(R2-8AM−11) 筆者らは,変視症の定量化を目的とし新しい変視表M-CHARTS®を開発した。変視の自覚には,連続した直線による網膜面への刺激が必要である。直線を間隔の狭い点線から広い点線に変えると次第に変視は消失する。この現象を応用し,視角0.2゜から2.0゜まで間隔を変えた19種の点線からなる変視表を作成した。被検者に間隔の細かな点線から広い点線へ順に呈示し,変視が自覚されなくなった視角をもって変視量とした。変視症の症例では点線の間隔が広くなるにつれ自覚的な変視が軽減,消失した。変視の強い症例ほど点の間隔が広い点線まで変視を自覚した。M-CHARTS®は,簡便に変視を定量可能で,変視症を伴う黄斑疾患の経過観察に極めて有用である。
We developed M-CHARTSTM which is a new metamorphopsia chart to quantitate metamorphopsia. When metamorphopsia is present, a straight line projected onto the retina is recognized as an irregular or curved line. When a dotted line is used and the dot interval changes from fine to coarse, metamorphopsia decreases and finally disappeared. Based on this phenomenon, we developed a new chart with 19 kinds of horizontal and vertical dotted lines with the dot intervals between 0.2° to 2.0° visual angles. The minimum visual angle of the dotted line needed to detect metamorphopsia is then measured. We applied this method to patients with metamorphopsia due to epiretinal membrane, macular hole or central serous retinopathy. The thus obtained metamorphopsia score increased along with the severity of metamorphopsia. This method is easy to use and promises to be of value in determining the severity of metamorphopsia in macular lesions.
