초록

목적: 듀안 화이트(Duane White)에 따른 양성 융합버전스가 부족한 환자에게서 나타나는 기본형 외사위 환자 또는 폭주부족 환자의 일반적인 처치 방법인 양성융합버전스를 직접적으로 늘려 줄 수 있는 BO Prism 훈련 방법으로 프레넬 프리즘렌즈를 이용한 훈련효과에 대해서 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 안질환이 없는 대전 시내 모 대학의 학생 15명(평균 연령 $22.73{\pm}1.68$세)을 선정하여 굴절검사 및 양안시기능 검사를 진행하여 시기능훈련 전 데이터를 기록하고 완전교정을 한 후에 프레넬 프리즘렌즈를 접착하여 1일 30분, 2주간 시기능훈련을 실시하였다. 이 후 양안 시기능 검사를 재실시하여 양성융합버전스의 변화와 그에 동일하게 모건의 B그룹에 해당하는 조절변화값을 관찰하여 프레넬 프리즘 렌즈의 시기능 훈련 효과를 연구하였다. 결과: 근거리 양성 융합버젼스 평균값이 훈련 후 $22.27{\pm}2.26$ $\Delta$로 7.80 $\Delta$ 만큼의 융합여력이 증가하였고, 근거리 양안조절반응 검사 값의 평균은 훈련 후 $0.55{\pm}0.09$ D로 0.40 D 만큼 증가하여 정상치를 나타내었다. 근거리 음성상대조절값의 평균은 훈련 후 $2.22{\pm}0.08$ D를 나타내 0.42 D 만큼 증가하였으며 폭주근점의 평균은 훈련 후 $6.13{\pm}0.53$ cm로 2.80 cm 만큼 짧아졌다. 폭주부족 환자 및 기본형 외사위 환자의 BO 양성 융합버전스를 늘려 줄 수 있는 프레넬 프리즘을 이용한 근거리 시기능 값을 조사하였고 사위량은 제외한 값이 증가하거나 향상되는 결과를 나타내었다. 결론: 프레넬 프리즘렌즈의 효과는 렌즈 자체의 특성으로 인하여 미용적인 효과와 비용절감, 큰 광학적인 교정 효과를 나타내며 양성융합버전스 값이 증가하는 효과를 나타내는 것을 알 수 있었다. 프레넬 프리즘렌즈를 이용한 양안시 이상의 환자들에게 처치는 보다 대중적이고 많은 추천이 될 수 있음을 판단 할 수 있다.

Purpose: Of the various methods of vision training, the essay aims to explore the effective ways of using the Fresnel prism lens in order to expand the positive fusional vergence for the patient having specific condition of convergence insufficiency or basic exophoria. Methods: 15 students of city of Daejeon university without an eye disease (average age $22.73{\pm}1.68$) were selected and underwent the subjective refraction test and binocular vision test, and recording their test results before vision training and replacing an identical frame with a lens of same quality after the full calibration, the lens was then adhered with the Fresnel prism lens and continued to train for thirty minutes daily during two weeks. Afterwards, the binocular vision test was reattempted. The observation of the change in the results of the binocular vision test in use of the fresnel prism lens in the vision training test was researched. Results: After training, the positive fusional vergence had increased to a number of $22.27{\pm}2.26$ $\Delta$, to 7.80 $\Delta$, at near, the fused cross cylinder test increased to an average of $0.55{\pm}0.09$ D, 0.40 D after training, showing a normal result. The value of negative relative accommodation after training had an average of $2.22{\pm}0.08$D, showing that 0.42 D had increased. The value of near point of convergence after training had an average of $6.13{\pm}0.53$ cm, showing that 2.80 cm had decreased. To patients who had convergence insufficiency or basic exophoria, the value of the near vision test that used the Fresnel prism lens which was able to expand BO positive fusional vergence had increased without phoria. Conclusions: The changes were tested and the effectiveness of the Fresnel prism lens, due to the nature of the lens itself, helped with both cosmetic effects and cost. It also allows good optical correction effects, in addition to these clinical effects indicated before. Therefore, it may be determined that the Fresnel prism lens binocular vision therapy for patients is more popular and highly recommended.
