“…Figs 2 and 3 present the purpose of lenses used in South Korea by comparing the regional lens user ratio and the percentage of lens types currently in use. Fig 2B and 2C present the percentages of users aged 20–39 years and women users, who were the majority of lens users in previous studies [ 16 , 19 , 20 ], stratified by region. The contact lens usage rates in Seoul, Gwangju, Busan, and Daejeon were similar.…”

“…With an increasing number of contact lens users in South Korea, research on contact lens usage trends is being consistently conducted. A multi-institutional, nationwide survey on contact lens use was conducted from October 2000 to September 2002 with 482 individuals [ 19 ], and a similar study involving 920 high school students in a specific region was published in 2011 [ 20 ]. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first large population-based study to investigate trends in contact lens use in South Korea.…”

Purpose To investigate trends in contact lens usage in a nationally representative sample of the Korean population in 2021. Methods For this retrospective study, we analyzed data of 3,601 Korean participants aged 10–59 years, from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES 2021 version), who underwent eye examination, of whom 1,136 individuals (274 men and 862 women) were contact lens users. The demographic trend among Korean contact lens wearers was examined using statistical analyses to investigate the changes in their contact lens-wearing experience, duration of lens use, type of lens used, location of purchase, presence of an Eye Care Practitioner(ECP)’s prescription, lens-related ophthalmic complications, and type of lenses worn at the time of complications, according to sex. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was conducted to examine the association of each variable with the rate of complications and use of soft lenses. Results The average age of the contact lens users was 33.42±0.33 years, with 70.36% (weighted percentage) of users being women who used contact lenses for significantly longer periods than men (p<0.001). Additionally, only wearing of cosmetic lenses was significantly correlated with the occurrence of complications (p = 0.006), and 6.76% of users purchased lenses without a prescription. Multivariate analysis among the contact lens users revealed a significant relationship between the complication rate and female sex (p = 0.002), pre-existing eye disease diagnosed by ECPs (p = 0.0288), and duration of contact lens use (p<0.0001). Conclusion We identified sex differences in contact lens usage trends in Korea. The main changes observed were an increase in middle-aged lens users and a decrease in female users compared to that in the early 2000s. In addition, contact lens complications were significantly associated with sex and pre-existing eye disease. Therefore, those wearing contact lenses for extended periods should exercise caution and consult eye care specialists in the presence of any symptoms.

Results: We found the status of contact lens wearing and management of subjects and there were different correlations between discomfort and awareness of eye health knowledge among the subjects who have different characteristics. There were also correlations in discomfort, the average days of contact lens wear per week, initial wearing day and action when they have any discomfort in some contact lens wearers. Conclusions: We realized the status of contact lens wearing and management of female university students and it suggests appropriate contact care education and sustainable management system are need to be established for considering daily average wearing time, the type and material of contact lens wear and main discomfort and so on. 의 연구에서 미용칼라 콘택트렌즈 )조사 대상자의 인지 범위 내에서 응답받음.

Purpose: In this paper, we have dealt with problems and improvement of korean optician system. Methods: Using the relevant material of korean optician system and international optometrist system, provides the theoretical basis of the need for regulatory changes optician. Results: The people with refractive errors are increasing, 67% of refractive error test is made from optical shop and korean optician are sufficient trained, many opticians are in charge of the refractive error test at the ophthalmic hospital. We have confirmed that current law does not reflect adequately the nature of optician's work. Conclusions: Since current capacity of the Korean opticians and education system ready to provide health services for people, therefore an korean optician must redefine the law to fit the reality.
