Abstract

Purpose : This study was to examine a correlation of response AC/A ratio by additional spherical powers with PD(Pupilary distance) and relative accommodation, and was to investigate correlation of CA/C ratio by prism powers. The mean differences between a reciprocal response AC/A ratio and a CA/C ratio were compared, and were suggested to be used as data in the refractive power and prism prescriptions in the clinical. Methods: The open field autorefractometer (Nvision-K 5001, Shin nippon) and Howell target at 40 cm fixation distance to 62 persons with average $22.62{\pm}2.84$ ages were used to measure the response AC/A ratio according to additional Spherical powers. The CA/C ratios were measured using the DOG card at 40cm according to prism powers. Results: When the response accommodation according to Additional Spherical power changes and the response accommodation according to prism power changes were compared, it was larger than the response accommodation according prism power change. These were significant differences statistically. The correlation of response AC/A ratio and PD is showed as r = -0.158, the CA / C ratio is shown as r = 0.093. The correlation of response AC/A ratio and relative accommodation showed as r = -0.253, the CA/C ratio showed as r = 0.566 that is predictable correlation. The correlation of response AC/A ratio and CA/C ratio showed as r = -0.355 that is low minus correlation (p = 0.000). The difference between a reciprocal response AC/A ratio and a CA/C ratio showed $0.12{\pm}0.06D/{\Delta}$ with a significant difference statistically (p=0.000). Conclusions: The correlation of relative accommodation and CA/C ratio showed that depend on the individual, The more a relative accommodation is, the higher a response accommodation of convergence by convergence stimulus is. The reciprocal response AC/A and CA/C ratio showed significant differences statistically. This can have higher CA/C ratio in patients with low AC/A ratio in clinical as an independent variable. Thus when the abnormal binocular vision was prescribed in the clinical, it is necessary to consider the accommodative response even if the AC/A ratio is a normal range.

목적: 가입렌즈 도수 변화에 따른 반응 AC/A비와 프리즘 굴절력 변화에 따른 CA/C비를 측정하고, 이 두 변수와 PD 및 상대조절력과의 상관관계, 반응 AC/A비의 역수와 CA/C비 사이의 평균차이를 비교하여 임상에서 굴절력 및 프리즘 처방의 자료로 활용하고자 한다. 방법: 20대 대학생(평균 $22.62{\pm}2.84$세) 62명(남 50명, 여12명)을 대상으로 주시거리 40 cm에서 하웰시표(Howell card)와 개방형굴절력계(Nvision-K 5001, Shin nippon)를 이용하여 가입렌즈 도수 변화에 따른 반응 AC/A비를 측정하였고, CA/C비는 Wesson fixation card(WFC Bernell, USA) 이면의 DOG시표와 개방형굴절력계를 사용하여 프리즘 굴절력 변화에 따른 CA/C비를 측정하였다. 결과: 가입렌즈 도수 변화에 따른 조절반응량이 프리즘 굴절력 변화에 따른 조절반응량보다 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 크게 나타났다. 동공간 거리와 반응 AC/A비의 설명변량 $R^2=0.025$으로 나타났으며, PD와 CA/C비는 설명변량 $R^2=0.009$으로 나타났다. 상대조절력과 반응 AC/A비의 설명변량 $R^2=0.064$으로 나타났으며 상대조절력과 CA/C비의 설명변량 $R^2=0.321$로 상대조절력과의 예측가능한 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 반응 AC/A비와 CA/C비의 설명변량 $R^2=0.126$으로 낮은 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다(p=0.000). 반응 AC/A비의 역수와 CA/C비 사이의 평균차이는 $0.12{\pm}0.06D/{\Delta}$로 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p=0.000). 결론: 상대조절력과 CA/C비의 상관관계는 상대조절력이 높은 사람일수록 폭주자극에 대한 폭주성 조절반응량이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 반응 AC/A비의 역수와 CA/C비는 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이므로 독립적인 변수로 임상에서 낮은 AC/A비를 가진 환자라도 높은 CA/C비를 가질 수 있다. 이에 양안시 이상에서 프리즘을 처방 할 경우 AC/A비가 정상범위라 하더라도 CA/C비는 다를 수 있어 반드시 조절반응량을 고려한 처방이 되어야 한다.
