Purpose: This study was undertaken to study on visual function before and after prescription of vertical prism. Methods: 80 subjects (10-30ages) who had been precribed vertical prism and 1 year after they were represcribed vertical prism. Results: Phoria (p=0.000), supra vergence (p=0.000), NPC (p=0.003), NPA (right eye) (p=0.005), NPA(left eye) (p=0.000) showed a significant change. Conclusion: Vertical prism prescription was reduced during revisit. Supra vergence, NPC, NPA(right eye), NPA(left eye) showed a significant change. Binocular Accommodative lag was not associated with vertical prism prescription and binocular vision findings.

Purpose: The purpose of this case study is to prescribe a prismatic correction in uncommon case of cyclovertical heterophoria. Methods: The prescribed prism was used to balance the vertical vergence break values by the binocular vision evaluation such as phoria, vergence, accommodative function and the others. Results: Although asymptomatic lateral phoria was changed, the vertical prismatic correction improved the symptoms such as eyestrain, headaches, diplopia and others. And cyclophoria was disappeared by prismatic correction. Conclusions: The prismatic correction for this case was useful for alleviating symptoms of cyclovertical deviations.

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.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the differences among prism settings of the von Graefe technique for phoria measurement. Methods: Thirty eight healthy subjects (mean age $22.35{\pm}2.72years$) were tested with eye examination by interview, cover test, and refraction. Phorias were measured in a random order using four prism settings for the von Graefe method: base-in (BI) and base-up (BU), BI and base-down (BD), BU and BI, and BD and BI over the right and left eye, respectively. Results: Among the four prism settings in measurements of lateral and vertical phoria, there were not significant differences at distance, whereas there were significant at near. The reliability of near lateral phoria (ICC: 0.95) was good, but that of near vertical phoria was less reliable (ICC: 0.83). In comparisons of the paired t-test, the 95% limits of agreement, and mean difference between prism settings, BU had more useful than other prism settings at near phoria. Conclusions: Results from this study suggest that the von Graefe test with BU or BU including other setting prisms have useful methods, especially for near phoria measurements.

This research was investigated to find out the examinees' refractive problems within heterophoria using Torrington method. The number of subjects ware approximately 327 and subjects were sourced from the 12th grade student at high school in Kwang-Ju city. Result obtained shows 21.4% of emmetropia and 78.6% of ametropia. Most of refractive errors were myopia and due to it's condition, frequency of ametropia and emmetropia at the similar rate. However, one that consist of refractive problems, it's myopia contains 74.9% of heterophoria. Due to emmetropia, horizontal heterophoria have 45.7% of exophoria and 4.3% of esophoria. Myopia shows 11.4% of esophoria and 63.5% of exophoria. Hozizonda heterophoria shows 5.7% of emmetropia and myopia of 22.4%, than average of esophoria shows $4.3P{\Delta}$ and case of myopia, it was $3.4P{\Delta}$. Case of Exphoria, emmetropia have $8.8P{\Delta}$ and within myopia $8.0P{\Delta}$. Vertical heterophoria owns $2.2P{\Delta}$ within emmetropia and case of myopia $4.3P{\Delta}$ was shown. Which shows myopia result value higher than emmetropia.

As the results of phoria measurement of Korean adults for 106 males and 55 females, the elevens (6.8%) are orthophoria, the nineties (55.9%) are esophoria and the fifty fives (34.2%) are exophoria respectively. Also the thirty threes (20.4%) are right hyperphoria against the left eye and the thirty eights (23.6%) are left hyperphoria against the right eye. Horizontal phoria is below $10{\Delta}$ mostly and vertical phoria is below $5{\Delta}$.

Purpose: Stereopsis is one of primary characteristics for assessment of binocular function. The purpose of this study was to determine the possible relationship between the degree of exophoria and stereoacuity at near. Methods: 110 exophores (male n=71, female n=39, mean $age{\pm}SD=11.30{\pm}1.47$ years) without amblyopia, strabismus, and ocular and systemic pathology were studied. Subjects were also excluded if they had visual acuity poorer than 0.8 in either eye or vertical phoria greater than 1 prism diopter. Clinical tests were performed for near phorias by von Graefe technique using a Digital Refractor (CDR-3100, Huvitz, Korea) with chart (Predio CDC-4000, Huvitz, Korea), and for stereoacuity using the Titmus fly. Results: A one-way analysis of variance revealed that mean values of the stereoacuity classified according to the degrees of the exophoria were not significantly different (p>0.05). Conclusions: Based on the result of this study, it was found that there was no relationship between the degree of exophoria and stereoacuity.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of vision training using MYSTERY CIRCLE system on patients with exophoria and intermittent extropia. Mehtods: The vision training observation group consists of 26 clients who had exophoria (n=18) and intermittent extropia (n=8) without opthalmic diseases or vertical phoria. Our clients took each vision training once a week for eight weeks and were investigated for the symptoms changes of binocular vision. Results: According to the results, MISTERY CIRCLE vision training methods improved the binocular vision function and sensation symptoms. For Worth 4 Dot test, Titmus test and red lenses showed fusion rate changes. Conclusions: The study proved that MISTERY CIRCLE vision training system for patients with binocular vision was effective for the improvement of the binocular vision symptoms of these patients.
