In this study we examined the context effects in reading Hangul (Korean alphabets) in normal and low vision, using the two different reading techniques, self-paced reading (Experiment 1) and rapid serial visual presentation (Experiment 2). We compared the reading speed of participants with normal or low vision in sentences vs. randomly ordered words. The results from both experiments showed that the reading speed of participants with low vision slowed significantly relative to those with normal vision. However, the patterns in the size of context effects were different in the two experiments. The context effects were larger in low vision than in normal vision in self-paced reading, but they were smaller in low vision than in normal vision in RSVP. This result indicates that context may make a greater contribution for readers with low vision than for readers with normal vision when sufficient time is allowed to read; in contrary, its contribution is smaller for readers with low vision than for readers with normal vision when there is time limitation for reading.

Purpose: We were to obtain the basic data for studying kinetic visual acuity through the comparative analysis in kinetic visual acuity, visual acuity, refractive error, pupil size, and hand reaction time for college students. Methods: We had tested the kinetic visual acuity, visual acuity, refractive error and hand reaction time using the kinetic visual acuity tester (KOWA AS-4A), the hand reaction time program and auto-refractometer for thirty-nine male and same female optometry students with more than +0.1 LogMAR visual acuity in both eyes. And the results were examined gender differences of kinetic visual acuity and the factors correlation. Results: In the measured values of male, pupil size were 6.00 mm, hand reaction time 0.23 msec, refractive error -1.66 D, visual acuity -0.07, kinetic visual acuity 0.59 and pupil size 5.86 mm, hand reaction time 0.24 msec, refractive error -2.08 D, visual acuity -0.02, kinetic visual acuity 0.46 in female. It was significant difference for kinetic visual acuity values but other factors were not. The kinetic visual acuity and left visual acuity had the highest correlation, r=-0.406. The kinetic visual acuity indicated more excellent values in the case of increasing visual acuity and decreasing myopia amount. Conclusions: It was able to see that male college students were better than female for kinetic visual acuity and the visual acuity were related to kinetic visual acuity.

Purpose: To investigate the genetic association of visual acuity(VA) between young children, schoolchildren, juveniles, and their parents. Methods: 208(4 to 18 yrs) subjects who are belongs to young children, schoolchildren and juveniles and 340 their parents were assessed. Corrected and uncorrected visual acuity in each eye were measured using Han's test chart(5m). Results: There was no correlation with father's VA on under 6years but mother's VA tend to effect on male children. In case of elementary school students, their VA shows strong correlations with their parents VA; VA uner 0.7 group shows both parents VA was under 0.7 and VA over 0.7 group tend to shows their parents VA was over 0.7. Moreover, in juvenile, there was strong correlation between mother's VA and male children's VA. Conclusion: Our study showed that the family history, especially mother's visual acuity, had more effect on the problem of their children's visual acuity.

In this paper, I had tried to analyze the relationship between the time assigned for computer usage and weakening eyesight. First of all, students classified by gender, school year, eyesight, and wearing glasses along demographic characters took part in a poll, and The questionnaire included questions about computer time, factors of weakening eyesight, and purpose of computer use. The finding in this analysis composed of a cross-tabulations between annual eyesight change and the factors to change their eyesight is that 63.6 % of 165 students participated in this survey weakened their eyesight within a year. To show a correlation between computer usage duration and worsening eyesight in this paper, regression analysis indicated weakened vision by computer usage duration per day and week instead of a year. In addition, according to the analysis between computer usage duration and weakened vision for the people who wear glasses or not trough Independent-Samples T test, weakened vision was shown in computer usage duration per day and week, but not shown in the duration by the year. Therefore, weakening vision was also worse for the people who didn't wear glasses than the others. This study indicated 24..5% of teenagers had poor eyesight by using their computer. According to the frequency analysis on purposes of computer usage, the biggest purpose accounting for 36.4% of the total was the computer usage as a game consol, and the computer as a learning tool was the next biggest purpose at 32.1%. This paper showed the correlation between computer usage time and a factor of weakened eyesight through an analysis of the factor. Therefore, schoolchildren's parents should be more interested in their computer usage.

The aim of this study was to survey the presenting visual acuity (VA) and satisfaction of VA tests in health checkups and to suggest ways in which eye care can be improved. VA data were obtained from the results of the health checkups for Korean adults in 2002-2007. Satisfaction questionnaires were administered via direct interview with 173 participants who had health checkups. The prevalence of VA 0.5-1.4 was 76.24%. Women had a higher prevalence than men below VA 0.9 and men had a higher prevalence than women above VA 1.0. The change in VA with age had a tendency to decrease after forties. Findings for satisfaction of VA tests on health checkups showed a level of neutral agreement. In order to enhance satisfaction, it is important that vision testing should provide examinees with referral criterion and follow-up VA results. It is also necessary to have comprehensive eye examination and utilize optometric instruments and professional examiners.
