The aim of this study was to investigate level of understanding of symptoms appearing after wearing rigid gas permeable contact lens for optometrists, and if they were educated high about rigid gas permeable contact lens, they could increase the probability of wearing success of rigid gas permeable contact lens as dividing into an adaptative symptoms and an abnormal symptoms. For 96 optometrists a questionnaire about apparatuses, protocol and experience for prescription of rigid gas permeable contact lens and level of understanding of symptoms appearing after wearing rigid gas permeable contact lens was performed. Results showed that level of understanding of rigid gas permeable contact lens was very low, and education was performed for optometrists.

We analyzed aspheric patterns after we investigated zoom lens' constructions and optical capacities of a ordinary designed 35mm camera with an aspheric zoom lens system in this research. As this lens system was the zoom lens system about infinite object point, it was made to get a short back focal length, be able to use a lens unit more close to the image plane, and be used the compact camera which got a viewing system. The zoom ratio of the system was 1 : 2 and it got a positive and negative power's distribution. As it was determined the 35~70 mm focal length range which the most common people used, it might be called economic optical system considered universality. As it was used two aspheric surface, it was used just three lens, compensated the aberration and schemed lens' miniaturization, lightweightization, and the decrease effect of the unit cost of production.

The study investigated the effects of base curve radius art the fit of thin, mid-water contact lenses. It was found that central corneal curvature(as measured with the keratometer) was not predictive of the best fitting base curve. Proper lens fit may be the single most important factor that ultimately determines the success of contact lens wear. Comfort, vision, and physiological response are all dependent on the fit of the lens. The percent of optimal fits was highest with the 8.4 mm base curve lens for all three ranges of keratometry values. When fit with the 8.4 mm lens. For most eyes, fitting a flatter lens led to greater decentration, decreased comfort, and no increase in lens movement. The 8.4 mm lens was found to provide on "optimal" fit in over 60% of eyes tested and a fit of "good" or "better" in nearly 90% of eyes tested. Comparisons of different manufactures' lens found that similiar lenses do not always fit in the same way due to subtle design and production differences. Therefore, different products may require different base curve radii to fit the same patient. This is even true when water content, center thickness, and diameter are approximately the same. A praditioner fitting a new patient in this lenses should begin with the 8.4 mm base curve radius.

A tear lens formed by between back surface of spherical rigid gas permeable(RGP) contact lens and front surface of cornea shows an excellent correction effect of astigmatism. To study an effects of tear lens power using spherical RGP lens and therefore to utilize them in clinical procedures, we analyze a change of the total astigmatism, the cornea astigmatism, and the residual astigmatism, we derive the following conclusion. 1. Almost all refractive astigmatism below than 2.00D present fully corrected. Thereby resulting good visual acuity. Refractive astigmatism higher than 2.50D show under-corrected and apparent decrease of visual acuity if it is higher than 3.00D. 2. Amount of corneal astigmatism below than 2.50D show acceptable under-corrected while higher than 3.000 present unacceptable visual acuity. 3. An estimated residual astigmatism is not revealed as it is : but it is reduced when it incorporate to refractive astigmatism.

The purposes of this study is examining a wearing tendency of a progressive multifocal lens. We measured refractive error values using subjective and objective refraction method with subjects in 40-65 ages. Also, we investigated and analyzed distribution of addition power and wearing tendency of progressive multifocal lens. Detected addition powers were ranged of +0.75D - +3.00D. In case of average addition, they were detected with +1.18D in 40's, +1.55D - +1.97D in 50's and +2.38D in above 61's age. The distributions of visual ability at a distant were measured that the hyperopia and hyperopic astigmatism 43%, the myopia and myopic astigmatism characteristic astigmatism 7% appeared highly with 36%. The male who uses the interior aspect multi focal lens with the short-range work were appeared the male 20%, the woman 19%.

Lens centration was the fitting variable that was most dependent on base curve radius. Flatter lenses tended to decenter more. A flatter contact lens will likely have to move into the periphery to reach this point of stability. In most cases, the decentration was in the superior and/or temporal direction. It was also found that comfort complains were more common with flatter lenses. The optimal fits was highest with the 8.4mm base curve lens for all three ranges fit eyes decreased as base curve radius was increased. These lenses with steeper radii lead to better centration and therefore to better fit and comfort for more patients than do thin lenses with flatter radii.

After we compared the corrected len3 and the dominant eye who were wearing eyeglasses, elementary school in Iksan, we could get conclusions like these. 51 persons of the whole number, 65.4%, have the dominant eye of right. The refractive correlation to the spherical lens and astigmatic lens are the high non-dominant eye.

Purpose: Current gas-mask is very uncomfortable structure for spectacles wearer. Improving this problem can aid military men and firemen to protect themselves and rescue other person. Methods: we changed the structure from dual type of outward lens and inward lens into a single type structure. we attached acrylic frame to gas-mask instead of outward lens and protected the gas inflow by shutting the gab of lens and frame using silicon shield, and made the frame "S" style for removing astigmatism and maintaining of vertex distance. Results: It was possible to correct visual acuity and gas shield, and could changed the lens like a common spectacles. The new type of gas-mask spectacles could remove 0.53D~1.78D astigmatism occurred from the slant of eyesight and lens surface, 0.07D~0.66D overcorrection occurred from short vertex distance, and 0.1D~0.3D astigmatism occurred from pantoscopic angle. Conclusion: Because new type of gas-mask spectacles had clear visual field, it was expected to improve fighting power and rescue ability.

This study was designed to demonstrate the ability of Texas Eye Research and Technology Center Dry Eye Questionaire (TERTC-DEQ) to examine the distribution of self-reported dry eye symptoms and their diurnal intensity in university students and compare it with McMonnies & Ho DEQ. Two dry eye questionnaires were administered to 46 contact lens wearers and 47 nonwearers. Contact lens wearers scored higher on the TERTC-DEQ (52.2%) than McMonnies & Ho DEQ (6.5%). Non-contact lens wearers also scored higher on the TERTC-DEQ (19.1%) than McMonnies & Ho DEQ (2.1%). Ocular symptoms worsened with progression of time of day in both groups of subjects. This study suggests that TERTC-DEQ provides a first-choice diagnosis tool to obtain a comprehensive assessment of patient's symptoms, especially in comparison with McMonnies & Ho DEQ. The TERTC-DEQ is an efficient screening survey and may be use in dry eye diagnosis of contact lens-related dry eye.

While SVD and Gaussian elimination method were applied to the additive damped least squares(DLS), the convergence and the stability of the optimization process were examined in a triplet-type camera lens-system where the condition number is well conditioned. DLS with SVD method generated a suitable merit function but this merit function may be trapped in a local minimum by the nonlinearity of error function. Therefore, the least camera lens-system was further designed by the global optimization method is grid method, and this method is adopted to get merit function that convergent to global minimum without local minimum trapping.
