Purpose: To develop a program for analyzing the condition of implanted ICL lenses in case the residual astigmatism appears after the implantation. Methods: From analyzing the measured residual astigmatism after operating ICL lens, we could induce formulas that produce the rotating angle and the corresponding MR prescription of the implanted ICL lens. Using the Delphi 6.0 language, we could develop a program by which we conveniently confirm, in the window screen visually, the rotating angle and the corresponding MR prescription of the implanted ICL lens calculated by these formulas. Results: We induced formulas that produce the rotating angle and the corresponding MR prescription of the implanted ICL lens by analyzing the measured residual astigmatism after operating ICL lens and developed a program which can analyze the condition of the implanted ICL lens. By this program we could easily analyze the condition of the implanted ICL lens. Conclusions: Judging from the results of applying this program to many clinical cases, we could conclude that this program is very effective in analyzing the condition of implanted ICL lenses.

We compared the study of refractive error of the eyes done in 1998 with that reported three years ago at any high school in the north Kyungki. From the these data, the distribution of ammetropia was investigated. The study of refractive error for high school students was also compared with those reported before for the Adults and the middle school student. When the refractive error is refered to spherical equivalent, the 40.6% of the whole students examined above had emmetropia and the other part of them(59.4%) turned out to be ammetropia which is classified to 46.4% belonged to myopia and 13.0% belonged to hyperpia. The ratio of emmetropia for the students in 1998 is 4.4% lower, and the ratio of hyperopia is 4.3% lower, but the ratio of myopia for the students in 1998 is 8.7% higher than that for the student in 1995. In the kind of refracive error, it is classified that a simple myopia is shown to highest ratio as a 23.6% of 6143 eyes examined, a compound myopic astigmatism to the next high ratio as a 17.4%, a simple myopic astigmatism as 10.9%, a simple hyperopic astigmatism as 9.8%, a simple astigmatism as 7.1%, a compound hyperopic astigmatism as 2.2%, a mixed astigmatism as a 1.8%, respectively. The percentage of an astigmatism is a 69.6% of total eyes examined if Cyl-0.25 Dptr is included to an astigmatism. On the other hand. The percentage of an astigmatism is a 45.0% of total eyes examined if Cyl-0.25 Dptr is excluded to an astigmatism. In the kind of astigmatism, the number of students had an astigmatism with the rule is about 5.6 times than that of astigmatism against the rule. From the result of comparison the right eye with the left eye, the right eye of the students had more a myopic refractive error than the left eye, which is same as adults' case.

To specify the standard of LASEK surgery, this study examined the determination factors affecting the high order aberrations (HOAs) in preoperative and postoperative LASEK. 51 adult patients (102 eyes) were evaluated at the baseline and 2 months after LASEK surgery from Nov 2011 to Jul 2012. The postoperative HOAs ($0.538{\mu}m$) were higher than the preoperative ($0.341{\mu}m$). In linear regression analysis, the refractive components that affected the postoperative HOAs were $J_0$ of corneal astigmatism (CA, 0.400), $J_0$ of refractive astigmatism (RA, 0.389), corneal astigmatism (CA, 0.282), spherical equivalent (SE, 0.239), refractive astigmatism (RA, 0.213), and pupil size (PS, 0.194) with a high R. In multiple regression, $J_0$ of CA, PS and SE were significant factors with the postoperative HOAs. In conclusion, both HOAs and $J_0$ of CA should be considered when determining the suitable factors for LASEK surgery.

Purpose: This study was to investigate the changes of refractive error and astigmatism associated with age in Korean subjects between the ages of 6 and 80 years during 10-year period. Methods: 220 normal subjects (345 eyes) who visited ophthalmic clinic was recruited and followed for 10 years between 1999 and 2009, cycloplegic manifest refraction being performed annually. Visual acuity was tested on a Han's chart. Results: The mean 10-year change in the spherical equivalent refraction (SER) of age 6 to 10 years old and 10 to 20 years was -3.649D and -2.165D respectively. There was no change of refractive error in age 21 to 40 years. The myopic shift decreased with age from 41 up to 69 years but increased slightly in patients 70 years and older; the hyperopic shift showed the opposite trend. The distribution of refractive error over the 10 years in aged 6 to 10 and 11 to 20 years was shifted myopic. The incidence of medium (> -3.01D) to high myopia at age 6 to 10 years was 4.8% and after 10 years was 62.5%. The 10-year change of astigmatism axis was in "with the rule" direction for younger age group and in a "against the rule" direction for older subjects. Conclusions: This study has documented refractive error changes in Korean subjects and confirmed reported trends of myopic shift from age 6-20 years and hyperopic shift before age 70 years and a myopic shift thereafter. The axis of astigmatism turns to "against the rule" after 40's.

Purpose: The study was conducted to compare the values of auto-refraction, manifest refraction and cycloplegic refraction in school-aged children. Methods: One hundred five myopic school children ranged from 6 to 14 years old (210 eyes, $10.28{\pm}1.59$ years old) were recruited and noncycloplegic auto-refraction (AR) and manifest refraction (MR) were conducted and then underwent cycloplegia and refractive status (CR) again with the auto-refractometer. Results: Refractive powers measured by AR, MR, and CR were highly correlated. However, spherical and cylindrical powers of the subjects measured by AR were measured higher negative power than in CR (p<0.001). From 210 eyes, the discrepancy rate in the spherical and cylindrical powers were 40 eyes (19%) and 19 eyes (9%) of the total subjects, respectively and the differences between noncycloplegic and cycloplegic refractions were higher with the spherical and cylindrical powers increasing. Conclusions: The use of the autorefractometer in children with negative spherical power without cycloplegia may overestimate the actual myopia that subjective refraction is the most important in prescription for the eyeglasses and regression equations would be used to prognose the cycloplegic refraction from the auto-refraction as the basic data for the subjective refraction.
