Abstract:

 Objective: This study aims to investigate the effect of low-power plus spherical glasses on asthenopic complaints in healthy and presbyopic patients. Material and Methods: Forty-two patients were included in the study. A questionnaire consisting of 9 questions was applied to the patients. The patients were asked to score their complaints of itching, watering, foreign body sensation, redness, dryness, double vision, blurred vision, headache, and ocular pain between 0 and 3 at the time of application. Patients were prescribed glasses with 0.50 diopter spherical lenses. After one month of regular use of glasses, the questionnaire of the same questions was applied to the patients again in the control visit and the results were compared. Results: After using prescribed glasses for one month, a statistically significant decrease was observed in all of the mean scores of the patients for 9 complaints in the questionnaire. Conclusion: Prescribing low-power plus spherical lenses in patients with asthenopic complaints may help relieve these complaints.

 Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, astenopik şikayetleri olan fakat herhangi bir refraksiyon kusuru ya da astenopiye yol açabilecek organik bir bozukluğu olmayan, emetropik ve genç popülasyonda düşük güçte artı plus sferik camların bu şikayetler üzerine olan etkisinin araştırılmasıdır. Gereçler ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya 42 hasta dahil edildi. Hastalara 9 soruluk bir anket uygulandı. Uygulanan ankette, hastaların başvuru anında yakındıkları kaşıntı, sulanma, yabancı cisim hissi, kızarıklık, kuruluk hissi, harfleri çift görme, sayfayı bulanık görme ve baş ağrısı şikayetlerini 0 ile 3 arasında skorlamaları istendi 0 hiç şikayet yok, 3çok belirgin şikayeti var. Anketteki sorular astenopide en sık görülen oftalmik semptomları içerecek şekilde hazırlandı. Bu şikayetlerden yakınan hastalara 0.50 diyoptri gücünde, sferik camlı gözlük reçete edildi. Olgulara bu gözlükleri sadece yakın uğraşlar ile meşgul olurken takmaları önerildi. Bir aylık düzenli gözlük kullanımının ardından kontrol muayenesinde, aynı sorulardan oluşan anket hastalara tekrar uygulandı. Hastaların aynı 9 soruya verdikleri yeni skorlar kaydedildi. Hastaların ilk anket sorularına verdikleri skorlar ile son anket sorularına verdikleri skorlar arasındaki ilişki istatistiksel olarak karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Bir aylık süre boyunca 0.50 diyoptri gücünde, sferik camlı gözlük kullanımı sonrasında hastaların ankette yer alan 9 şikayete verdikleri skor ortalamalarının hepsinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düzeyde bir azalma görüldü. Sonuç: Astenopik şikayetler tarifleyen hastalarda, düşük güçte artı sferik camların reçete edilmesi, bu yakınmaları gidermek açısından faydalı olabilir.
