Abstract

Purpose: A correlation between the rotating direction and rotation amount according to the eccentricity was analyzed in the present study when fitting the toric soft contact lens. Methods: One hundred fourteen eyes of with-the-rule astigmatism in 20s and 30s were appropriately applied toric soft contact lens by the guideline of manufacturer and fitting evaluations and analyzed the rotating direction and rotation amount when fixating at primary position and 8 different directions of gaze. The speed of reorientation and the correlation between the rotation amount and cornea eccentricity were also analyzed when rotating $45^{\circ}$ each toward the temporal and nasal direction. Results: The cornea eccentricity and rotation amount was shown positive correlation. For the gaze of direction, it was identified that the gaze of directions other than the gaze of direction towards the nasal and temporal had correlation, and among them, the gaze of directions to superior and the superior-temporal showed the tendency of decreasing rotation amount as the cornea eccentricity increased. On the contrary, the gaze of direction towards the inferior, inferior-temporal, superior-nasal, and inferior-nasal showed tendency of increasing rotation amount as the cornea eccentricity increased thus, it was identified that the cornea eccentricity showed different correlation according to the gaze of direction. For the case of re-orientational speed, the speed of lens reorientation in the group having the smallest corneal eccentricity was fastest in both direction but was not significantly different. Conclusions: Considering cornea eccentricity to current method of prescribing toric soft contact lens which is based on total astigmatism, it will be helpful to establish the optimal axis stabilization.

목적: 본 연구에서는 이심률에 따른 토릭소프트렌즈 피팅 시 회전방향 및 회전량과의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 방법: 20~30대 직난시 114안을 대상으로 제조사의 가이드라인을 기준과 피팅평가를 거쳐 적절한 토릭소프트렌즈를 착용하게 하고 정면주시할 때와 8개 방향으로 응시방향을 달리하였을 때의 회전방향 및 회전량을 각막이심률에 따라 비교 분석하였다. 귀쪽과 코쪽으로 각각 $45^{\circ}$회전시켰을 때의 회전 복귀속도 및 회전량과 각막이심률의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 결과: 각막이심률과 회전량은 양의 상관관계를 나타내었다. 응시방향의 경우 귀쪽과 코쪽으로의 응시방향을 제외한 나머지 응시방향에서 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났으며 그 중 위쪽과 귀위쪽 응시방향의 경우는 각막 이심률이 증가할수록 회전량은 감소하는 경향을 보였고, 이와는 반대로 아래쪽, 귀아래쪽, 코위쪽, 코아래쪽의 응시방향에서는 각막 이심률이 증가할수록 회전량도 증가하는 경향을 보여 응시방향에 따라 각막이심률과의 상관관계가 달리 나타남을 알 수 있었다. 회전복귀속도는 각막이심률이 가장 작은 군의 렌즈 복귀속도가 두 방향 모두에서 가장 빨랐지만 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 아니었다. 결론: 현재 전체난시만을 기준으로 처방되고 있는 토릭소프트렌즈의 피팅 기준에 각막이심률까지 고려한 피팅이 이루어진다면 최적의 축 안정화를 이루는데 도움이 될 것으로 보인다.
