초록

목적: 각막굴절교정렌즈를 장기간 착용한 어린이에서 렌즈 착용 중지 후 나타나는 각막복귀현상을 분석하였다. 방법: 각막굴절교정렌즈를 평균 8개월 이상 착용하고 굴절교정효과를 보인 착용자 중 렌즈 착용을 중지한 25명을 대상으로 각막굴절교정렌즈 착용 전과 착용 중지 후 1개월 동안 나안시력, 굴절이상도, 각막곡률(Sim K), 각막중심 두께 및 각막이심율을 측정하여 분석하였다. 결과: 나안시력과 각막형상은 각막굴절교정렌즈 착용 후 유의한 변화를 보였고, 렌즈 착용 중지 후 1개원 동안 대부분 복귀되었다. 나안시력과 굴절이상도는 착용 중지 2주 후에 완전히 복귀되었고, 각막중심두께 변화와 상관성이 있었다. 그러나 각막형상은 서서히 복귀되어 각막중심두께와 각막이 심율은 착용 중지 1개월 후에 복귀되었고 각막곡률은 1개월까지 착용 전 상태로 복귀되지 않았다. 결론: 각막굴절 교정렌즈 장기 착용자의 경우 렌즈 착용 중지 후 굴절력은 빠르게 복귀되나 각막곡률과 중심두께는 서서히 복귀되므로 콘택트렌즈를 재피팅할 경우 주의가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

Purpose: To investigate the corneal recovery after discontinuing orthokeratology (OK) lenses wear in children for long-term period. Methods: Among the OK lens wearers who wear over 8 months and showed successful refractive correction, 25 subjects were selected who want to discontinue the OK lenses. Uncorrected visual acuity, refractive correction, corneal curvature (Sim K), central corneal thickness and corneal eccentricity were measured during the OK lens wearing period and after discontinuation for 1 month. Results: Uncorrected visual acuity and corneal shape had remodeled significantly during the OK lens wear and recovered significantly during the first week of discontinuation. Uncorrected visual acuity and refractive correction had achieved full recovery 2 weeks after discontinuation of lens wear and were highly correlated with the changes in corneal thickness. But corneal shape recovered slowly, eccentricity had recovered fully after 1 month and corneal curvature and central thickness had not been achieved full recovery until 1 month after discontinuation. Conclusions: Recovery of after longterm use of OK lens is rapid for refractive change, but slow for corneal curvature and central thickness that to refit the contact lenses, practitioners need patience.
