A total of 29 eyes (25 dogs: one eye, 2 dogs: both eyes) with indolent corneal ulcer were treated with grid keratotomy from January 2008 to March 2010. The corneal lesions were reevaluated at 7-14 day intervals. The treatments had been repeated until fluorescein dye was not retained on the cornea and the epithelium did not appear to be loosely attached to the stromal layer. The healing rate of the corneal ulcers was 86.2%. The mean healing time ($mean{\pm}SD$) was $15.92{\pm}9.19$ days, ranged from 7 to 39 days. The lesions of remaining 4 eyes had deteriorated or not improved for more than 6 weeks. In those cases, $3^{rd}$ eyelid flap following grid keratotomy was applied. After 2 weeks, all of the eyes healed by the treatment. The results in this study suggest that grid keratotomy could be an excellent choice as an initial treatment for superficial corneal ulcers in dogs. In the cases of recurrence or to promote healing of the lesions, however, $3^{rd}$ eyelid flap following grid keratotomy is recommended.

Removal efficiency and potential of N and P by Salix gracilistyla Miq. are determined in continuous flow tanks as a function of hydraulic retention time (HRT, days) and nutrient concentration (NC). Results show that the removal efficiency was longer HRT and lower nutrient solution. And also removal potential was higher at shorter HRT and higher nutrient concentration, and the regression equations were estimated. Mean above ground biomass of Salix gracilistyla Miq. in the middle reaches of Suip stream was 4880.81 g/$m^2$, and estimated removal by this vegetation from biomass and estimated equation above were 0.49~15.49 NH$_4$-N kg/day, 5.83~405.39 NO$_3$-N kg/day, 7.57~23.22 PO$_4$-P kg/day in Suip stream, respectively when HRT was 0.59~5.21, inflow concentration was 0.05~0.4, mg/L NH$_4$-N, 1.42~11.36 mg/L NO$_3$-N, 0.1~0.27 mg/L PO$_4$-P. According to this study, it is concluded that Salix gracilistyla Miq. are contribute by their high biomass and for water quality improvement of stream through nutrient removal potential.

Color correction between two or multiple images is very crucial for the development of subsequent algorithms and stereoscopic 3D camera system. Even though various color correction methods are proposed recently, there are few methods for measuring the performance of these methods. In addition, when two images have view variation by camera positions, previous methods for the performance measurement may not be appropriate. In this paper, we propose a method of measuring color difference between corresponding images for color correction. This method finds matching points that have the same colors between two scenes to consider the view variation by correspondence searches. Then, we calculate statistics from neighbor regions of these matching points to measure color difference. From this approach, we can consider misalignment of corresponding points contrary to conventional geometric transformation by a single homography. To handle the case that matching points cannot cover the whole regions, we calculate statistics of color difference from the whole image regions. Finally, the color difference is computed by the weighted summation between correspondence based and the whole region based approaches. This weight is determined by calculating the ratio of occupying regions by correspondence based color comparison.

Although there has been much advance in the development of 3D displays of various purpose, 3D contents are not yet so used as expected in those displays. One well-known obstacle in the enjoyment of 3D contents is visual fatigue, but another major issue is image distortion of 3D contents. In the previous research, Shin, Li, & Kim (2012) reported systematic linear relationship between screen disparity and size perception of a simple object whose retinal size was constant across different disparities. In this research, we intended to generalize the previous finding by using various 3D stimuli in the test of the relationship between screen disparity and size perception of those stimuli. Consistent with previous findings, our data indicated that size perception linearly changes as a function of screen disparity and the linearity was observed in all stimuli types we used in this research. We described the empirical relationship between screen disparity and size perception in the form of prediction function for size perception in which visual angle is the predictor. This function will be very useful in the creation of 3D contents as one can make reasonable predictions on the to-be-perceived size of an object being filmed using screen disparity of their camera setting.

For the myopia eyes of the people which are ametropia, the classified distribution has showed % for the simple myopic, 50% for the compound myopic astigmatism, 15% for the simple myopic astigmatism and 19% for the mixed astigmatism. The myopic ametropia for the both eyes has the distribution of 35% for -0.50D~-2.00Dptr, 54% for -2.00~6.00Dptr, and 11% for over -6.00Dptr. The classifying distribution for the age for the myopic ametropia was 54% for 15~20, 22% for 21~40, 14% for 41~60 and 10% for 61. The occupational distribution for the myopic ametropia has showed 61.5% for the student(Middle, High, College), 13.5% for the office worker, and 15% for the house wives as well as the small business. The hour affecting the refraction most for a day was after P.M. 7 which recorded 45% as the highest value. The reason is that the myopia degree decreases in the morning as the cornea flats and the situation is reversed in the afternoon so that there is a difference of Sph -0.50D and as getting darker the refraction degree of the light coming through the enlarged pupil refraction around the cornea is high. For the seasons the highest myopic degree has been recorded for 68% in the summer due to the shortage of nutrition and the climination inside the body by the exhaustion of sweat. In the blood types A and B are distributed closely as 34% and more active man with O has recorded higher myopic degree than woman. However woman showed higher accommodation power than man regardless the blood types. In the characteristic factors of myopic eye, the character feels fatigue easily has showed the distribution for 42% which is the highest and it could be classified largely by two the.

Purpose: This study was to compare differences between both eyes in corneal powers, axial lengths, anterior chamber depths in anisometropia and isometropia, and to investigate the relationship between anisometropia and refractive components. Methods: The subject was a total of 83 patients, anisometropia 45 patients (90 eyes) and isometropia 38 patients (76 eyes) from 2.7 to 15.3 years old, prescribed eyeglasses and contact lenses by refraction from July 2010 to August 2010 in Gwangju City B eye clinic. Axial length, anterior chamber depth, corneal curvature, and corneal refractive power were measured using IOL Master. Refractive error was measured using an Auto-refractometer. Results: Anisometropia was a statistically significant difference in axial length, binocular refractive components, refractive error, and axial length, Axial length/corneal radius (AL/CR) ratio showed a statistically significant difference in anisometropia and isometropia. The major cause of anisometropia all 45 subjects was the axial length. Among the refractive components axial length, AL/CR had a strong correlation, but corneal refractive power had no correlation. Anterior chamber depth had a weak correlation. Conclusions: This study found that refractive error was the most axial ametropia caused by the axial length. The main cause of anisometropia was the axial length, but refractive components had a weak correlation.

Purpose: Measurement of the horizontal and vertical prism diopter was investigated which was occurred due to distance differences between the optical inter-centeral distance (OC) and the interpupillary distance (PD) of the prescribed glasses. Methods: We surveyed 96 subjects (192 eyes) at the average age of 21.56 years old. The PD was measured by using the PD measurement system (DONGYANG PD-85, Korea), and the OC of the glasses was measured by using the projective peak refractive power measurement system (TOPCON CL-200, Japan). The OH value was measured by using Penlight and the PD ruler. Results: The PD which had been measured by the PD system and the OC of the glasses revealed 78.1% of differences. 62.5% of the objects were base-in value prescribed glasses; 58.3% were out of permissible error. Only 8 subject showed concurrence between the prescribed glasses and the OH value, and 82.3% of the objects were induced vertical prism of over 1 (prism diopter). Conclusions: In order to improve the vision function of people who wear glasses, it is necessary to advance the accuracy of PD, OH measurement and making glasses as well.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine diurnal variation of accommodation on people whose age are between 35 and 50 years old with frequent alternation of accommodation at period 1 (8:00-10:00), period 2(13:00-15:00) and period 3 (18:00-20:00). Methods: All \04 subjects were separated to nonpresbyopia and incipient presbyopia. Tests were done for amplitude of accommodation, accommodative facility and relative amplitude of accommodation. Results: Both nonpresbyopia and incipient presbyopia had the highest amplitude of accommodation in oculus dexter, oculus sinister and oculus uterque at period 2. In addition, the incipient presbyopia showed the statistical significance of daily change. The nonpresbyopia had the most accommodative facility at period 3 and incipient presbyopia had the most accommodative facility at period 2. Their daily variations were statistically significant. Both nonpresbyopia and incipient presbyopia had the most negative relative accommodation of daily change at period I. Both of them had the most positive relative accommodation at period 2. Conclusions: The incipient presbyopia had the highest amplitude of accommodation, accommodative facility. and positive relative accommodation (except the negative relative accommodation) at period 2.

Purpose: This study was designed to investigate the current status of visual acuity for elementary school students in Muan-gun and to analyze improvements of their visual function after vision training for the elementary school students who have either insufficiency of accommodation or vergence. Methods: Subjective refraction, objective refraction and binocular function were examined for 335 elementary school children from year 1 to year 6 live in Muan area, and then 47 students who have symptoms of binocular dysfunction among them were selected. We analyzed and compared between before and after vision training (VT) in binocular vision function results. Results: The results show that most of the subjects had much problem in near point convergence (NPC) than accommodation. After the vision training, the average of subjects NPC was improved about 5.93 cm, from $11.57 {\pm}1.850$ cm for before VT to $5.66{\pm}0.965$ cm for after VT. After VT positive fusional vergence at near distance after VT was $19.64{\pm}3.66$ $\Delta$, which was as much as double of near phoria. Accommodative amplitude was improved from $10.02{\pm}2.566$ D for before VT to $12.30{\pm}1.397$ D for after VT, which similar to mean of expected accommodative amplitude of 11.27 years old. Conclusions: Among insufficiency of accommodation and vergence NPC was improved specially, and accommodative facility and other ocular functions were also improved. Therefore, it is considered the vision training is very effective to recover from visual function problems.

Human beings experience the outside world through senses and have developed various ways of representation to preserve what they've experienced. The rapid progress of digital technology has opened a new era of representation technology, and furthermore, is functioning as a technology which offers new experiences. The sensory experiences through the sense of sight, which humans depend on more than 70% to perceive the outside world, have been becoming the center of representing the reality as the 3-D graphics technology has been growing, and developing by being grafted onto different areas of study. Various technologies to express the sense of reality, such as the technology to reinforce the virtual reality and to represent it in the reality, computer graphic, TUI technology, and five sensory technologies which apply humans' senses, are making advancement based on humans' visual features and sensory elements. In particular, the 3-D technology to display solidness provides not only representation but also new sensory experiences, and is emerging as the key technology to image contents. However, compared to the development of technology of 3-D graphics, there have been few basic studies on the principles of the sense of vision. Therefore, in this study, the principles and elements to sense videos will be examined. The sensory features of 3-D images to represent the sense of reality will be researched into, especially focusing on the experiential and physiological elements to sense 3-D structures, and the physical and psychological elements to sense shapes, which might be hopefully the basic study for producing 3-D contents.
