시기능훈련에 의한 30대, 40대 연령의 조절기능 변화 = Changes in Accommodative Function in Patients in Their 30s and 40s by Visual Function Training

국문 초록 (Abstract)

목적: 시기능훈련을 통해서 30대와 40대의 조절기능의 변화를 확인하고, 시각적 불편 증상을 완화에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 방법: 30대와 40대를 대상으로 치료그룹과 의약그룹으로 나누어 총 80 안을 대상으로 하였다. 시기능훈련은 사무실과 가정에서 8주간 주 3회 실시하였다. 훈련 종료 후 시기능훈련 전과 후의 조절기능, 버전스기능, 눈 불편 증상변화를 비교하였다. 결과: 시기능훈련 후 조절용이성은 훈련그룹의 30대와 40대는 44%와 64%로 각각나타나 유의한 향상을 보였다. 버전스용이는 30대와 40대에서 각각 27.9%와 29.5%로 향상하였다. 눈 불편증상 점수 변화는 30, 40대에서 모두 감소세를 보였다. 시기능훈련 후 조절력 하위그룹의 조절력의 변화율은 상위그룹의 조절력 변화 보다 더 높았다. 결론: 30대와 40대를 대상으로 실시한 시기능훈련은 조절 및 버전스기능의 향상과 눈불편 증상의 개선에 효과를 보였다. 또한 시기능훈련으로 초기 노안의 증상 완화에도 효과적임을 확인하였다.

Purpose: To confirm changes in accommodative function in patients in their 30s and 40s effected via visual function training, and to investigate its effect on relief of visual discomfort. Methods: A total of 80 eyes of patients in their 30s and 40s were included and divided into treatment and medication groups. Visual function training was conducted three times a week for 8 weeks at the office and at home. After the end of the training, the changes in accommodative function, vergence function, and eye discomfort before and after visual function training were compared. Results: The ease of adjustment after visual function training exhibited significant improvement in 44% and 64% of the training group in their 30s and 40s, respectively. Ease of vergence improved to 27.9% and 29.5% in patients in their 30s and 40s, respectively. Eye discomfort scores exhibited a decreasing trend in both the 30s and the 40s groups. After visual function training, the rate of change in accommodative ability of the lower group was higher than that of the upper group.
Conclusions: Visual function training conducted on people in their 30s and 40s yielded improvements in accommodative and vergence function and relief of eye discomfort. In addition, we confirmed that visual function training was effective in alleviating the symptoms of early presbyopia.
