Abstract

Purpose: Comparison with contrast sensitivity between binocular and monocular of 20s adult was measured by spatial frequency 3.0, 6.0, 12.0 and 18.0 cpd and compares difference between monocular and binocular and difference between male and female. Methods: Topcon CV-3000 Phoroptor was used for full correction of 99 ophthalmic optics students and contrast sensitivity were measured by using Vector Vision CSV-1000E at 2.5 m in photopic condition (100 $cd/m^2$). Results: Photopic condition at 2.5 m, average contrast sensitivity of entire subject was 52.54, 80.40, 36.79 and 13.56 with right eye and 52.33, 81.29, 41.73 and 14.22 with left eye in 3, 6, 12 and 18 cpd. For both eye 65.46, 113.69, 52.04 and 19.44 were measured. The contrast sensitivity of male was 58.22, 83.52, 37.89 and 13.82 with right eye and 56.03, 46.68 and 15.67 with left eye in spatial frequency of 3, 6, 12 and 18 cpd. Both eyes were measured to 70.89, 120.96, 56.56 and 19.89. The contrast sensitivity of female was 46.50, 77.09, 35.61 and 13.28 with left eye and 48.40, 70.43, 36.47 and 12.68 with left eye in spatial frequency of 3, 6, 12, 18 cpd. Both eyes were 59.68, 105.97, 47.23 and 18.95. Conclusions: Contrast sensitivity value of binocular shows higher than monocular to both male and female. Contrast sensitivity of difference between male and female were statistically remarkably higher to male in right eye 3 cpd, left eye 6 cpd, 12 cpd and both eye 3 cpd. In other frequency, there was no statistical significance but male shows higher.

목적: 20대 성인 남녀의 단안과 양안 대비감도를 공간주파수 3.0, 6.0, 12.0, 18.0 cpd를 이용하여 측정하고 단안과 양안의 차이와 남녀간의 차이 등을 비교해 보고자 하였다. 방법: 안경광학과 재학생 99명(남 51명, 여48명)을 대상으로 Topcon CV-3000 Phoroptor를 이용하여 완전교정 후 명소시(100 $cd/m^2$)상태에서 CSV-1000E(VectorVision, Ohio, USA)를 이용하여 2.5 m 거리에서 대비감도를 측정하였다. 결과: 명소시 2.5 m에서 검사한 전체 표본의 평균 대비감도는 3, 6, 12, 18 cpd에서 각각 우안은 52.54, 80.40, 36.79, 13.56이고, 좌안은 52.33, 81.29, 41.73, 14.22이었다. 또한 양안은 65.46, 113.69, 52.04, 19.44로 측정되었다. 20대 남성의 대비감도는 3, 6, 12, 18 cpd의 공간주파수에서 각각 우안은 58.22, 83.52, 37.89, 13.82이고, 좌안은 56.03, 91.52, 46.68, 15.67이었다. 또한 양안은 70.89, 120.96, 56.56, 19.89로 측정되었다. 20대 여성의 대비감도는 3, 6, 12, 18 cpd의 공간주파수에서 각각 우안은 46.50, 77.09, 35.61, 13.28이고, 좌안은 48.40, 70.43, 36.47, 12.68이었다. 또한 양안은 59.68, 105.97, 47.23, 18.95이었다. 결론: 남녀 모두 단안 보다 양안의 대비감도 값이 높게 나타났다. 대비감도의 남녀 차이는 우안 3 cpd, 좌안 6 cpd, 12 cpd, 양안 3 cpd에서는 통계적으로 차이가 나게 남자가 높았으며, 다른 주파수에서도 통계적 유의성은 없으나 대체로 남자가 높은 것을 알 수 있었다.
