초록

목적: 본 연구에서는 착용자의 눈물양이 토릭 소프트콘택트렌즈 착용시간 및 응시방향에 따른 축회전 변화에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 이중쐐기형 축안정화 디자인을 가진 토릭 소프트콘택트렌즈를 62안(정상안 29안, 건성안 33안)에 착용시키고 착용 15분 후 및 6시간 후의 비침입성 눈물막파괴시간 변화와 응시방향을 달리하였을 때의 회전방향과 회전양 변화를 측정하였다. 결과: 토릭 소프트콘택트렌즈를 착용하고 응시방향을 달리하였을 때 대체로 귀 쪽으로 회전하는 경우가 많았으나 착용시간 및 착용안의 눈물양에 따라 차이가 있었다. 또한, 렌즈 착용 15분 후와 6시간 후 모두 거의 모든 응시방향에서 건성안의 경우가 정상안에 비해 귀 쪽으로 회전하는 빈도가 더 높았다. 렌즈 착용 15분 후에는 건성안군의 회전양이 전체적으로 컸으나 6시간 후에는 정상안군과 건성안군 간의 회전양 차이는 크지 않았다. 결론: 본 연구에서는 렌즈 착용자의 눈물양에 따라 토릭 소프트콘택트렌즈의 축 회전이 달라지며, 착용 초기와 일정시간 착용 후의 회전 양상이 상이함을 밝혔다. 본 연구결과를 통한 토릭 소프트콘택트렌즈 회전양상 변화는 착용 시간 경과 후의 시력 변화 가능성을 의미하며 눈물양과의 상관관계 규명은 토릭 소프트콘택트렌즈 선택시 적절한 고려요인이 필요함을 제안한다.

Purpose: The present study was aimed to investigate the effect of tear volume on a change of axial rotation according to wearing time of toric soft contact lens and gaze directions. Method: Toric soft contact lenses with double thin zone design applied on 62 eyes. Then, changes in non invasive tear film break-up time and the rotational direction/amount of lens when changing gaze direction were respectively measured after 15 minutes and 6 hours of lens wear. Results: Lens rotation to temporal direction was more found when changing gaze direction after lens wear. However, its rotation was varied according to wearing time and the subjects' tear volume. Furthermore, the frequency of lens rotation to temporal direction was higher in dry eyes compared with normal eyes at nearly all gaze directions after 15 minutes and 6 hour of lens wear. The rotational amount of lens was generally greater in dry eyes after 15 minutes of lens wear. However, its difference between normal eyes and dry eyes was not great after 6 hours of lens wear. Conclusion: The present study revealed that axial rotation of toric soft contact lens was varied according to the wearer's tear volume and lens rotational patterns at the initial, and extending periods of lens wear were different. The change in rotational pattern of toric soft contact lens from these results means the possibility of visual change after extending lens wear, and the identification of its correlation with tear volume suggests the necessity of considering factors for choosing appropriate toric soft contact lens.
