Abstract

Purpose: In this study the correlation among the myopic refractive error and ocular components in primary school students was investigated. Methods: The subjects were 62 children who had no eye diseases. The refractive error, corneal radius, anterior chamber depth, lens thickness, axial length were measured and analysed. Results: Myopic refractive error in primary school students was negatively correlated with the axial length (1~3rd grade r=-0.653, p=0.000/4~6th grade r=-0.742, p=0.000), AL/CR ratio (1~3rd grade r=-0.571, p=0.000/4~6th grade r=-0.852, p=0.000). Conclusions: It was shown that the axial length and axial length(AL)/corneal radius(CR) ratio were very important data for myopic refractive error in primary school students.

목적: 초등학생을 대상으로 근시성 굴절이상과 안광학 성분들 사이의 관련성을 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 안질환이 없는 근시성 굴절이상 62명을 대상으로 굴절검사, 각막곡률반경, 전방깊이, 수정체두께, 안축장을 측정하고 분석하였다. 결과: 초등학생의 근시성 굴절이상은 안축장(저학년 r=-0.653, p=0.000/고학년 r =-0.742, p=0.000), AL/CR비(저학년 r=-0.571, p=0.000/고학년 r=-0.852, p=0.000)와 음의 상관성을 보였다. 결론: 초등학생의 근시성 굴절이상은 안축장과 및 AL/CR비와 상관성이 매우 높음을 알 수 있었다.
