTUS)의 기능성 근시에 대한 유효성을 밝히고 있지만, 기능성 근시를 장기간 제어할 수 있는 가능성을 입증하기 위해 추가적인 임상시험이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
