Abstract:
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to prove the characteristics of refractive error and visual acuity about hansen patients and old people. To compare the pupil and ocular function was to investigate the characteristics of the eye of the hansen patients. METHODS: Subjects were intended for the elderly over 60 years old 85 years old or younger both hansen patients in Wonju(n=29) and old people in Yangpyeong(n=29). Auto refraction(Topcon KR-7000) to objective refraction was conducted after the subjective refraction. Pupil size at normal illumination and light reflex, response velocity and the reaction states about light reflex were measured and Color vision test were. Writing questionnaires and analyzed the subjective symptoms about two groups. Spss ver.18.0 was used for statistics analysis and significance level was based on a 0.05. Methods were used Crosstabs analysis ,Paired T test and descriptive statistics. RESULTS & CONCLUSION: VA of hansen patients and old people did not differ by 0.29 +/-0.18 and 0.35+/-0.23. (p>0.05). CC of hansen patients and old people did differ by 0.55+/-0.26 and 0.44+/-0.21(p<0.05). Effective correction (%) of visual acuity of hansen patients and old people, there was a significant difference 22.58+/-18.05% and 32.24+/-27.72%(p<0.05). Constricted pupil size under light reflex of hansen patients and old people, there was a significant difference 3.13+/-1.34mm and 1.97+/-0.34mm (p<0.05). Hansen patients during normal illumination and light reflex is anisocoria (p>0.05). Old people during normal illumination and light reflex is normal (p<0.05). Direct light reflex state of hansen patients was normal 17.20% and abnormal 82.8%. Pupil's response velocity during light reflex of hansen patients was normal 3.4% and abnormal 96.6%. Pupil's reaction state during light reflex of hansen patients was normal 13.8%and abnormal 86.20%. Direct light reflex state of old people was normal 96.60%and abnormal 3.4%. Subjective symptoms were ranking 1.Dim sighted(23times) 2.Eyestrain(18times) 3.Tears(15times) of Hansen, that were ranking 1.Dim sighted(25times) 2.Tears(8times) 3.Pruritus(8times)of old people. Hansen patients and old people were not differ about result of CV test.
