Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the distribution and correlation of accommodative lag with refractive error. Method: We had tested the clinical refraction and the accommodative lag in clinically normal 49 young adults (total 98 eyes) aged 18 to 25 years without abnormal binocular function. Monocular and binocular accommodative lag were tested with 0.50 D cross-cylinder lens and near vision test chart which had cross-hairs after full correction of LogMAR visual acuity over 0.05. Results: There was no statistical differences in monocular accommodative lag between right ($0.64{\pm}0.64$ D) and left eye ($0.63{\pm}0.64$)(p=0.858). The accommodative lag of male was higher than female and the range of the value was broader than female in binocular accommodative lag (p=0.015). The wider the inter-pupillary distance was, the higher the accommodative lag was (p=0.003). However, there were no differences with age (p=0.800) and dominant eye (p=0.402). The ranges of accommodative lag of low, middle, and high myopia were 0.75 ~ -0.25 D, 1.25 ~ -0.50 D, and 1.50 ~ -0.75 D, respectively, and the regression was 'y = -0.03953x+0.09205'. Conclusions: These data suggest that clinically normal young adults with high amounts of refractive error have more variable accommodative lag and increased spherical equivalent refraction.
목적: 본 연구는 굴절이상에 따른 조절래그의 분포와 연관성을 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 양안시 기능에 문제가 없는 만18세~25세 이하 초년 성인을 대상으로 우안 49안, 좌안 49안(총 98안)의 굴절이상과 조절래그를 검사하였다. 조절래그는 LogMAR 시력 0.05(소수시력 0.9) 이상 완전교정한 후에 크로스실린더와 근거리 십자시표를 이용하여 단안과 양안을 측정하였다. 결과: 단안의 조절래그량은 우안 $0.64{\pm}0.64$ D, 좌안 $0.63{\pm}0.64$ D로 우안이 많았지만 통계적인 차이는 없었다(p=0.858). 양안에서는 남자가 1.50 ~ -0.75($0.31{\pm}0.44$)로 여자 0.50 ~ -0.75$-0.02{\pm}0.33$) 보다 평균값의 범위가 넓고 크게 나타났으며(p=0.015), 동공간 거리가 멀수록 조절래그량은 많았지만(p=0.003) 연령과 우위안에 따른 분석에서는 차이가 없었다(p=0.800, p=0.402). 굴절이상에 따른 조절래그 범위는 저도근시 0.75 ~ -0.25 D, 중등도 근시 1.25 ~ -0.50 D, 고도근시 1.50 ~ -0.75 D로 분포하였고 등가구면 굴절력과는 y = -0.03953x+0.09205의 관계식을 나타냈다. 결론: 조절래그는 등가구면 굴절력이 클수록 분포범위가 넓고 평균값이 높은 것으로 분석되었다.
