디지털 기기 사용으로 인한 안정피로의 관리 = Management of Eye Strain Caused by Digital Devices Use

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Purpose: This review aimed to examine the effects and symptoms of using digital devices on the eyes, and ways to improve digital eye strain (DES). Methods: We did a comprehensive search using PubMed, Google Scholar, and RISS(Research information sharing service) for available literature related to DES. Results: DES symptoms may be divided into external symptoms related to dry eye and internal symptoms linked to refractive errors, accommodative or vergence problems. These symptoms require management to promote a comfortable visual life. Questionnaires are used for evaluation and treatment of DES, and indices of visual fatigue may be provided through objective evaluation of parameters such as critical flicker-fusion frequency (CFF), blink rate and completeness, accommodative function, and pupil characteristics. Conclusions: In order to improve DES, various approaches may be selected including frequent blinking, correction of refractive error and presbyopia, reducing average daily screen time, management of dry eye, regular screen breaks, and consideration of accommodation and vergence anomalies. In addition, clinical practitioners should be able to provide information pertaining to proper use of digital devices and ergonomic awareness related to public health.

국문 초록 (Abstract)

목적: 본 종설 논문은 디지털 기기 사용이 눈에 미치는 영향과 증상 그리고 디지털 안정피로(DES)를 개선시킬 수 있는 방법 등을 살펴보고자 하였다. 방법: DES 관련된 논문은 종합적으로 팝메드(PubMed)와 구글 학술(Google Scholar)을 사용하여 검색하였고, 국내학술논문 검색은 학술연구정보서비스(RISS)를 이용하였다. 결과: DES 증상은 안구건조증과 관련된 외적인 증상과 굴절이상, 조절 또는 이향운동 문제와 관련된 내적인 증상으로 나눌 수 있다. 이러한 증상은 편안한 시생활을 증진시키기 위해 관리가 필요하다. DES의 평가 및 치료는 설문지를 이용할 수 있 으며, 임계 깜박임 융합주파수(CFF), 눈 깜박임 횟수와 완전성, 조절 기능 및 동공의 특성과 같은 매개변수의 객관 적인 평가를 통하여 시각적 피로도의 지표를 제공할 수 있다. 결론: DES를 개선시키기 위해서는 잦은 깜박임, 굴절 이상 교정 및 노안 교정, 일일 평균 화면 사용시간 감소, 안구건조 관리, 화면 작업 동안 규칙적인 휴식, 이향운동 및 조절 문제 등을 고려하여 DES에 대한 다양한 접근 방식을 선택할 수 있다. 또한 임상실무자는 공중보건과 관련 된 디지털 기기의 적절한 사용법과 인체공학적 인식을 개선하기 위한 정보를 제공할 수 있어야 한다.
