Abstract

Purpose: This study was to compare the contrast sensitivity evaluated the visual ability at near wearing functional lenses for pre-presbyopes altered their single vision lenses to functional progressive addition lenses with low addition for 2 months. Methods: Healthy 32 subjects aged 24.03${\pm}$1.87 (male 23, female 9) who were recruited from university students wore functional progressive addition lenses(EYE-T, Chemilens Co., Korea, ADD 0.75D) for 2 months. Corrected visual acuity at distance and near and contrast sensitivity at near were tested right after wearing functional progressive addition lenses to compare wearing single vision lenses. And we had second test after 2 months later. Results: Comparing between test and retest, contrast sensitivity at near wearing functional progressive addition lenses was improved more than wearing single vision lenses at all spatial frequency of right, left and both eyes. Conclusions: There was considered that contrast sensitivity test is useful to evaluate the visual ability as well as quality of near work and can be applied variously.

목적: 단초점렌즈를 착용했던 노안 이전의 젊은 사람에게 낮은 가입도로 설계된 기능성 누진가입도렌즈를 2개월동안 교체 착용하게 하여 기존의 단초점렌즈와 기능성 누진가입도렌즈와의 근거리 시각적 능력을 평가하는 대비감도 검사를 비교 분석하여 임상적인 성능 차이를 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 안질환이 없는 평균연령 24.03${\pm}$1.87세의 대학생 32명(남자 23명, 여자 9명)을 대상으로 하여 단초점렌즈와 기능성 누진가입도렌즈(EYE-T, $Chemilens^{(R)}$ Co., Korea, 가입도 0.75D)를 2개월 동안 착용하게 하였다. 이때 기능성 누진가입도렌즈 착용 직후(1차)와 착용 2개월 후 (2차)에 원, 근거리 교정시력 측정, 근거리 대비감도 검사를 실시하여 결과를 비교하였다. 결과: 기능성 누진가입도 렌즈 착용 전과 착용 2개월 후에 측정하여 비교한 근거리 대비감도는 모든 공간주파수 영역에서 우안, 좌안, 양안 모두 단초점렌즈보다 기능성 누진가입도렌즈를 착용하였을 때 근거리 대비감도가 높게 측정되었다. 결론: 근거리에 관련된 시각적 능력과 질을 평가하는데 대비감도 검사가 유용하고 다양하게 응용될 수 있다고 사료된다.
