The findings showed that the factors influencing the visual quality of life was wearing glasses, and the explanatory power for this 13.6%. Further research is needed considering the length of wearing glasses, contact lenses and severity of dry eyes.

본 연구는 대학생들이 주관적으로 인지하는 안구건강에 대해 조사하고, 삶의 질에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 대상자들이 안구건조증을 진단받은 경우는 18.4%이며, 주관적 안구건조감 경험은 63.2%이다. NEI-VFQ 평균은 82.3점이었으며, 시각과 관련된 사회적 기능이 평균 94.6점으로 가장 높게 나타났다. 시각관련 삶의 질에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 안경 착용이었으며, 이에 대한 설명력은 13.6%로 나타났다. 앞으로 안경이나 콘택트렌즈 착용기간 및 안구건조 중증도 등을 고려한 추가 연구가 필요하다.
