White light MTF(Modulation Transter Function)s of biconvex trial lenses from 10 to 20 diopter (D) were represented as a function of angular frequency and visual acuity, and then they were compared with AIM(Aerial Image Modulation) curves. All of the biconvex trial lenses evaluated in on-axis mode had MTF performance that could resolve Landolt's ring up to visual acuity 2.0. However, in a half field angle of five degrees, the trial lens of 10 diopters was able to resolve Landolt's ring up to visual acuity 0.9, and that of 20 diopter only up to visual acuity 0.8. This means that the trial lenses in the case of a half field angle of five degrees do not have sufficient resolution to measure visual acuity by 1.0.

When make most products, the standard is made by standard of the young. These are not proper standards for making the supplies for seniors. To adapt the standards of the aged, it is necessary to construct the database which is based on the survey for producing supplies for seniors. In this study, wish to measure life eyesight and ability by color-distinguish that use Flash because uses LandoltC ring and dark adaptation that use contrast and glare to construct sight function measurement system doing to elderly, and construct database because uses measured data.

In testing visual acuity of kindergarten's children, single Landolt's ring in chart projector was used under proper intensity of illumination. According to the result of 218 eyes' test, 0.6 V.A. forms 8.5 % at the age of 3, 0.7 V.A. forms 84.7 % at the age of 4, and 1.0 V.A. forms 6.8 % at the age of 5. However, children's visual acuity has been gradually developed with their growth. None of emmetropia can be found through the test. All of the children have ametropic eyes.

Recently, they are interested in the relation between night's vehicle accidents of drivers and the dynamic visual acuity at home and aboard. So, in this research, we tried to design an optical system of the inspection equipment to measure the dynamic visual acuity. A optotype standard did to Landolt's ring with 45mm of diameter and 9mm of gap to maintain the visual acuity of 1.0 in the 30m distance. An optical structure of the inspection equipment was composed of the sequence of an observer, a plus refraction lens system, a minus refraction lens system, and an optotype that was arranged to have characteristics that the size of the first virtual image of the optotype made by the minus refraction lens system grows bigger gradually according to the optotype movement to near distance from far distance, and also the first virtual image moves to the principle plane from the focal point of the plus refraction lens system as the size of the first virtual image arranged to the inside of focal distance of plus refraction lens system grows bigger gradually. As doing these processes, we completed the optical system of which characteristic is that the position of the final second virtual image moves to 3m from 50m as the size of the second virtual image made by the plus refraction lens system maintains to be regular.

Purpose: We were aim to investigate individual difference of visual acuity (VA) decrease and the change of contrast threshold (CT) according to the level of optically induced retinal defocus. Methods: A total of 69 eyes were examined using consist of ten-graded decimal vision chart (Landolt's ring). After conducted full correction of subject's refractive error, a monocular VA and CT were measured according to sequential increase by 0.25 D each time. Results: VA gradually decreased according to the increase of retinal defocus level. Individual difference of VA decrease was range from 1.2 to 0.6 in retinal defocus induced by +0.25 D. When retinal defocus was induced as much as +0.50 D and +0.75 D, it was in the range of 1.0 to 0.3 and 0.9 to 0.1 respectively. With +1.00 D, some participants didn't even recognize the 0.1 in the chart. With +1.75 D, whole participant did not recognize the 0.1. Also, CT was gradually decreased with increase of the retinal defocus level. Conclusions: Examiners should consider individual difference in the decrease of VA according to the level of residual refractive error when determining final prescription of a patient.
