Purpose: The purpose of this study was an accurate grasp of the astigmatic change due to eyes accommodation on near vision and suggested problems occurring accommodative astigmatism using near glasses. Methods: 154 subjects(308eyes) from 20 to 40 years selected for this study who had many opportunity of near vision. First, far vision corrective refraction measured using the phoropter, and then both eyes opened simultaneously for maintaining the function of binocular put away dot chart 40 cm. One eye was fogging and the other eye measured near vision astigmatism axis and degrees astigmatism using cross cylinder, and then compared with far astigmatism. Results: Increased degree of astigmatism persons on near vision more than decreased or did not changed degree of astigmatism persons, which could affect visual acuity more than 0.75 diopters in 30 eyes with an increase of 9.7% of total subjects. Direct astigmatism and oblique astigmatism were increased on near vision. Astigmatic axes were rotated base in direction on both eyes and 66.9% of subjects were more than ${\pm}$5$^{\circ}$ rotation. Due to the rotation axis of astigmatism, residual astigmatism is expected to occur and expect to adversely affect the eyes. Conclusions: Long-term using the glasses without correction of increased astigmatic and rotated axis on near vision should occur new residual astigmatism and increase the asthenopia also. Considered to be taken astigmatic change on near vision during near refraction examination.

Purpose: To develop a program for analyzing the condition of implanted ICL lenses in case the residual astigmatism appears after the implantation. Methods: From analyzing the measured residual astigmatism after operating ICL lens, we could induce formulas that produce the rotating angle and the corresponding MR prescription of the implanted ICL lens. Using the Delphi 6.0 language, we could develop a program by which we conveniently confirm, in the window screen visually, the rotating angle and the corresponding MR prescription of the implanted ICL lens calculated by these formulas. Results: We induced formulas that produce the rotating angle and the corresponding MR prescription of the implanted ICL lens by analyzing the measured residual astigmatism after operating ICL lens and developed a program which can analyze the condition of the implanted ICL lens. By this program we could easily analyze the condition of the implanted ICL lens. Conclusions: Judging from the results of applying this program to many clinical cases, we could conclude that this program is very effective in analyzing the condition of implanted ICL lenses.

When we wear contact lenses for correcting astigmatism, we often experience the axis-rotation of contact lenses that is happened in case we could not fit the axis of lens exactly or by the eyelid used to blink. In this case, because the exact correcting state becomes in the wrongly correcting state, the asthenopia is led, and the decline of eyesight can be led. For this reason, we need to know axis-rotating degrees of contact lenses. If a contact lens rotated, a residual astigmatism may be detected in the refraction examination after wearing. Using this, we developed a program that calculates the axis-rotating amount of contact lenses.

We performed refraction, keratometry, slit lamp biomicroscopy. We selected 58 current spherical RGP lens wearers for this three-month study. All patients exhibits at least 0.75D of corneal astigmatism measured with the keratometer, and 37 patients had corneal astigmatism of 1.50D or greater. At least follow-up visit, we measured Snellen acuity with lenses, and performed overrefraction, overkeratometry and slit lamp biomicroscopy. We charted lens position, movement and surface quality. During the three month, biomicroscopy revealed no corneal edema and neovascularization on any patients. Fluorescein staining were 52 patients case of grade 0.5 patients case of grade 1, and 1 patient case of grade 2. In evaluating post-fit residual cylinder, on overrefraction as a percentage of refractive cylinder. By the initial visit, one-week visit, one-month visit, and two-month visit are 41%, 34%, 29%, respectively. In this data, we knew no change after one month. The average overrefraction for these eyes in absolute diopters is 0.26D(initial visit), 0.22D(one-week visit, 0.17D(one-month visit), and 0.16D(two-month visit). The use of a regimen containing a dedicated daily cleaner was more effective in maintaining patient comfort and lens cleanliness than was the use of a regimen containing only a multipurpose solution.
