To investigate the difference in the value of horizontal heterophoria measured in phoria test of about normal 72 college students, using both Von Graefe test and Maddox rod test. We used two different methods which are Von Graefe test and Maddox rod test on full correction condition at the long distance. Using Von Graefe test of horizontal heterophoria Measurement, We measured 21 patients(29%) for orthophoria, 36 patients(50%) for exophoria and 15 patients(21%) for esophoria at distance. Using Maddox rod test of horizontal heterophoria Measurement, We measured 36 patients(50%) for orthophoria, 26 patients(36%) for exophoria and 10 patients(14%) for esophoria at distance. Each test average were $0.93{\Delta}$ BI for Von Graefe test, $0.96{\Delta}$ BI for Maddox rod test. We could not find the definite difference about the value of horizontal heterophoria aby testing method. Furthermore, heterphoria AC/A ratio was found to vary from 1.0 to 8.8 and its relationship to refractive error could not be determined.

To investigate the subjective refractive error with Von Graefe test. Maddox Rod test and polarizing lens test of Horizontal Heterophoria Measurement at distance on normal 109 subjects aged from 18 to 30 years old. The results were as follows: 1. Using Von Graefe Horizontal Heterophoria Measurement, they were measured 15% for orthophoria, 65% for exophoria and 20% for esophoria at distance. 2. Using Maddox Rod Horizontal Heterophoria Measurement, they were measured 14% for orthophoria, 57% for exophoria and 29% for esophoria at distance. 3. Using polarizing lens test of Horizontal Heterophoria Measurement, they were measured 15% for orthophoria, 72% for exophoria and 13% for esophoria at distance. 4. Each test average were $1.32{\Delta}BI$ for Von Graefe test, $0.88{\Delta}BI$ for Maddox Rod test and $1.76{\Delta}BI$ for polarizing lens test. 5. Patient's preference distribution were 44% for Von Graefe test, 28% for Maddox Rod test and 28% for polarizing lens test.

This Study on three different methods which are Von Graefe test, Maddox Rod test and Howell card test of measuring far and near lateral phoria investigated. It reviewed that 420 subjects aged from 15 to 35 years old. The result were as follows; 1. Using Von Graefe lateral phoria measurement, they were measured 6% for orthophoria, 62% for exophoria, 32% for esophoria at far distance. 2. Using Von Graefe lateral phoria measurement, they were measured 2% for orthophoria, 74% for exophoria, 24% for esophoria at near distance. 3. Using Maddox Rod lateral phoria measurement, they 59% for exophoria, 37% for esophoria at far distance. 4. Using Maddox Rod lateral phoria measurement, they 67% for exophoria, 30% for esophoria at near distance. 5. Using Howell card lateral phoria measurement, they 60% for exophoria, 32% for esophoria at far distance. 6. Using Howell card lateral phoria measurement, they 69% for exophoria, 27% for esophoria at near distance.

Purpose: This study compared the quantity of phoria for distance by new method with that by existing methods. Methods: For this study, it was selected to two existing phoria measurements, von Graefe and Maddox rod. And new method named "3D polarizing phoria measurement" was designed to measure the quantity of phoria using polarizing glasses and 3D display. Unlike existing measurement using polarized lens, newly considered method measured the quantity of phoria in condition removed perfect binocular fusion using field stop on apparatus and polarized lens. For using new method for distance, it was developed a phoria test chart. It supports three kinds of phoria measurements. Subjects were 12 (male 6, female 6). They had three phoria tests (1 sets) including new method. It was considered the effect of experimental order, so we tested all cases about experimental order. The number of cases was 6 sets, and the sample size in this experiment was 72 sets. For removing binocular fusion, lighting of the laboratory that was below 10 lx and the background color of phoria test chart was dark, RGB=(20, 20, 20). Results: Subjects were sorted into three groups. Samples with exophoria and orthophoria were 30 sets each, and those with esophoria were 12 sets. The quantity of phoria measured three tests differ from each other like "newmethod < von Graefe < Maddox rod", and there were statistically significant difference each other. Conclusions: This study has great significance in the sense that new method was the measurement with naturally removing binocular fusion without dizziness during the tests.

We did the comparison research about three different methods of measuring horizontal phoria and vertical phoria which are Von Graefe test, Maddox Rod test and polarizing lens test. The inspection was don with the subjective method of refraction about normal 63 subjects aged from 20 to 28 years old. The analysis of date resulted in as follows : 1. Using Von Graefe Horizontal phoria Measurement, they were measured 5% for orthpharia, 51% for exophoria and 44% for esophoria. 2. Using Von Graefe vertical phoria Measurement, they were measured 68% for orthphoria, 20% for left hypophoria against the right and 12% for left hyperphoria against the right. 3. Using Maddox Rod Horizontal phoria Measurement, they were measured 7% for orthphoria, 49% for exophoria and 44% for esophoria. 4. Using Maddox Rod vertical phoria Measurement, they were measured 70% for orthphoria, 19% for left hypophoria against the right and 11% for left hyperphoria against the right. 5. Using Polarizing Horizontal phoria Measurement, they were measured 10% for orthphoria, 49% for exophoria and 41% for esophoria. 6. Using Polarizing vertical phoria Measurement, they were measured 92% for orthpharia, 5% for left hypophoria against the right and 3% for left hyperphoria against the right.
