Abstract

Purpose: We aimed to evaluate reliability of eye exam for visual acuity as a function of distance. Methods: There were 39 patients (78 eyes) who had visual acuity 1.0 or more at 5 meters. We measured refractive power of patients at each distances, 5 meters, 4 meters and 3 meters. Automatic chart (LCD-700, Hyeseong Optic. Co., Korea) used for visual acuity, skiascope (Beta 200, Heine, Germany) and auto refractometer (RK-5, Canon, Japan) used as for objective refraction. Accommodation was examined by minus lens addition methods, and Accommodative lag was examined by grid chart for reading distance. Results: Being compared to 3 meter test, Amount of corrected spherical refractive power decreased by $0.10{\pm}0.38$ D, astigmatism decreased by $0.05{\pm}0.10$ D, and axis of astigmatism rotated toward to temporal by $2.64{\pm}18.75$ degrees for right eyes, by $11.43{\pm}48.55$ degrees for left eyes in case of 5 meter test. Changes of corrected refraction and astigmatism were slightly correlated (r=-0.31, r=-0.29). Conclusions: Because corrected refraction power and amount of astigmatism decreased and axis of astigmatism tends to turn the temporal direction according to exam distance, examination distance of visual acuity should improved as to 5 meters.

목적: 시력검사거리에 따른 원거리 시력검사의 신뢰성을 평가하고자 하였다. 방법: 5 m 거리에서 교정시력이 1.0 이상이 되었던 성인 39명(78안)을 대상으로 하였다. 각각의 검사거리(5 m, 4 m, 그리고 3 m)에서 대상자의 교정굴절력을 측정하였다. 시시력표는 자동 챠트(LCD-700, Hyeseong Optic. Co., Korea)를, 타각적 굴절검사는 검영기(Beta 200, Heine, Germany)와 자동굴절검사기(RK-5, Canon, Japan)를 사용하였다. 조절력검사는 (-)렌즈 부가법으로, 조절래그 검사는 근거리 격자시표를 사용하였다. 결과: 구면교정굴절력은 5 m에 비하여 3 m에서 평균 $0.10{\pm}0.38$ D 감소하였고 난시도는 $0.05{\pm}0.10$ D 감소하였으며, 난시축은 우좌안이 귀방향으로 각각 $2.64{\pm}18.75$ 도, $11.43{\pm}48.55$ 도 회전하였다. 교정굴절력의 변동과 난시도의 변동은 최대교정굴절력과의 약한 음의 상관관계를 보였다(r=-0.31, r=-0.29). 결론: 검사거리에 따라 구면교정굴절력과 난시도는 5 m에 비하여 3 m에서 감소하며, 난시축은 귀방향으로 회전하는 경향이 있기 때문에, 안경원에서 원거리 시력검사를 위한 검사거리는 5 m로 개선되어져야 할 것이다.
