초록

목적: 본 연구는 각막 전면의 지형과 각막의 두께를 이용하여 각막 후면 정점 곡률과 asphericity(Q)를 측정하기 위해 고안된 새로운 방법의 신뢰도 평가를 위해서 시행 되었다. 방법: 각막 후면의 정점 곡률 및 Q는 Medmont E300 corneal topographer로 측정한 각막 전면의 지형 data와 Holden-Payor optical pachometer로 측정한 각막 수평 경선의 두께 data를 이용하여 계산 되었다. 정확한 각막 두께를 계산 하기위하여 각막 전면 측정 위치의 곡률반경과 각막의 겉보기 두께로부터 각막의 실제 두께를 계산 할 때 정확한 방정식을 이용하였으며, 이는 선행 연구와 구별되는 점이다. 그리고 각막 전면과 후면의 지형은 각막 전면의 지형 data와 계산된 각막 후면의 좌표를 best fit 알고리즘을 이용하여 계산 되었다. 각막 후면의 지형 측정의 신뢰도는 10개의 polymethyl methacrylate(PMMA) lens와 성인 5명의 각막을 측정 하여 평가 하였다. 결과: 10개의 PMMA lens를 이용한 평가에서는 후면 정점 곡률과 후면 Q의 mean absolute accuracy(${\pm}SD$)는 각각 $0.053{\pm}0.044mm$(95% 신뢰구간(CI) -0.033~0.139)와 $0.10{\pm}0.10$(95% CI -0.10~0.31)이였다. 그리고 5명의 각막을 이용한 평가에서의 각막 후면 정점 곡률과 후면 Q의 mean absolute repeatability coefficient(${\pm}SD$)는 각각 $0.07{\pm}0.06mm$(95% CI -0.05~0.19)와 $0.09{\pm}0.07$(95% CI -0.05~0.23) 이였다. 결론: 새로운 방법을 이용하여 신뢰할 수 있는 각막 후면의 지형(정점 곡률과 Q)을 계산 할 수 있었다. 이러한 새로운 방법은 살아있는 인체 각막의 정확한 후면 지형 계산에 적용 될 수 있다.

Purpose: Validating a new research method to determine posterior corneal curvature and asphericity(Q) in vivo, based on measurements of anterior corneal topography and corneal thickness. Methods: Anterior corneal topographic data, derived from the Medmont E300 corneal topographer, and total corneal thickness data measured along the horizontal corneal meridian using the Holden-Payor optical pachometer, were used to calculate the anterior and posterior corneal apical radii of curvature and Q. To calculate accurate total corneal thickness the local radius of anterior corneal curvature, and an exact solution for the relationship between real and apparent thickness were taken into consideration. This method differs from previous approach. An elliptical curve for anterior and posterior cornea were calculated by using best fit algorism of the anterior corneal topographic data and derived coordinates of the posterior cornea respectively. For validation of the calculations of the posterior corneal topography, ten polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) lenses and right eyes of five adult subjects were examined. Results: The mean absolute accuracy (${\pm}$standard deviation(SD)) of calculated posterior apical radius and Q of ten PMMA lenses was $0.053{\pm}0.044mm$ (95% confidence interval (CI) -0.033 to 0.139), and $0.10{\pm}0.10$ (95% CI -0.10 to 0.31) respectively. The mean absolute repeatability coefficient (${\pm}SD$) of the calculated posterior apical radius and Q of five human eyes was $0.07{\pm}0.06mm$ (95% CI -0.05 to 0.19) and $0.09{\pm}0.07$ (95% CI -0.05 to 0.23), respectively. Conclusions: The result shows that acceptable accuracy in calculations of posterior apical radius and Q was achieved. This new method shows promise for application to the living human cornea.
