Abstract

Purpose: Three-dimensional (3D) displays are very useful in many fields, but induce physical discomforts in some people. This study is to assess symptom type and severity of asthenopia with their habitual distance corrective spectacle (HDCS) and their binocular vision corrective spectacle lenses (BVCSL) in people who feel physical discomforts. Methods: 35 adult subjects (ages $32.2{\pm}4.4$ yrs) were pre-screened out of 98 individuals to have the highest symptom/asthenopia scores following 65 minutes of 3D television viewing with HDCS. These 35 individuals were then retested symptom/asthenopia scores during they watched 3D television for 65 minutes at a distance of 2.7 m with wearing BVCSL of horizontal, vertical or base down yoked prisms. A 4-point symptom-rating scale questionnaire (0=no symptom and 3=severe) was used to assess 11 symptoms (e.g., blur, diplopia, etc.) related to visual fatigue/visual discomfort. Distance and near lateral phoria were measured using Howell phoria card and vertical phoria were measured using Maddox rod. Symptoms induced by watching 3D TV were compared between wearing HDCS and BVCSL. Results: Asthenopia in watching 3D TV with wearing BVCS was significantly lower than wearing HDCS at 5, 25, 45, and 65 minutes (all p < 0.001, paired t-tests). In only refractive error power correction power group, all asthenopia was not significantly different between HDCS and BVCSL (all $p{\geq}0.05$, paired t-tests). In prism correction groups for binocular imbalance, symptoms of asthenopia, however, was significantly lower for when wearing BVCSL than when wearing HDCS (all p < 0.05). Conclusions: Correction of phoria/vergence-based binocular vision imbalance can reduce asthenopia during 3D television viewing. An individual with binocular vision imbalance need corrected/compensated glasses with appropriate prisms prior to prolonged viewing of 3D television displays to reduce asthenopia/visual fatigue.

목적: 3D영상은 여러 분야에서 매우 유용하지만 일부 사람들에게 신체적인 불편함을 일으킨다. 본 연구는 신체적 불편함을 느끼는 사람에 있어서 그들의 상용안경을 착용했을 때와 양안시 교정안경을 착용을 때 안정피로의 타입과 정도를 평가하기 위함이다. 방법: 성인 98명을 그들이 착용해 온 상용안경을 착용한 상태에서 3D 텔레비전(TV)을 65분간 시청한 후 안정피로가 가장 심하게 느끼는 35명(나이 $32.2{\pm}4.4yrs$)을 대상으로 평가했다. 그런 다음 수평, 수직 또는 기저 하 방향의 동향프리즘을 부가한 양안시 교정안경을 착용하고 2.7 m 거리에서 65분간 3D TV를 시청하는 동안 안정피로의 정도를 수치로 재평가했다. 평가는 11가지 증상에 대해 4점 스케일(0=없음, 3=심함)로 하였다. 원거리 및 근거리 수평 사위는 하웰사위검사카드(Howell phoria card)로 측정하였으며 수직 사위는 마독스봉(Maddox rod)을 이용하였다. 3D TV 시청에 의해 발생되는 증상을 상용안경을 착용했을 때와 양안시 교정안경을 착용했을 때를 비교하였다. 결과: 양안시 교정 안경을 착용한 상태에서 3D TV를 시청할 때 시청 5, 25, 45, 65분에서 상용안경을 착용하고 시청할 때 보다 안정피로가 유의수준에서 낮았다(all p<0.001, paired t-tests). 굴절이상도만 필요로 하는 그룹에서는 상용안경 착용과 양안시 교정안경을 착용하고 시청 할 때는 모든 안정피로에서 유의 수준에서 차이가 없었다. 그러나 양안시 이상의 프리즘 교정 그룹에서 안정피로는 양안교정 안경 착용이 상용안경 착용때 보다 유의 수준에서 낮았다(all p<0.05). 결론: 사위/이향 안구 운동을 기초로 한 양안시 이상의 안경교정은 3D 시청 중에 안정피로를 낮출 수 있다. 양안시 이상을 가진 사람은 안정피로를 줄이기 위해 3D TV를 오래 보기 전에 적절한 프리즘이 필요하다.
