본 연구는 근시성 굴절이상과 안압의 상관관계를 조사하였다. 연구대상자는 20대 성인 남녀 총 39명 (남17명, 여 22명) 총 78안을 대상으로 하였다. 안압은 비접촉식 안압계를 사용하여 측정하였고, 근시성 굴절이상은 경도, 중등도, 고도 근시군 3그룹으로 나누어 상관관계를 분석하였다. 대상자의 성별에 의한 안압과 굴절이상도는 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았지만, 근시성 대상안의 굴절이상도가 증가할수록 안압이 증가하였고 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 또한, 경도 근시에 비해 중등도와 고도 근시에서 안압이 높게 나타나는 것은 젊은 나이에 발병할 수 있는 녹내장의 원인이 될 수 있으며, 이는 중장년층의 고도 근시에서 안압과 근시성 굴절이상도간의 상관관계에 대한 바른 인식과 이해에 관한 기초자료로 활용 될 수 있을 것이라고 생각된다.

Purpose: To evaluate the effects on vision care program including traditional Korean treatment for elementary school students. Methods: 172 eyes of eighty-six older elementary students underwent a vision care program, including traditional Korean treatment, for 3 months between March 2010 and June 2010. The vision care program included health education, such as lifestyle modification, vision strengthening exercises and a course of treatment with traditional Korean methods. Traditional Korean treatment covered periocular acupuncture point stimulation, periauricular acupuncture point stimulation and herbal drug therapy. All patients were examined for visual acuity and auto-refraction and filled out a satisfactory questionnaire about ocular discomforts and quality of life before and after treatments. Results: Patients with mild myopia (-0.75~-2.00) were 61 (35.5%), and 46 (26.7%) were emetropia (${\pm}0.50$ or less). After treatment, uncorrected visual acuity in both eyes was $0.77{\pm}0.46$, which was lower than that before treatment ($0.82{\pm}0.51$), but corrected visual acuity was $0.98{\pm}0.21$, which was higher than that before treatment ($0.93{\pm}0.28 $). About the refractive change, the emetropia group showed a slightly myopic shift while the mild myopia group intended to reduce the myopic error. However, this was not statistically significant. The scales of eyeball pain or discomfort decreased significantly from $17.59{\pm}22.5$ before treatment to $10.28{\pm}17.80$ after treatment, and the scales of the quality of life increased from $1.85{\pm}1.25$ before treatment to $2.25{\pm}1.30$ after treatment. Most patients (90.7%) were satisfied with their treatment results. Conclusions: The vision care program including traditional Korean treatment for elementary school students was effective to improve corrected visual acuity in both eyes and delay the progression of school myopia. In addition, it helped to reduce eyeball pain and discomfort and ultimately to enhance quality of life. Long-term follow-up studies will be needed.

Purpose: We performed a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in mild to moderate myopia patients to evaluate the benefit of taking a nutrient supplement containing anthocyanoside oligomers for improving nocturnal visiual function and/or clinical symptoms. Methods: The subjects included have refractive error between -lD(Diopters) $\~$-8D in both eyes, symptoms of decreased night vision and asthenopia based on the scoring result of a pre-structured questionnaire, and abnormal results of mesopic contrast sensitivity(MCS) screening test showing abnormal curve of contrast sensitivity in the middle and high frequency level, between 6.0 and 30.0 CPD(Cycles per degree) at mesopic condition(-2$\~$0 log cd/$m^2$). Total 60 people who qualified the criteria above were enrolled and the subjects were instructed to take the investigational product (anthocyanoside or placebo) twice daily for a 4 week period. The enrolled subjects were investigated for nocturnal vision performance by MCS and clinical symptoms at their first visit and re-evaluated at post-intervention (4 weeks later). MCS was measured and improvement of contrast threshold level according to each CPD was calculated by subtracting initial values from final values. Age, refractive error, and MCS were compared between the placebo and anthocyanoside. Results: After 4 weeks of drug administration 22 of the anthocyanoside group showed symptom improvement compared to 1 of the placebo group (p=0.000). Contrast sensitivity levels according to each CPD before and after drug treatment showed significant improvement in the anthocyanoside group but not in the placebo group. Mean MCS change of anthocyanoside group is 2.41$\pm$1.91 which showed significant improvement compared to -0.40$\pm$2.47 of the placebo group(p=0.000). MCS changes of anthocyanoside group showed significant improvement compared to placebo group in all levels of CPD(p<0.05). During our investigation none of the subjects complained of specific side effects related to anthocyanoside use. Conclusion: Our results show that under careful selection of people with significant symptoms and definite MCS abnormalities, anthocyanoside oligomers may improve the subjective symptoms and objective MCS results.

목적: 중등도 이하 소아 근시에서 안경과 각막굴절교정렌즈(orthokeratology lens, OK) 착용이 안축장 성장에 미치는 영향 및 관련인자를 알아보고자 하였다. 대상과 방법: 2013년부터 2015년까지 내원한 6세에서 13세 사이 -4.50디옵터 이하의 구면렌즈대응치를 가진 소아 100명을 대상으로 후향적으로 OK군(75안)과 안경군(64안) 간에 안축장 변화와 안축장과 관계된 인자들을 분석하였다. 결과: 안축장 변화는 1년째에 OK군이 $0.24{\pm}0.29mm$의 증가를, 안경군이 $0.42{\pm}0.20mm$의 증가를 보였으며, OK군에서 안경군에 비해 유의하게 안축장 성장이 억제되는 양상을 보였다(Mann-Whitney U test, p<0.05). OK군에서 처음 착용한 나이만이 안축장 변화와 음의 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다(Pearson's correlation, r=-0.481, p<0.05). 안경군에서는 처음 착용한 나이가 안축장 변화와 음의 상관관계(Pearson's correlation, r=-0.462, p<0.05)를, 그 외에 현성굴절검사의 초기 구면렌즈대응치 및 초기 구면렌즈값, 난시값은 안축장 변화와 양의 상관관계를 보였다. 안축장 변화를 비교해 보았을 때 OK를 착용한 경우 6세 이상 9세 미만군(28안)에 비해 9세 이상 13세 이하군(47안)에서 유의하게 안축장 성장이 더 억제되는 양상을 보였다(Mann-Whitney U test, p<0.05). 결론: OK 착용은 안경 착용에 비해 효과적으로 안축장의 성장을 억제할 수 있으며, 9세 이상 13세 이하의 소아에서도 효과적인 안축장 성장 억제가 가능하다.

Purpose : To identify those factors influencing the post-operative satisfaction in myopia patients receiving laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) Methods : This study included 288 consecutive patients who received LASIK between July and December 2001 from two eye clinics located in Seoul and Pusan. Factors that were considered to influence post-operative satisfaction included pre-operative baseline characteristics, pre-operative expectation for treatment outcomes, and treatment outcomes. Before undergoing LASIK, study subjects were asked to rate the degree of their expectation for the improvement of visual functions and symptoms after LASIK on a 5-point Likert-type scale: where 1 referred to 'somewhat worse,' 2 to 'no change,' 3 to 'somewhat improved,' 4 to 'improved,' and 5 to 'very improved.' Self-administered questionnaire was used to evaluate baseline visual functions and symptoms on a 5-point scale before LASIK. At 6 months after LASIK, the evaluation was repeated to measure treatment outcomes in terms of the difference in the score before and after LASIK. Post-operative satisfaction was also measured at 6 months on a 5-point scale. Multiple regression analysis was performed to examine the independent relationship between influencing factors and postoperative satisfaction. Results : A total of 171 patients (59.4%) participated in the 6-month follow-up investigation. The average expectation scores for the improvement in visual functions and symptoms were 3.8 and 3.4, respectively. The average score for the 7 questions assessing satisfaction was 4.0. The results of the regression analysis showed that the post-operative satisfaction increased with improvement in the visual function ($\beta$=0.16, p<0.05) and symptoms ($\beta$=0.25, p<0.05), the degree of preoperative refractive error ($\beta$ =0.26-0.67, p<0.05) and in male patients ($\beta$=0.31, p<0.1). The pre-operative expectation was not a statistically significant factor in explaining postoperative satisfaction in the regression model. Conclusion : The finding from this study was that patients with very severe myopia tended to be more satisfied with the treatment than those with mild myopia, which implies that LASIK can be more beneficial to those suffering from a severe visual condition. Patient satisfaction was also significantly affected by the treatment outcomes experienced after LASIK. This suggests that improving the clinical outcome is the most fundamental requirement for the improvement of patient satisfaction.
