목적: 안구크기의 생체 측정값과 눈 굴절이상 정도에 따른 상호 연관성을 비교 조사하고자 하였다. 방법: 평균연령이 22.85${\pm}$3.12세의 정상 대학생 68명(남 36, 여 32)을 대상으로 초음파(A-scan)를 이용하여 측정과 시력측정을 하였고, 그 결과를 SPSS 12.0 version을 이용해 통계학적 유의성을 조사하였다. 결과: 측정한 평균값은 안축장 24.31${\pm}$1.24 mm, 전방깊이 3.48${\pm}$0.28 mm, 렌즈두께 3.56${\pm}$0.26 mm 그리고 각막두께 0.55${\pm}$0.03 mm 이었다. 측정값의 안축장과 전방깊이는 남자가 크지만 렌즈두께는 여자가 두껍게 조사되었다. 렌즈두께는 굴절이상 적을수록 두꺼웠지만, 각막두께는 남, 여 모두 같았다. 좌 우안의 측정값은 차이가 없었으며 T-test 결과도 연관성이 없었다. 측정치의 Pearson Chi-Square 검정 결과는 안축장과 전방깊이, 안축장과 렌즈두께, 전방깊이와 렌즈두께 그리고 굴절이상과 렌즈두께는 p<0.01 수준에서 유의한 상관관계가 있었다. 굴절이상과 안축장은 선형회귀분석 검정결과 음(-) 선형관계를 나타내었다(r=-0.56). 결론: 눈 굴절이상은 안축장, 전방깊이, 렌즈두께에 의해 결정되지만, 좌 우안이나 성별의 차이와는 관계가 없었다.
Purpose: To make a comparative study of correlation between biometry data of size in eyeball and refractive error. Methods: The subjects were 68 normal university students (male 36, female 32) and the average age was 22.85${\pm}$3.12. We measured the students' eyesight by A-scan ultrasound and refractor. The results were examined it's statistical significance by SPSS 12.0 version. Results: The mean of axial length was 24.31${\pm}$1.24 mm, chamber depth was 3.48${\pm}$0.28 mm, lens thickness was 3.56${\pm}$0.26 mm and corneal thickness was 0.55${\pm}$0.03 mm. Male's Axial length and chamber depth were larger than female's. As reflective error decreases the thickness of lens become thicker. The measurement data between right eye and left eye didn't had difference and there was no correlation with result of T-test. There were statistically significant correlation with length and chamber depth, axial length and corneal thickness, chamber depth and corneal thickness, and refractive error and lens thickness (p<0.01). Refractive error and axial length were minus linear regression (r=-0.56). Conclusions: Eye's refractive error was changed by axial length, chamber depth and lens thickness but it wasn't related with sex and whether it is a right eye or a left eye.
