Abstract

Purpose: To investigate the prevalence of congenital and age-related color vision deficiencies over a wide range of ages among residents in two urban communities of Kyeonggi-Do. Methods: A total of 935 subjects, consisting of 452 males and 483 females, participated in this study. Lanthony D-15 desaturated panels test were used to assess color vision. Results: Prevalence of color vision deficiency was 4.81% for total, 6.64% for males and 3.11% for females. Congenital color vision deficiency was 3.54% for males and 0.41% for females. Tritan deficiency, which was the post-natal age-related, was 2.99% (3.32% for males, and 2.69% for females). Conclusions: The result imply that color vision deficiencies is influenced by age. As an age-related color vision deficiencies, Tritan is most frequently found in the age group over 50.

목적: 경기도 두 도시지역 거주자들중 넓은 범위의 연령대에서 선천적색각이상과 연령관련 색각이상의 유병률을 조사하였다. 방법: 남자 452명, 여자 483명으로 구성된 총 935명의 연구대상자가 본 연구에 참여하였다. 색각검사는 Lanthony 15 panel test를 사용하였다. 결과: 연구대상자 중 색각이상을 나타낸 유병률은 전체 4.81%, 남자 6.64%, 여자 3.11%였다. 선천적 색각이상은 남자 3.54%, 여자 0.41%였다. 연령에 따른 후천적 청황색색각이상은 2.99%(남자 3.32%, 여자 2.69%)였다. 결론: 연구결과는 색각이상이 연령에 영향을 받는다는 것을 나타내며, 나이에 의한 색각장애로서 청황색색각이상은 50세 이후 연령그룹에서 가장 높은 비율로 발생한다.
