The aim of this study is to analyze and evaluate refraction errors in prescriptions written in foundation and state hospitals in Karaman province. 213 people who applied to an ophthalmologist in the province of Karaman and were given prescriptions were included in the study. Of the 213 people included in the study; 126 (59.15%) are women, 87 (40.85%) are men. Near and far eyeglasses data on prescriptions were divided into 7 groups as simple myopia, simple hyperopia, simple myopic astigmatism, simple hyperopia astigmatism, composite myopic astigmatism, compound hyperopia astigmatism, and mixed astigmatism. In the near-eyeglass right glass refraction defects analysis in the research; simple hypermetropia was the most common with 22.06%, while the least common simple myopic astigmatism was detected with 0.94%. In the near eyeglass left eyeglass refraction defects analysis; while mixed astigmatism was the most common with 22.53%, it was determined that it was the least seen simple myopic astigmatism with 0.47%. In the far eyeglass right glass refraction defects analysis; compound myopic astigmatism was the most common with 30.98%, and the least common was simple hypermetropic astigmatism with 2.35%. In the far eyeglass left eyeglass refraction defects analysis; compound myopic astigmatism was the most common with 29.11%, while the least common was simple hypermetropic astigmatism with 2.35%. The research is important due to it is the first study to examine the refractive error distribution in Karaman.

I would like to thank Prof. Dr. Süleyman YAMAN, whose scientific consultancy I benefited from during the study for his patience and tolerance while conveying his experience.

Optisyenlik Açısıdan Reçetelerdeki Refraksiyon Kusurlarının Dağılım Analizi: Karaman İli Örneği

Öz

Bu araştırmanın amacı Karaman ilindeki vakıf ve devlet hastanelerinde yazılan reçetelerdeki kırma kusurlarının analiz edilerek değerlendirilmesidir. Araştırmaya Karaman ilinde göz doktoruna başvurarak adına reçete düzenlenen 213 kişi dâhil edildi. Araştırmaya dâhil edilen 213 kişiden; 126’sı (%59,15) kadın, 87’si (%40,85) ise erkektir. Reçetelerdeki yakın ve uzak gözlük verileri; basit miyop, basit hipermetropi, basit miyop astigmatizma, basit hipermetrop astigmatizma, kompoze miyop astigmatizma, kompoze hipermetrop astigmatizma, mikst astigmatizma olmak üzere 7 gruba ayrılarak analiz edildi. Araştırmada yakın gözlük sağ cam refraksiyon kusurları analizinde; basit hipermetropi %22,06 ile en sık görülürken %0,94 ile en az görülen basit miyop astigmatizma tespit edilmiştir. Yakın gözlük sol cam refraksiyon kusurları analizinde; mikst astigmatizma %22,53 ile en sık görülürken, %0,47 ile en az görülen basit miyop astigmatizma olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Uzak gözlük sağ cam refraksiyon kusurları analizinde; bileşik miyop astigmatizma %30,98 ile en sık görülürken, en az görülen %2,35 ile basit hipermetrop astigmatizma tespit edilmiştir. Uzak gözlük sol cam refraksiyon kusurları analizinde; bileşik miyop astigmatizma %29,11 ile en sık görülürken en az görülen %2,35 ile basit hipermetrop astigmatizma tespit edilmiştir. Araştırma, Karaman ilindeki kırma kusuru dağılımını geniş çapta inceleyen ilk araştırma olması açısından önemlidir.
