Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the distribution of the cornea thickness and intra ocular pressure Korean adult of 20 to 24 year old using the Pentacam and tonometer. Methods: The subjects of this study were 43 Korean adults with healthy eyes. Corneal thickness was measured with Pentacam device. The intra ocular pressure was measured with tonometer. Data was analyzed by means of the Pearson's correlation cofficient. P-values<0.001 were considered statistically significant. Results: Mean age of subjects was 20.41±0.86 years. The mean +/- intra ocular pressure of the right eye and left eye were 16.236±2.523mmHg and 16.971±1.992mmHg, respectively. The mean central corneal thickness of the right eye and left eye was 545.324±38.682㎛ and 547.442±33.778㎛, respectively. No significant difference in central corneal thickness was found between the right and left eyes. But, there was a statistically significant difference between central cornea thickness and peripheral cornea thickness around 4 mm of central cornea(p<0.001, Pearson's correlation). However there was no statistically significant difference between central cornea thickness and intra ocular pressure. Conclusion: The results of this study could be used as a clinical reference data for diagnosis and treatment of cornea in Korean adult.

목적: 콘택트렌즈 피팅 시 렌즈 관련 사양의 변화에 따라 다른 값을 가지는 각막에서 산소부족이 없는 최소 Dk값 및 산소농도를 계산/확인할 수 있는 프로그램을 수립하고자 하였다. 방법: 엑셀 프로그램을 이용하여 콘택트렌즈착용 시 렌즈 아래 형성되는 눈물층의 두께와 Dk값을 계산할 수 있는 방정식을 세우고 수치 계산 모델을 확립하였다. 결과: 렌즈사양을 변화시키면 렌즈 아래 눈물층의 두께가 변하며 이에 따라 산소투과도가 다르게되므로 각막이 요구하는 최소 산소농도 역시 달라짐을 계산으로 확인하였으며, 눈물층의 두께를 위한 계산 프로그램은 눈물층의 형태에 따라 다르게 선택되어야 함을 밝혔다. 즉, flat 피팅 시에는 렌즈가장자리와 각막이 만나서 만들어지는 오목면의 형태에 따라 렌즈 아래 눈물층의 두께가 결정되며, flat하게 피팅 될수록 각막주변부 표면의 산소농도는 감소되어 계산값으로는 (-)가 되며 실제로는 산소농도는 0이 된다. Tight 피팅 시 각막표면의 산소를 계산하면 tight 피팅으로 눈물층의 두께가 렌즈의 두께보다 극단적으로 두꺼워지게 되어 계산값은 역시 (-)가 되며 각막 표면의 산소 농도는 0이 되어 산소결핍을 야기하게 됨을 알 수 있다. 결론: 콘택트렌즈의 변수를 조절하여 피팅 상태를 변경할 때에는 눈물층의 두께와 이에 따른 각막표면의 산소농도를 정확하게 계산하여 산소결핍이 나타나는 일이 없도록 하여야 한다.

Purpose: Changes in corneal thickness after wearing hydrogel lens and silicone-hydrogel lens with different oxygen transmission rates wew syudied. Methods: Experiments were performed on 11 subjects(22 eyes). corneal thickness was measured after wearing contact lenses for 8 hours. Corneal thickness was measured using ORB Scan II(ver. 3.14) Results: In the results of the corneal thickness measurement by direction, in the case of the hydrogel-tor lens, the center thickness was $33.63{\mu}m$, the nasal was $34.29{\mu}m$, the temporal was $27.17{\mu}m$, the inferior was $27.17{\mu}m$, the superior was $18.90{\mu}m$, and change rates were 6.28%, 5.71%, 5.40%, 4.75% and 3.09%, respectively. In the results of the corneal thickness measurement by diameter, in the case of the hydrogel-tor lens, the center was $33.63{\mu}m$, the mid-peripheral was $28.19{\mu}m$, the peripheral was $24.18{\mu}m$, and change rates were 6.28%, 4.76%, and 3.79%, respectively. Conclusions: The hydrogel lenses with relatively low oxygen transmission rates resulted in a significant increase in thickness over the entire cornea compared to silicon-hydrogel lenses with high oxygen transmission rates.
