Since 1989 the number of nationally licensed ophthalmic and refracting opticians in Korea have increased. Currently, they are being educated in four universities, twenty six colleges and three graduate programs. It is innevitable that the growth of optometric education in Korea will be progressively influnced by worldwide influnces such as the World Council of Optometry(WCO), the World Health Organization (WHO), and the World Trade Organization(WTO). However, currently no standards for optometric education exist in Korea. Thus, the Korean Professional Councils of Ophthalmic Optics(KPCOO) must develope and provide standards for optometric education programs.

In this paper, we took the clinical data of Korean eyes and designed the schematic eye with the same optical properties of the real eye. In the design process, we took the clinical emmetorpia data of young Korean adults collected in the past and analyzed to get a basic specification of the real eye for the design of schematic eye. The purpose of design was for the schematic eye to have the same optical properties of real eye in spherical aberration and astigmatism.

For this study we investigated situation of domestic standardization in contact lens field. The rate of contact lens wearing have increased lately, nevertheless Korean Industrial Standard just has been translated into the regulations of ISO(International Organization for Standardization), and it has been applied. Moreover there is not any the domestic original regulation yet. Therefor, for this study we investigated current situation of the ISO in contact lens field and fitness of standard in our present actual condition. Also, by grasping the problems which it follows.

The fine structure on the compound eye surface of 6 species belong to 6 genera of Asilinae in Korea was morphologically studied with a scanning electron microscope and image analyser. The compound eye was divided into 3 parts(medial, middle, and lateral) according to a difference in the diameter of a facet which was various form. The fine structure of a facet in Trichomachimus scutellaris(Coquillett) was valuable in taxonomy because it was differ from each species in Asilinae.

An analysis on the corneal diopter power and corneal radius has been carried out the Korean female in the twenties age. The results were as follows. The most contact lens wears have the early stage of the twenties age, but the increase of aging have a decrease. The mean corneal diopter power on the right eye have 44.04 diopter, but left eye have 43.92 diopter. The mean of corneal radius on the right eye have the 7.66 mm, but left eye have the 7.69 mm. As a results, In increasing of the age, Most mean corneal diopter power have increase, but the mean of corneal radius have not change.

This paper reviews the current status of ophthalmic education and legislation worldwide. The impact of the profession of optometry in providing eye and vision care in different regions of the world and strategic directions for optometry in Korea are discussed. The role of the World Council of Optometry in advancing the access and delivery of eye and Vision care is emphasized.

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 $5{\Delta}$.

Once refractive error of the eye was fully corrected. Polarization Test was used to investigate binocular vision function. As the results of phoria measurement of Korean adults for 53males and 59 females, orthophoria in 27.68%, esophoria in 12.50%, exophoria in 48.21%, verical phoria in 3.75%, esophoria(+verical phoria) in 2.68%, and exophoria(+vertical phoria) in 5.36%, respectively. Horizontal phoria is below $3{\Delta}$ mostly and verical phoria is below $1{\Delta}$.

Applying the computer interface cards installed to old-fashioned, used PENTIUM I for the basic optical experiment makes students to have more attention and interests in the experiment, and enhanced the accuracy of the optical experiment. When applied for the light diffraction experiment, the above way of results made the experiment more accurate comparing with those of other experiments operated in advance. In addition, they turned out to be as same as the data in theory. Applying the above way not only for the basic optical experiments to recycle old-fashioned PCs being abandoned but also for the automation of optical experiments in manual could enhance the efficiency of the experiment a lot.

A study on measurement of refractive power for eyesight by condition of opposite color, has been conducted. In the results of the test, it was observed that farsightedness has better lightness large range. However, in the case of chroma, we cannot distinguish tell the nearsightedness from the farsightedness. Generally, refractive power increased with the increase of large range was revealed. This method is better as compared with red-green test method.
