Purpose: To investigate the near horizontal heterophoria of the college students in their twenties on north Kyonggi Province. Methods: The all subjects had not experienced any ocular surgery and have no disease and their mean age is 22.9. As 122 subjects, they are 50 emmetropes and 72 ametropes. The ametropes are all myopia. After distance visual acuity correction with subjective and objective refraction test, evaluated their horizontal heterophoria with red maddox rod. Results: In maddox rod test, the subjects consist of orthophoria 4.9%, esophoria 9.8% and exophoria 85.3%. In the emmetropes orthophoria is 8%, esophoria is also 8% and exophoria is 84%. In the ametropes orthophoria is 2.8%, esophoria is 11.1% and exophoria is 86.1%. The mean size of horizontal heterophoria is esophoria 3.59PD (prism diopter), exophoria 7.04PD and in the emmetropes esophoria is 3.25PD, exophoria is 6.60PD. In the ametropes esophoria is 3.75PD and exophoria is 7.34PD. Conclusions: In the emmetropoes the orthophoria is more than in the ametropes and the esophoria and exophoria is more in the ametropes. But the differences between the heterophoria and emmetropia or ametropia were not significant (p>0.05). The mean size of heterophoria is higher in the ametropes than in the emmetropoes. The distribution range of heterophoria is wider in the male subjects than the female subjects.

Purpose: To assess the refractive state of the westerners (male: 44, female: 62) in twenties who visited the A optical shop at Seoul. Methods: The visual acuity test was performed by the objective and subjective method. Results: The emmetropia and myoptia were 35 and 177 eyes (83.49%), respectively. About 26.76% of tested males was ametropia. Myopia compound and myopia simple astigmatism were found in 60.56% and 12.68% of tested males, respectively. However, about 43.40% of tested females was ametropia. Myopia compound and myopia simple astigmatism were 49.06% and 7.55% were found in tested females, respectively. As for the equivalent spheric power of myopic abnormal refractive eyes, the -0.5D < spheric equivalent ${\leq}$ -2.00D was 35.02% of tested westerners, the -2.00D < spheric equivalent ${\leq}$ -6.00D was 60.45% and anything over the -6.00D was 4.53%. The percentages of with-the-rule, against-the-rule and oblique astigmatism among people with astigmatism were 59.82%, 26.78% and 13.40%, respectively. The average of pupillary distance in male (63.5${\pm}$2.4 mm) was greater than that in female (59.7${\pm}$2.3 mm). Conclusions: Korean opticians were provided some useful information about making up a prescription for the westerners in twenties by this research.

This study aims at establishing the decision-making support system for the highway assets, long-term performance presumption and evaluation of asset value, which are appropriate for Korea, and proposing the methods of the optimal engineering method and the timing decision for the preventive maintenance through the project evaluation, the optimization method and life-cycle analysis related to the highways. In order to supplement the current problem of the near-sighted budget management system, which chooses the maintenance place of the highway, depending on the level of the budget with fixed amount, the long-term required budget prediction system and the economy principle were introduced, so that the pavement agency can predict the level of the required budget, and it was aimed to develop the pavement asset evaluation system to maintain the performance of the highway with the minimum of the cost. In the use of the highway pavement asset evaluation system, to maintain the appropriate level of the pavement evaluation index, when the budget was efficiently established in the reference of the required maintenance budget for the chosen section of the highway in the year concerned, it was possible to analyze the most rational pavement maintenance budget. With this result, it is estimated to prevent the unnecessary waste of budget in advance, and through the development of the decision-making system for the long-term performance presumption and the asset value estimation of the pavement, it is expected to able to analyze the previous evaluation of the project related to the highway and the feasibility of introduction.

In the face of revolutionary changes in industry, the relationship between labor and income needs to be reconceptualized in the period of social revolution. The absolute decrease in labor due to the absence of labor is caused by automation, smartization, AI, robot labor, etc., which we must accept whether we want to or not. However, while gross social product and capital of the state or society increase, individual income is likely to decrease. During this transformation period, the state or politics must prepare for the problems caused by the decline in individual income. Until now, there have been various levels of discussion on social welfare or social security from the perspective of welfare or assistance. Attempts or studies at the experimental level have been conducted at the level of many countries or local governments and have found positive and negative effects. There is no basic income system that is widely implemented at the national level, and various discussions are taking place from a future-oriented perspective. Therefore, I propose to look at it from a new perspective based on the perspective so far. We explored that it is part of a positive approach to examine the importance and necessity of basic income in terms of working hours, quality of labor, income, quality of life, value of spare time, and work-life balance. The goal is to actively accept the absolute lack of working hours, replacement of mechanical labor, and polarization due to changes in the industry paradigm, and to look at the problems that come from a positive perspective. If we are going to accept it anyway, we should not look at these issues as short-sighted, but prepare them preemptively and establish a primitive plan from a long-term and overall perspective. Smartphones have changed the world over the past decade and have been lost, but wouldn't there be a lot of new discoveries? Shouldn't we think of it as a great opportunity to improve the quality of life through technological changes?

Purpose: To compare corneal asphericity, visual acuity (VA), and ocular and corneal higher-order aberrations (HOAs) between myopic refractive surgery and emmetropia groups. Methods: Twenty three subjects ($23.0{\pm}2.5$ years) who underwent myopic refractive surgery and twenty emmetropia ($21.0{\pm}206$ years) were enrolled. The subjects'criteria were best unaided monocular VA of 20/20 or better in both two groups. High and low contrast log MAR visual acuities were measured under photopic and mesopic conditions. Corneal and ocular HOAs were measured using Wavefront Analyzer (KR-1W, Topcon) for 4 mm and 6 mm pupils. Corneal asphericity was taken by topography in KR-1W. Results: There was no significant difference in VA between two groups under either photopic or mesopic conditions. In ocular aberrations, there were significant differences in total HOAs, fourthorder and spherical aberration (SA) for a 6 mm between two groups (p=0.045, p<0.001, and p<0.001, respectively). In corneal aberrations, there was a significant difference in SA for 4 mm (p=0.001) and 6 mm (p<0.001) pupils between two groups and there were statistically significant differences in total HOAs (p<0.001) and fourth-order aberrations (p<0.001) between two groups for a 6 mm pupil. There was a significant correlation in emmetropia between Q-value and SA in ocular aberrations for 4 mm and 6 mm pupils (r=0.442, p=0.004, and r=0.519, p<0.001) and in corneal aberrations for 4 mm and 6 mm pupils (r=0.358, p=0.023, and r=0.646, p<0.001). No significant correlations were found between Q-value and SA in refractive surgery group. Conclusions: VA in myopic refractive surgery is better than or similar to emmetropia. Nevertheless, the more increasing pupil size is, the more increasing aberrations are. Thus, it could have an influence on the quality of vision at night.

Purpose: To study the difference between refractive errors obtained from manifest refraction (MR) and cycloplegic refraction (CR) in first-time spectacle wearers. To study the difference between manifest refractive errors and cycloplegic refractive errors in first-time spectacle wearers. Methods: From January 2002 to December 2002, manifest and cycloplegic refractions were carried out on the patients who visited an ophthalmology clinic for a spectacle prescription for the first-time. The patients were 509 male and 499 female patients aged between from 3 to 15 years old. Results: The cycloplegic refraction showed a less myopia and a more hyperopia compared with the non-cycloplegic refraction. The differences were more in female patients. The CR showed a less myopic and a more hyperopic refractive errors than the MR. The differences were more in female patients. The average results from a pre- and a post-cycloplegic refraction showed a reduction of -0.22D in male, and -0.20D in female for the myopic group. For the myopic group, the myopic refractive errors by MR were -0.22D in male and -0.20D in female higher than the refractive errors by CR. Hyperopic group showed an increase of +0.37D in male, and +0.56D in female. For hyperopic group the hypropic refractive errors by CR were +0.37D in male and +0.56D in female higher than the refractive errors by CR. This difference between the results of a preand a post-cycloplegic refraction was more if the patients were younger. This difference between refractive errors by MR and by CR showed the younger the more and the proportions of pseudo-myopia and or latent hyperopia were also higher with younger patents age. The amounts of with-the-rule astigmatism and the oblique astigmatism were increased for the post-cycloplegic refraction in the CR refraction. Simple astigmatism reduced, but there was no difference found in the amount of astigmatism. The prevalence of simple astigmatism reduced, but there was no difference in the amount of astigmatism. Conclusions: The difference between manifest refraction and cycloplegic refraction was more in younger group. The difference of refrative error between by MR and CR increases with ageing decrease. Pseudo-myopia and latent hyperopia was also found in the younger group. Simple astigmatism reduced after cycloplegic refraction, there was no difference found in the amount of astigmatism. The prevalence of simple astigmatism reduced, but there was no difference in the amount of astigmatism.

Purpose: To evaluate changes in central and peripheral refraction along the horizontal visual fields in myopic corneal refractive surgery group compared with emmetropes. Methods: One hundred twenty eyes of 60 subjects ($23.56{\pm}2.54$ years, range: 20 to 29) who underwent myopic refractive surgery and 40 eyes of 20 emmetropes ($22.50{\pm}1.74$ years, range: 20 to 25) were enrolled. The central and peripheral refractions were measured along the horizontal meridianat $5^{\circ}$, $10^{\circ}$, $15^{\circ}$, $20^{\circ}$, $25^{\circ}$ in the nasal and temporal areas using an open-field autorefractor. For analysis of post-op group, the group was classified by pre-op spherical equivalents of < -6.00 D and ${\geq}-6.00D$ as two post-op groups. Results: Pre-op spherical equivalent was $-4.56{\pm}0.92D$ (rang: -2.50 to -5.58 D) in post-op group 1, and $-7.09{\pm}0.96D$ (rang: -6.00 to -9.00 D) in post-op group 2. Spherical equivalent (M) in the emmetropes ranged from $-0.20{\pm}0.22D$ at center to $-0.64{\pm}0.83D$ at $25^{\circ}$ in the temporal visual field and to $-0.20{\pm}0.67D$ at $25^{\circ}$ in the nasal visual field; M in post-op group 1 ranged from $-0.16{\pm}0.29D$ at center to $-5.29{\pm}1.82D$ at $25^{\circ}$ in the temporal visual field and to $-4.48{\pm}1.88D$ at $25^{\circ}$ in the nasal visual field; M in post-op group 2 ranged from $-0.20{\pm}0.32D$ at center to $-7.98{\pm}2.08D$ at $25^{\circ}$ in the temporal visual field and to $-7.90{\pm}2.26D$ at $25^{\circ}$ in the nasal visual field. Among the three groups, there was no significant difference in M at central visual field (p=0.600) and at $5^{\circ}$ in the temporal visual field (p=0.647), whereas, there was significant difference in M at paracentral and peripheral visual field (p=0.000). Conclusions: Emmetropes had relatively constant refractive errors throughout the central and peripheral visual field and showed myopic peripheral defocus along the horizontal visual field. On the other hand, in myopic corneal refractive surgery group, there were significant differences in refractive errors between the central and peripheral visual field compared with differences in the central and peripheral refraction patterns of emmetropes.

Purpose : The study looked at how effective each group wearing MyoVison lens, MC lens, and Single Vision lensdepending on their parents' myopia condition. Methods : The study observed the changeof spherical equivalent among customers, who visited between January 2010 and December 2016,of an optical shop in Incheon Metropolitan City. And we observed MyoVision 152 eyes, MC Lens 86 eyes and Single Vision lens 270 eyes. This study was conducted using SPSS ver18, which analyzes the changes in average values of MyoVision, MC Lens, and Single Vision for a year.In each group, the differences in the group were compared using the Paired T-test and then one-way ANOVA (post-hoc; Bonferroni) Results : Group-to-group comparisons showed that MyoVision and MC Lens have a shorterinhibition than Single Vision. In particular, MyoVisionand MC Lens showed different relief effects depending on the degree of refraction of parents.When both parents had normal refractive, the change between MyoVision and Single Vision lens was $-0.35{\pm}0.05D$. When the father had a refraction MC lens were $-0.36{\pm}0.14D$ more effective than Single Vision. When only the mother had refraction, the mean value between MyoVision and Single Vision lens was $-0.37{\pm}0.06D$, and the mean between MC lens and Single Vision lens was $-0.38{\pm}0.08D$. And when both parents had refraction problems, the mean value change between MyoVision and Single Vision lens was $-0.28{\pm}0.07D$, and $-0.31{\pm}0.07D$, respectively. Conclusion : MyoVision and MC Lens appeared to have no effect on the functions of mitigating myopia in within group comparisons, but MyoVision and MC Lens showed reducing myopia than Single Vision in between group.
