Purpose: The present study was aimed to investigate the effect of corneal eccentricity on the axial rotation when wearing toric soft contact lenses were worn for certain time and changing the gaze directions. Methods: Toric soft contact lenses with double thin zone design applied on 85 of with-the-rule astigmatic eyes. Then, rotational direction and amount of contact lenses were measured after 15 minutes and 6 hours of lens wear. The difference was further compared and analyzed according to corneal eccentricity. Results: The rotation of toric lens showed a tendency to rotate to temporal direction in all gaze directions except temporal-upper direction in all groups of corneal eccentricity. The amount of lens rotation in the frontal gaze direction exhibited a negative correlation since the amount was decreased with increasing corneal eccentricity after both 15 minutes and 6 hours of lens wearing. In many cases, the cornea with small eccentricity also showed the lens rotation larger than $10^{\circ}$. The difference in rotational amount after 15 minutes of toric lens wear was small according to the corneal eccentricity however, the change of rotational amount of contact lens according to corneal eccentricity was shown after 6 hours of lens wear. Conclusions: The present study revealed that the amount of axial rotation was largely varied according to the wearer's corneal eccentricity when wearing toric lens and the rotational amount after certain time of lens was also affected by corneal eccentricity. Thus, it is suggested that the selection of toric soft contact lenses based on corneal eccentricity is necessary.

Purpose: The present study was performed to investigate a relationship between the stable centrations of spherical RGP lens and aspherical RGP lens on cornea and corneal eccentricity. Methods: Two RGP lenses with different designs were fitted in alignment, steep or flat on total 84 eyes having corneal eccentricity of 0.28~0.78. The stable centration of lenses on cornea was analyzed by taking photographs with a high-speed digital camera. Results: The stable centrations of spherical and aspherical RGP lenses in horizontal direction were decentrated to temporal side. More centration to median side was shown when corneal eccentricity was larger. The difference between the stable centrations of spherical and aspheric RGP lenses according to corneal eccentricity was bigger when the fitting state was flatter. The difference in the stable centrations of aspherical RGP lens was smaller than that of spherical RGP lens regardless of fitting status. The stable centrations of spherical and aspherical RGP lenses in vertical direction were located below corneal apex regardless of fitting status however, there was no significant difference analyzed by the variation of corneal eccentricity. However, there were many cases that RGP lenses were in upper eyelid with increasing corneal eccentricity. Conclusions: The consideration of corneal eccentricity is required for RGP lens fitting and manufacturing aspherical RGP lens since the stable centration of spherical RGP lens as well as aspherical RPG lens' centration was changed depending on corneal eccentricity.

Two experiments were conducted to investigate effects of target types and retinal eccentricity on the search of a target while both target and background stimuli were static or moving. A visual search task was used in both experiments. The retinal eccentricity was determined by five concentric circles increasing by the unit of 1.6 and the target was different from the background stimuli in either orientation(orientation target) or a distinctive feature(feature target). In Experiment 1 where both the target and background stimuli were presented statically, an interaction between retinal eccentricity arid target type was found. While search time of the orientation target was not affected by the retinal eccentricity, that of the feature target increased as the retinal eccentricity increased. In Experiment 2 where all stimuli were moving, the interaction effect was also found. But the reason was not the same as that in Experiment 1. In the moving condition, while the search time of the orientation target decreased consistently as the retinal eccentricity increased, that of the feature target was not affected by the retinal eccentricity. The implications and limitations of the present results were discussed with respects to the real world situations such as driving cars or flying airplanes.

공간 주파수 대역 변화로 대표되는 이심률(eccentricity)에 따른 시각 정보처리의 특성 변화는 많은 시각연구에서 보고된 바 있다. 그러나, 연구된 시자극들의 단순성에 의하여 이 특성의 인공시각 기술개발에의 활용에는 어려운 부분이 많았다. 이에 본 연구에서는 실생활에서 쉽게 접하는 얼굴영상을 이용하여 이심률에 따른 공간 주파수 대역 변화를 정량화 하였다. 이 결과는 최근 관심이 고조되고 있는 생물 시각체계의 인공시각 기술개발의 다양한 방면에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Purpose: The present study was aimed to compare the tear volume and distribution by corneal eccentricity when fitted with spherical and aspherical RGP lenses. Methods: Spherical and aspherical RGP lenses were fitted in best alignment on a total of 77 subjects (136 eyes) in their twenties and thirties without any ocular disease or ocular surgery experience. The tear volume was analyzed by estimating the concentration of tear stained with fluorescein in the center of RGP lens as well as at the mid-peripheral and peripheral areas, and the difference of tear distributions was analyzed according to corneal eccentricity. Results: Tear distribution from the center to the peripheral area was not significantly different when spherical RGP lenses were fitted on the corneal eccentricities of e < 0.38 and $0.68{\leq}e$, indicating the relatively even tear distribution compared with other corneal eccentricity. In the case of aspherical RGP lenses, the difference of tear distribution between the central and peripheral areas was smaller than spherical RGP lenses. The significant difference of tear distribution according to RGP lens design was observed in the corneal eccentricity of 0.48 < e < 0.68. In other words, more even tear distribution was shown when aspherical RGP lenses were fitted on the cornea with eccentricity of $0.48{\leq}e<0.68$ and spherical RGP lenses were fitted on the cornea with eccentricity $0.68{\leq}e$. Furthermore, tear volume in the mid-peripheral area increased with higher corneal eccentricity. Conclusions: The results suggest that the appropriate selection of RGP lens design according to corneal eccentricity is necessary since tear volume and distribution by the regions of spherical and aspherical lenses are affected by corneal eccentricity.

Purpose: A correlation between the rotating direction and rotation amount according to the eccentricity was analyzed in the present study when fitting the toric soft contact lens. Methods: One hundred fourteen eyes of with-the-rule astigmatism in 20s and 30s were appropriately applied toric soft contact lens by the guideline of manufacturer and fitting evaluations and analyzed the rotating direction and rotation amount when fixating at primary position and 8 different directions of gaze. The speed of reorientation and the correlation between the rotation amount and cornea eccentricity were also analyzed when rotating $45^{\circ}$ each toward the temporal and nasal direction. Results: The cornea eccentricity and rotation amount was shown positive correlation. For the gaze of direction, it was identified that the gaze of directions other than the gaze of direction towards the nasal and temporal had correlation, and among them, the gaze of directions to superior and the superior-temporal showed the tendency of decreasing rotation amount as the cornea eccentricity increased. On the contrary, the gaze of direction towards the inferior, inferior-temporal, superior-nasal, and inferior-nasal showed tendency of increasing rotation amount as the cornea eccentricity increased thus, it was identified that the cornea eccentricity showed different correlation according to the gaze of direction. For the case of re-orientational speed, the speed of lens reorientation in the group having the smallest corneal eccentricity was fastest in both direction but was not significantly different. Conclusions: Considering cornea eccentricity to current method of prescribing toric soft contact lens which is based on total astigmatism, it will be helpful to establish the optimal axis stabilization.

외전형 유도전동기 모터는 내전형에 비해 소형화 및 경량화 시킬 수 있는 장점이 있다. 하지만 회전자와 고정자간의 공극사이에 이심률이 있을 때, 불균형 모멘트로 인한 토크 리플이 내 전형보다 더 크게 일어나는 단점이 있다. 이러한 토크리플은 모터의 정속적인 운전을 방해시킬 뿐만 아니라 불규칙한 출력토크로 인한 작동상의 오류를 초래한다. 본 논문에서는 의전형 모터에서 이심률에 따른 불균형력이 최소화 될 수 있는 슬롯 형태에 대해서 연구하기 위해, 전폐형, 반폐형, 개구형태의 3가지 슬롯 형태에 대한 특성을 비교 하였다. 개구형의 경우 슬롯 누설 리액턴스가 낮아져 토크 형성율이 매우 높아 높은 토크를 발생시킬 것을 예상 하였지만, 토크 리플에 따른 출력 감소로 오히려 출력토크가 감소할 뿐만 아니라 이심률 증가에 따른 불균형력 또한 매우 컸다. 이에 비해 전폐형태의 슬롯은 누설리엑턴스의 영향으로 토크 형성 자체는 10% 정도 저감 되었으나, 이심률 증가에 따른 분균형력이 가장 적어 의전형 모터에 가장 적함한 형태임을 알 수 있었다.

Crowding effect is the impairment of peripheral object identification due to nearby objects. Binocular rivalry is a phenomenon in which perception alternates between two different objects presented separately to each eye. The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between these two phenomena. We measured the magnitudes of visibility index of these two effects at 8 different locations of 3 different eccentricities (2, 5, and $10^{\circ}$). Significant positive correlation between the two measurements was found only near the fovea ($2^{\circ}$). Our study is the demonstration to show relationship between crowding and binocular rivalry.

Purpose: The present study aimed to investigate the effects of corneal eccentricity and shape on the rotational pattern of toric soft lens by the postural change of lens wearers. Methods: The corneal eccentricity of 41 eyes (aged 20s) having -1.0 D with-the-rule corneal astigmatism (WRCA) was measured, and then toric soft lenses were fitted with the amount of total astigmatism. In lying and straight postures, the rotation of toric soft lenses was recorded by a camera attached to slitlamp and analyzed. Results: Most toric soft lens designed with accelerated stabilization rotated to the temporal direction, which was the lying position direction, regardless of corneal eccentricity, and some lenses rotated to the nasal direction for high corneal eccentricity and corneal type of asymmetric bowtie. There was no correlation between the amount of rotation and corneal eccentricity right after of contact lens wearing in straight and lying posture, however, the amount of rotation was the greater for the cornea with the higher eccentricity after the subjects laying down for some period. The speed of lens rotation started to decrease after the subjects laying down, but the speed was not different according to corneal eccentricity difference. The amount of lens rotation for symmetric and asymmetric bowtie-typed corneas increased more than it for oval-typed cornea, and it was same even with time elapsing. The speed of lens rotation in lying posture was the slowest in asymmetric bowtie-typed cornea compared with other corneal types. Conclusions: From the present study, it was revealed that the rotational pattern of toric soft lens was affected by corneal eccentricity and corneal shape when the wearer's posture changed. Thus, it should be considered for the development of the fitting guideline and the design of toric soft lens.
