목적: 본 연구는 면봉으로 문지르기를 하였을 때 써클콘택트렌즈로부터의 염료 용출 여부를 알아보기 위하여 수행되었다. 방법: 총 7종의 써클콘택트렌즈를 면봉으로 문질렀을 때 표면의 변화를 주사전자현미경으로 관찰하고, $20^{\circ}C$ 및 $36.5^{\circ}C$에서 각각 다목적용액에 1 주일간 담가두었을 때의 염료용출과 비교하였다. 결과: 면봉으로 문지르기를 하였을 때 전면 혹은 후면에서 염료가 용출되어 나오는 렌즈는 총 7종 중 5종으로 나타났으며, 염료 용출 여부는 써클콘택트렌즈 종류에 따라 상이하였고 동일 써클콘택트렌즈라 하더라도 전면과 후면에서 상이하였다. 염료가 용출된 경우는 문지르기로 인하여 염료 부분이 긁혀 나감을 주사전자현미경 관찰을 통하여 확인할 수 있었다. 그러나 다목적용액에 $20^{\circ}C$ 혹은 $36.5^{\circ}C$에 1 주일간 담궈 두었을 때에는 염료는 용출되지 않았다. 실험 대상 써클콘택트렌즈 중 50% 이상의 제조사에서 착색제의 성분에 대한 정보를 제공하지 않고 있으며 염색방법 등과 같은 기본정보들이 부실하게 제공되고 있었다. 결론: 본 연구에서는 물리적인 힘이 가해졌을 때 써클콘택트렌즈의 염료 용출에 대한 결과를 도출하였고 써클콘택트렌즈의 개발 및 안전한 착용에 기여할 것으로 보인다. Purpose: The present study was conducted to investigate whether the elution of the dyes from the circle contact lenses existed or not when rubbed with cotton swab. Methods: The change of lens surface was observed by scanning electron microscope when a total of seven kinds of circle contact lens were rubbed with cotton swab, and the dye elution was further compared when the lenses were soaked in multi-purpose solution in $20^{\circ}C$ and $36.5^{\circ}C$ for a week. Results: Five of a total of 7 circle contact lenses showed the dye elution from the front or the back surface of the lens when rubbed with cotton swabs, and existence of dye elution was varied depending on the type of contact lenses and different at the front and back surface even in the same lens. The tear-off of the pigmented portion by the rubbing was found through scanning electron microscopic observation when the dye elution existed. However, the dye was not eluted when the circle contact lenses was soaked in a multi-purpose solution in $20^{\circ}C$ or $36.5^{\circ}C$ for a week. Ingredient of colorant was not provided by the manufacturers in more than 50% of the circle contact lenses investigated for this study and the basic information such as the pigmentation method was provided inappropriately. Conclusions: In this study, the result was the dye elution from circle contact lenses was obtained when a physical force is applied thus, it may appear to contribute the development of circle contact lenses and safety of lens wear.
