Abstract

Purpose: This study was aimed to evaluate the effects of dry eye syndrome on ocular fatigue and attentiveness. Methods: This study targeted 512 subjects who did not have an abnormal visual function, did not wear contact lens, had corrective eyesight over 0.8, and were between 19 and 83 year olds (mean age of 40.27 years). General characteristics (i.e., sex, age, drinking, and smoking status), dry eye syndrome, the score of a survey on ocular fatigue, and sub-factors of attentiveness were tested and analyzed. Results: Among the subjects, 312 were women and the mean age of them was 40.27 years. The number of drinkers was 260 and there were more drinkers than non-drinkers. There were 438 non-smokers, which was more than smokers. Dry eye syndrome showed positive correlations with age, sex, smoking, drinking, and eye fatigue. Attentiveness showed significant differences with BET, NAR, OET, and RED, which were sub-factors, had significant effects on dry eye syndrome. Conclusion: People with dry eye syndrome showed lower attentiveness than those who without it and higher dry eye syndrome increased ocular fatigue.

목적: 본 연구는 건성안 증후군이 눈 피로도와 주의집중력에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 한다. 방법: 시기능 이상이 없고 콘택트렌즈를 착용하지 않으며 양안 교정시력이 0.8 이상인 19 ~ 83세(평균 연령 40.27세)의 512명을 대상으로 하였다. 일반적인 특성(성별, 연령, 음주 및 흡연 여부), 건성안증후군, 눈 피로도 검사의 설문점수 및 주의집중력의 하위요인별로 검사하여 분석하였다. 결과: 대상자 중 여자가 312명(60.9%)으로 남자보다 많았고 평균 나이는 40.27세이었다. 음주를 하는 응답자가 260명(50.8%)으로 하지 않는 응답자보다 많았으며, 비흡연자가 438명(85.5%)으로 흡연자보다 많았다. 건성안증후군은 나이, 성별, 흡연, 음주, 눈 피로도와 정적상관을 나타냈으며, 주의집중력의 하위요인 BET, NAR, OET, RED에서 유의한 차이를 나타내었다. 결론: 건성안증후군은 그렇지 않은 사람보다 주의집중력이 낮았고, 건성안증후군이 증가하면 눈 피로도가 높아졌다.
