초록

목적: 각막형상이나 각막난시도, 피팅상태가 구면 RGP 렌즈를 피팅함에 있어서 각막 중앙안정위치(stable centration)에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 밝히고자 하였다. 방법: 각막난시가 0.00~2.75 D인 원형 각막 29안 및 대칭나비형 각막 45안을 대상으로 RGP 렌즈를 양호한 피팅상태, 스팁한 피팅상태, 플랫한 피팅상태로 착용시키고 각막에서의 렌즈 위치를 촬영하여 분석하였다. 결과: 구면 RGP 렌즈의 수직방향 렌즈 안정 위치는 모든 경우에 아래 쪽으로 중심이탈되었으며 중심이탈 정도는 일관성이 없었다. 수평방향의 렌즈 안정위치는 렌즈의 베이스커브가 커짐에 따라 귀 쪽으로 렌즈 중심이 이탈되는 정도가 통계적으로 유의하게 커졌으며 각막형상과 난시도, 피팅상태에 따라 렌즈 중심의 이탈 정도에 차이가 있었다. 동일한 난시도를 가진 원형 각막은 대칭나비형 각막에 비해 렌즈 중심이 귀쪽방향으로의 이탈 정도가 더 컸다. 결론: 구면 RGP 렌즈의 피팅상태, 난시도 및 각막형상에 따라 중심안정위치가 달라지며 이를 고려하면 RGP 렌즈 처방 시 성공률을 높일 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

Purpose: The present study was conducted to investigate whether there is any difference in the centration of spherical RGP lens on cornea according to corneal types, corneal astigmatism and lens fitting states. Methods: Spherical RGP lens was fitted on 29 eyes of round-typed cornea and 45 eyes of symmetric bowtie-typed cornea with 0.00~2.75 D of corneal astigmatism in alignment, steep or flat. Their lens centrations on cornea were analyzed by taking photographs. Results: The centration of spherical RGP lens in the vertical direction was decentrated to downward direction in all cases, and the degree of decentration was not consistent. The lens centration in horizontal direction was significantly more-decentrated to the temporal meridian as base curve of lens was increased, and the degree of decentration was different according to the corneal type, corneal astigmatism and fitting states. With the same degree of astigmatism, the lens decentration to the temporal meridian was bigger in round-typed cornea than that in symmetirc bowtie-typed cornea. Conclusions: The centration of spherical RGP lens varies depending on lens fitting states, corneal astigmatism, and corneal types. Thus, the consideration of these factors may improve the success rate in RGP lens prescription.
