Purpose: This study was the analyze the refractive status of presbyopia in Korea.
Methods: The subjects was from November 2018 to October 2019, two hundred thirty four subjects( 117 male subjects, 117 female subjects; from 40-year old to 88-year old ) were performed in refraction test using the Auto-Refraction(Speed -K model, Japan). The myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and anisometropia were defined as spherical equivalent(SE)≤-0.50 diopters, SE ≥+1.00 D, cylinder error ≥0.75 D and SE difference≥1.00 D between binocular eyes, respectively.
Results: The refractive status by spherical equivalent among all subjects was myopia 61.43%, astigmatism 86.86%, emmetropia 19.18%, anisometropia 12.07%, and hyperopia 18.54. The prevalence of myopia and astigmatism were much more common in male. However, The hyperopia and astigmatism were much more common in female. The prevalence of spherical equivalent was much common from -0.50 diopter to -5.00 diopter. On the other hand, the prevalence of astigmatism and myopia was much more than hyperopia in all subjects. There was a statistical significance between OD and OS of the female and male in the spherical equivalent power(p<.000). However, there was not statical significant between female and male of OD and OS in the spherical equivalent power(p<.070). On the other hand, The prevalence of againest axis in astigmatism was more common in all subjects. In ADD power for the near vision correction, the female was much more diopter than male.
Conclusions: These results suggested that the analysis of the refractive status on the presbyopia in Korea can give the useful diagnosis data for the correction of visual acuity at near distance.
