METHODS: A 26-item online questionnaire covering demographics, running habits, and visual corrections used was answered by 941 people. Participants were aged 18 years or older, considered themselves a recreational runner and reported needing refractive correction for everyday life. Bivariate analyses and binary logistic regression were used to determine the variables independently associated with including or avoiding types of correction for running.
CONCLUSIONS: Participants ran an average of 3.8times, 3.6hours, and 33.4km per week. Running habits were not associated with type of visual correction, suggesting that visual correction does not present a barrier to participating in recreational running. Solely using spectacles for running was the most common choice (38.8%) and they were worn for running at least sometimes by 65.8%. Fewer people wore spectacles for running than for general purposes (98.9%), suggesting spectacles have limitations for running. Spectacle wear for running was significantly associated with not having contact lenses available and longer duration of wearing visual correction. Running without correction was a common choice, with 15.5% of the sample only running without correction, and 26.2% running at least sometimes without their visual correction. Not wearing correction was significantly associated with not having contact lenses, a shorter duration of wearing visual correction, and a lower myopic refractive error. Contact lenses were the sole correction for running for 15.6% and were worn for running at least sometimes by 40.5%. Contact lenses were significantly more likely to be used by women and younger runners. Signposting runners to contact lenses if this has not previously been considered is recommended.
方法:包含26项的在线问卷,涵盖人口统计学,跑步习惯,941人回答了使用的视觉校正。参与者年龄在18岁或以上,认为自己是一个休闲跑步者,并报告说日常生活需要屈光矫正。使用双变量分析和二元逻辑回归来确定与包括或避免跑步校正类型独立相关的变量。
结论:参与者平均跑3.8次,3.6小时,每周33.4公里。跑步习惯与视觉矫正类型无关,这表明视觉矫正不会对参与休闲跑步构成障碍。仅使用眼镜跑步是最常见的选择(38.8%),至少有时会佩戴65.8%。戴眼镜跑步的人少于一般目的(98.9%),这表明眼镜有跑步的局限性。跑步时佩戴眼镜与没有隐形眼镜和更长的佩戴视力矫正时间显着相关。不加修正的跑步是一个常见的选择,15.5%的样本只运行,没有校正,26.2%的人至少有时在没有视力矫正的情况下跑步。不戴矫正与不戴隐形眼镜显著相关,佩戴视力矫正的持续时间较短,和较低的近视屈光不正。隐形眼镜是跑步15.6%的唯一矫正方法,有时至少要佩戴40.5%。女性和年轻跑步者更有可能使用隐形眼镜。如果以前没有考虑过这一点,建议将跑步者标记为隐形眼镜。
