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.

Objectives The purpose of this study is to obtain knowledge and views on treatment of acupuncture and acupressure for myopia. Methods The key words such as 'myopia, acupuncture', 'myopia, acupressure', 'refractive errors, acupuncture', 'refractive errors, acupressure' are used for the research through PubMed. Total 13 studies among the searched 66 were analyzed, except duplicated studies and have little relation to myopia or acupuncture and acupressure. Results Total 13 studies were selected: RCT (5), NRCT (3), UCT (3), Review (2). RCT had two studies on treatment by stimulating auricular acupoints, one study on a treatment by stimulating auricular acupoints and meridian acupoints, one study on a treatment to stimulate auricular acupoints with medication, and one study on electroacupuncture. In NRCT, two studies were on treatment to stimulate auricular acupoints with medication and only one study was on analysis of effect according to intensity of acupuncture. UCT had two studies on acupuncture, and one study on treatment to stimulate auricular acupoints. In Review, there were one study on introduction of Chinese eye exercises, and one study on systematic review for effectiveness and safety of acupuncture. Conclusions The effect on treatment of acupuncture and acupressure for myopia had mostly positive results. However, still not many researches were done to conclude this found. Also, the design of the experiment should be more accurate with systematically designed experimental group and control group.

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.

Purpose. to describe the prevalence of refractive error according to aging in young children in South Korea. Methods : From July 2013 to June 2014, five hundred subjects( 250 male subjects, 250 female subjects; aged between 7 and 12 years) were performed in refraction test using the Auto-Refraction. Myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and anisometropia were defined as spherical equivalent(SE)${\leq}-0.50$ diopters, SE ${\geq}+2.00$ D, cylinder error ${\geq}0.75$ D and SE difference${\geq}1.00$ D between binocular eyes, respectively. Results. The refractive error by spherical equivalent among all subjects was myopia 80.41%, astigmatism 44.89%, emmetropia 18.27%, anisometropia 16.92%, and hyperopia 1.32%. The prevalence of myopia increased with age. but hyperopia was decrease. Myopia and astigmatism were much more common in male than females although the difference was not statically significant. Emmetropia and hyperopia were much more common in female than males although the difference was not statically significant. The prevalence of spherical equivalent was much common from -1.00 diopter to 0.99 diopter. On the other hand, the prevalence of myopia was much more than hyperopia. There was a statistical significance between 9 year and 10 year of female in the spherical equivalent power(p>0.05). In all another group of age, there was not a statistical significance as aging in spherical equivalent power(p>0.5). However, there was a statistical significance between male and female as age in the spherical equivalent power(P>0.01). Conclusions: Myopia was the most common refractive error in Korea young children, while hyperopia was decreased after 7 years. There was a statistical significance as age between male and female at spherical equivalent power(P> 0.01). these results suggested that the analysis of the refractive error as age at young children can give the useful diagnosis data for the correction of visual function.

Objectives This study was performed to evaluate the clinical effect of acupuncture on children's myopia. Methods Among the outpatients with myopia who visited to Department of Acupuncture & Moxibustion, National Medical Center from June 2000 to May 2001, we selected 50 cases that did not involve ,any other pathological condition of eyes and patient age was below 17, whose eyes including with glasses or naked examined by monoocular and biocular visual acuity test per each visit and followed up for 6 weeks. Results We investigated 29 female and 21 male patients. The most distribution of age was 12.26. First mean biocular visual acutity was $0.2{\pm}0.074$. Last mean biocular visual acuity after 6 weeks was $0.8{\pm}0.046(p<0.001). Improved cases on biocular test were 38 cases($76.00\%$). Conclusions These results suggest that the acupuncture therapy is effective treatment modality on children's myopia.

Background and Objectives To assess the effectiveness of overnight orthokeratology (OK) in myopia using a new contact lens design over a one-month wearing period. Materials and Methods Participants were required to have myopia between -3.00 and -7.50D and astigmatism ≤ 2.00 D to participate in the study. The participants underwent OK with the White OK lens^® (Interojo, Pyungtek, Korea), which has a 6-curve lens design. Participants were assessed at weeks 1, 2, and 4 using slit-lamp bio-microscopy, and tested for refraction, uncorrected distance visual acuity, and corneal topography. Success was defined as achieving a Logarithm of the Minimum Angle of Resolution (logMAR) ≤ 0.1. Results A total of 46 eligible subjects with a mean age of 23.11 ± 7.89 years were recruited. Baseline logMAR was 1.18 ± 0.30 and a consistent decrease in logMAR was observed from week 1 to week 4. The success rate was 95.35% at week 4. The mean sphere significantly decreased from a mean pre-fitting value of -4.58 ± 1.28 D to a mean value of -0.65 ± 0.69 D at week 4 (p < 0.0001). Statistically significant corneal flattening was detected during keratometry at week 4. Conclusion Overnight OK with the White OK lens is effective for the correction of moderate and high myopia with astigmatism over a one-month wearing period.

인위적 근시에서 측정된 시력을 이론적 계산과 비교하였다. 계산은 망막에 형성되는 착란원 뿐만 아니라 상의 높이도 포함시켰다. 착란원은 기하광학적 모델에서 계산하였으며, 망각상의 높이는 인위적 근시에서 측정된 굴절력과 시력과의 관계로 계산하였다. 이 결과를 착란원과 망막상 높이의 비로서 망막상비를 정의하여 시력크기에 대한 망막상비의 관계를 조사하였다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to estimate the prevalence and correlated factors of high myopia in 19 year-old men in Southeast Korea. Methods: This retrospective study was based on the medical checkup data of conscription during 2005. The study subjects were 19 years old men in Busan, Ulsan and Gyeongsangnam-do. The health checkup data of the conscripts consisted of noncycloplegic autorefraction test, the biometric data and social factors. To analyze the social and biometric effects, we classified the biometric factors into 4 or 5 groups and the social factors into 3 groups. High myopia was defined as a spherical equivalent of under -6.0 diopter. Data analysis was performed using the chi square test for trends and multiple logistic regression analysis. The SAS(version 9.1) program was used for all the analyses. Results: The prevalence of high myopia was 12.39% (6256 / 50 508). The factors correlated with high myopia were the residence area (OR, 2.07; 95% CI, 1.77 to 2.4 for small city; OR, 2.01; 95% CI, 1.72 to 2.34 for metropolis; the reference group was rural area), academic achievement (OR, 1.43; 95% CI, 1.34 to 1.53 for students of 4-and 6-year-course university; the reference group was high school graduates & under) and blood pressure (OR, 1.54; 95% CI, 1.10 to 2.16 for hypertension; OR, 1.09; 95% CI, 1.02 to 1.17 for prehypertension; OR, 1.10; 95% CI, 1.01 to 1.20 for hypotension; the reference group was normal blood pressure). Conclusions: More than one tenth of the young men were high myopia as one of the risk factor for visual loss. Further studies on high myopia and its complications are needed to improve eye health in Southeast Korea.
