Abstract

This study researched the correlation between myopic refractive errors and intraocular pressure. The study population comprised 39 adults(17 of males, 22 of females). We measured the intraocular pressure using a Non-Contact Tonometer(NCT) and the correlation between myopic refractive errors was analyzed by dividing into three groups: mild, moderate, high myopia. The gender of subjects showed no statistically difference between the intraocular pressure and refractive errors, but as the refractive errors increased, the intraocular pressure incereased, which showed a statistically significant difference. In addition, the higher intraocular pressure in moderate and high myopia than mild myopia can cause glaucoma, that can develop at a young age. it is need to sufficient recognition and understanding correlation between intraocular pressure and myopic refractive errors in the middle-aged high myopia.

본 연구는 근시성 굴절이상과 안압의 상관관계를 조사하였다. 연구대상자는 20대 성인 남녀 총 39명 (남17명, 여 22명) 총 78안을 대상으로 하였다. 안압은 비접촉식 안압계를 사용하여 측정하였고, 근시성 굴절이상은 경도, 중등도, 고도 근시군 3그룹으로 나누어 상관관계를 분석하였다. 대상자의 성별에 의한 안압과 굴절이상도는 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았지만, 근시성 대상안의 굴절이상도가 증가할수록 안압이 증가하였고 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 또한, 경도 근시에 비해 중등도와 고도 근시에서 안압이 높게 나타나는 것은 젊은 나이에 발병할 수 있는 녹내장의 원인이 될 수 있으며, 이는 중장년층의 고도 근시에서 안압과 근시성 굴절이상도간의 상관관계에 대한 바른 인식과 이해에 관한 기초자료로 활용 될 수 있을 것이라고 생각된다.
