We evaluated the contour using corneal asphericity of the myopic cornea in Korea and investigated the relationship between refractive error and other ocular dimensions in Korean myopia, including anterior chamber depth and asphericity. The monoocular asphericity value of 50 myopes with $-4.83{\pm}2.38$ D between early 20 age and early 30 age in adult was included. Cycloplegic refraction, corneal asphericity and anterior chamber depth using corneal topography were examined. The mean asphericity values were$-0.27{\pm}0.13$ and the corneas of 96.0% were prolate ellipse. Refractive error was related to asphericity and anterior chamber depth among myopes. However, asphericity only were significant difference in high and low myopia group. Corneal configuration on the contact lens fits are discussed. We think that the longitudinal study for myopia and asphericity was required.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the changes of asphericity according to diameter and direction of the cornea. Methods: The changes of asphericity according to diameter and direction of cornea is measured by using Pentacam(Oculus Co., Germany), as targeting 57 adults (average $27.0{\pm}4.8$, 20 men, 37 women) without any ophthalmic diseases, which may be effective in eyesight, and refractive surgery. Results: As diameter increases in every direction based on the corneal vertex, asphericity has attentively increased (p<0.05), and the size of asphericity in each direction from every measured diameter showed as superior > nasal > inferior > temporal. In group comparison by nearsightness and astigmatism level, asphericity measured high when nearsightness and astigmatism levels were higher, and this appears to be statistically attentive.(p<0.05). Conclusions: Asphericity of cornea significantly increased according to increase of diameter of cornea, and as measured figure or increased quantity appeared differently in all directions based on corneal vertex, so it helps to understand shape of cornea, and considered that is the part to be considered during manufacturing and fitting of RGP lenses.

We have investigated the variation of spherical aberration of the anterior and posterior surface in a Korean sample population with various age between 20 to 71 years old. We used Pentacam (Oculus Inc., Germany) to measure the corneal radius, asphericity, and spherical aberration of 290 patients with normal cornea. There were negative correlation between corneal anterior radius and spherical aberration(r = -0.22, p<0.0001), and, there were negative correlation between corneal posterior radius and spherical aberration(r=-0.27, p < 0.0001). There were positive correlation between anterior asphericity and spherical aberration(r = 0.24, p < 0.0001), however there were negative correlation between posterior asphericity and spherical aberration(r = -0.17, p=0.00288).The average of anterior spherical aberration and posterior spherical aberration was $0.482{\pm}0.099{\mu}m$ and $-0.098{\pm}0.029{\mu}m$. The average of spherical aberration was $0.385{\pm}0.097{\mu}m$. There were significant positive correlations between anterior spherical aberration and age(r = 0.227, p<0.0001), and there were positive correlations between posterior aberration and age(r = 0.349, p<0.0001). It is considered that this data can be used as basic information for furture studies for improving the quality of vision of modern human and, through the analysis of the spherical aberration of cornea was to provide a better understanding of the optical part of the Korean's eye.

For the studying of the optical property of the human eye by using the Seidel aberrations with schematic eyes, we have used the several paraxial and fine schematic eyes. In another world, after fixing the iris ot aperture pinhole on the anterior of lens, we investigated how the surface contributions and the surface asphericity affected the optical properties of schematic eyes by using the Seidel aberration coefficients variation. Also, by analysis of dividing both a relaxed state and the accommodation state of the eye, we investigated the change of the optical properties during the change of accommodation.

In this paper, the performance of a system was analyzed according to the design parameters of a LED secondary lens that can be applied at a very close range, e.g., for direct lighting or display systems. We designed the secondary lens of the very-close-range LED using an aspheric equation and analyzed its performance-particularly the angle of the beam spread, central luminous intensity, and light uniformity-with respect to the thickness of lens, radius, conic constant, and asphericity (4th). Our analysis shows that four parameters affect the performance. The simulation results indicate an optimal thickness of 1 mm and show that a larger radius yields higher performance. The optimal range for the conic constant was determined as -1.21 to -1.25, the optimal range for the asphericity was determined as 0.0047xx to 0.0049xx (4th).

In this study, a new accommodation-dependent crystalline lens with a constant volume and homogeneous refractive index is developed. The human lens parameters, such as curvature and thickness, are calculated at the central parts of the lens, and the asphericity is adjusted at the peripheral parts of the lens due to accommodation. We propose a accommodating schematic eye which is suitable for easy paraxial calculations because the refractive index of the lens remains uniform and constant.

Purpose: To compare corneal asphericity, visual acuity (VA), and ocular and corneal higher-order aberrations (HOAs) between myopic refractive surgery and emmetropia groups. Methods: Twenty three subjects ($23.0{\pm}2.5$ years) who underwent myopic refractive surgery and twenty emmetropia ($21.0{\pm}206$ years) were enrolled. The subjects'criteria were best unaided monocular VA of 20/20 or better in both two groups. High and low contrast log MAR visual acuities were measured under photopic and mesopic conditions. Corneal and ocular HOAs were measured using Wavefront Analyzer (KR-1W, Topcon) for 4 mm and 6 mm pupils. Corneal asphericity was taken by topography in KR-1W. Results: There was no significant difference in VA between two groups under either photopic or mesopic conditions. In ocular aberrations, there were significant differences in total HOAs, fourthorder and spherical aberration (SA) for a 6 mm between two groups (p=0.045, p<0.001, and p<0.001, respectively). In corneal aberrations, there was a significant difference in SA for 4 mm (p=0.001) and 6 mm (p<0.001) pupils between two groups and there were statistically significant differences in total HOAs (p<0.001) and fourth-order aberrations (p<0.001) between two groups for a 6 mm pupil. There was a significant correlation in emmetropia between Q-value and SA in ocular aberrations for 4 mm and 6 mm pupils (r=0.442, p=0.004, and r=0.519, p<0.001) and in corneal aberrations for 4 mm and 6 mm pupils (r=0.358, p=0.023, and r=0.646, p<0.001). No significant correlations were found between Q-value and SA in refractive surgery group. Conclusions: VA in myopic refractive surgery is better than or similar to emmetropia. Nevertheless, the more increasing pupil size is, the more increasing aberrations are. Thus, it could have an influence on the quality of vision at night.

We present SCOTS test simulation for on axis segment of the GMT secondary mirror that is ellipsoidal shape surface of 1.064m in diameter, 4.166747m in radius of curvature, -0.7154 in conic constant and $18.023{\mu}m$ P-V in asphericity. SCOTS test comprises a screen(diffusing sinusoidal fringe source), test surface(GMT secondary mirror), and a camera(CCD detector). We report ray tracing simulation result that is distorted sinusoidal fringe pattern detected at the camera. This simulation is to be used for analysis of experimental design, sensitivity from uncertainty, errors on fabrication and design.

The motivation in this paper comes from the recent results about Bell inequalities and topological insulators from group theory. Symmetries which are interested in group theory could be mainly used to find material structures. In this point of views, we study group extending by adding one relator which is easily called an equation. So a relative group extension by a adding relator is aspherical if the natural injection is one-to-one and the group ring has no zero divisor. One of concepts of asphericity means that a new group by a adding relator is well extended. Also, we consider that several equations and relative presentations over torsion-free groups are related to zero divisors.
