초록

목적: 진주지역에서 무작위로 선정된 근시 안경착용 초등학생들을 대상으로 착용안경의 굴절교정상태와 조절기능 상태를 파악해 보고자 하였다. 방법: 만 8세~12세의 근시안경 착용 초등학생 60명을 대상으로 타각적 자각적 굴절검사 후 조절력 검사, 음성 양성상대조절력검사, 양안 단안 조절용이검사, 그리고 동적검영법을 실시하였다. 결과: 착용안경의 굴절교정상태는 완전교정이 7명(11.7%)이었고, 53명(88.3%)은 저교정으로 나타났다. 저교정 상태의 시력이 0.8 이상인 경우가 6명(10%), 0.8 미만인 경우가 47명(78.3%)로 나타났다. 조절기능 상태를 조사한 결과, 조절부족 4명, 조절용이성 부족 2명, 조절과다 1명, 그리고 시 기능이상 관련 조절부족이 1명의 총 8명(13.3%)이었다. 결론: 성장기에 있는 초등학생들은 굴절교정상태는 정기적인 검사를 필요로 하며, 조절기능 상태를 고려한 굴절교정이 절실히 필요한 것으로 나타났다.

Purpose: This study was designed to investigate the condition of refractive correction on wearing glasses currently of elementary school children and their accommodative ability in Jinju city. Methods: Objective refraction, subjective refraction, amplitude of accommodation, negative and positive accommodation, accommodative facility, and dynamic retinoscopy were examined on 60 elemenary school children who aged 8~12 wearing myopiacorrected glasses. Results: The condition of refractive corrections was distributed that a case of full correction was 11.7%, a case of low correction with more than 0.8 visual acuity (VA) was 10%, and a case of low correction with less than 0.8 VA was 78.3% in wearing glasses currently. In results from examination of accommodative ability, the number of children having accommodative anomaly is 8 persons (13.3%), they were divided into accommodation insufficiency (4 persons), accommodative facility insufficiency (2 persons), accommodation excess (1 person), and accommodation insufficiency related to ocular function (1 person). Conclusions: It is demanded a periodic inspection of refractive correction to growing children, and the refractive correction after due consideration to accommodative ability is really needed.
