각막난시와 자세 변화에 의한 토릭소프트렌즈의 축 회전 = Axial Rotation of Toric Soft Lens by Corneal Astigmatism and Change of Posture

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Purpose: The present study was conducted to investigate the axial rotations of toric soft lens during the change of lens wearer’s posture, and the relationship between its rotation and corneal astigmatism. Methods: The amount, direction, and speed of toric soft contact lens rotation were measured for 42 eyes (aged 20s) with the rule astigmatism in the straight and lying postures, and it compared between their changes according to corneal astigmatism. Results: There was no significant difference in the axial rotation of lens for the astigmatism prescription between the straight and lying postures. However, the rotation angle was significantly different according to the posture of lens wearer. Rotating directions in straight posture were nasal direction for 20 eyes and temporal direction for 22 eyes. In lying posture, lenses of most wearers were rotated to a direction of lying posture, and the initial rotating speed was very fast in initial wearing for −0.75 D toric lenses, but consistency for −1.25 D toric lenses. The rotation angle in lying posture showed significantly different according to the amount of corneal astigmatism, the lens speed was also significantly different according to the wearing time but not the amount of corneal astigmatism. Conclusions: The axial rotation of toric soft lens was different by the lens wearer’s posture and its amount was the greater with the higher degree of corneal astigmatism. Thus, these factors should be considered for the development of toric lens design.

목적: 렌즈 착용자의 자세변화 시 토릭소프트렌즈의 축 회전을 알아보고 각막난시와의 상관관계에 대해 알아보았다. 방법: 직난시를 가진 20대 42안을 대상으로 정자세와 누운 자세에서의 토릭소프트렌즈의 회전 정도와 회전 방향, 회전 속도를 측정하여 각막 난시량에 따라 차이가 있는지를 비교 분석하였다. 결과: 정자세와 누운 자세에서 각각의 축 회전 정도는 처방도수에 따라 유의한 차이가 없었으나, 자세의 변화에 따른 회전 각도는 유의한 차이가 있었다. 정자세에서의 회전은 20안은 코쪽, 22안은 귀쪽으로 회전하였다. 누운 자세에서는 거의 모든 대상안에서 누운 방향으로 회전 되었으며 −0.75 D를 착용한 초기에는 회전 속도가 빨랐던 것에 비해 −1.25 D를 착용할 때는 상대적으로 회전속도가 일정하였다. 누운 자세에서의 회전 각도는 각막 난시량에 따라 유의한 차이를 보였고, 회전 속도 또한 시간의 흐름에 의해서는 유의한 차이를 보인 반면 각막 난시량에 따라서는 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다.
결론: 토릭소프트렌즈의 축 회전 정도는 자세 변화에 따라 다르게 나타나며, 각막 난시량이 큰 경우 그 정도가 더크므로 렌즈디자인 개발 시 이에 대해 고려해야 할 것으로 보인다.
