This study examined prevailing parents' knowledge of eye health for young children. 139 mothers responded to a questionnaire developed by the researchers. Mothers had general eye health knowledges regardless of their age, education level, and job, but they had less knowledges about children's eye health in some items. Therefore there is a need to develop education programs and materials for eye health as well as a need to provided for young children's parents.

Purpose. To analysis the refractive error in 7-9 year-old Korea children. Methods. From July 2013 to June 2014, two hundred eighty two subjects were performed in refraction test using the Auto-Refractometry. Results. The refractive error by spherical equivalent among all subjects was myopia 47.58%, emmetropia 42.35%, astigmatism 32.33%, and hyperopia 8.76%. Myopia was more common in female than males although the difference was not statically significant. The axis of astigmatism was with the rule in 65%, against the rule in 31.5%, and oblique in 3.5% There was a statistical significance between 7 year and 9 year of male in the spherical equivalent power(p=0.010). Also there was a statistical significance between 7 years and 9 years of female in the spherical equivalent power(p=0.036). However, there was not a statistical significance between male and female in spherical equivalent power(p>0.5). Conclusions. In this study, myopia was the most common refractive error. On the other hand, The prevalence of the axis of astigmatism was the with- the- rule. The spherical equivalent of refractive error was similar results between male and female. However The refractive error was different style with aging. these data suggested that the analysis of the refractive error at young children can provide the information of useful diagnosis for the correction of visual acuity.

조절반응의 평가는 옵토메트리 검사의 중요한 일부분이다. 본 연구는 조절반응의 타각적인 검사방법인 자동굴절계와 MEM 검영법 및 Nott 동적검영법으로 측정한 검사결과의 상관성과 차이를 비교하고자 하였다. 본 연구의 취지에 동의하는 19~29사이(평균나이 22.22${\pm}$2.43세)의 정상시력을 가진 27명의 대학생을 선정하여 4D(25cm)의 조절자극이 주어진 상태에서 자동굴절계(Shin-Nippon NVision-K 5001)와 MEM 검영법 및 Nott 동적검영법을 실시하여 조절 반응을 측정하였다. 4D의 조절자극에 대한 조절반응은 자동굴절계(Shin-Nippon NVision-K 5001) 3.70${\pm}$0.25D, MEM 검영법 3.58${\pm}$0.30D 그리고 Nott 동적검영법 3.77${\pm}$0.29D로 각각 측정되었다. 3가지 검사는 상호간에 높은 상관성이 있었다(p<0.05). MEM 검영법은 Nott 동적검영법보다 0.19${\pm}$0.13D 더 낮게 측정되었고(p<0.05), 자동굴절계(Shin-Nippon NVision-K 5001) 보다 0.12${\pm}$0.24D 더 낮게 측정되었다(p<0.05). Nott 동적검영법과 자동굴절계(Shin-Nippon NVision-K 5001)로 측정한 값은 유의한 차이가 없었다(p>0.05). MEM 검영법으로 측정한 조절반응은 Nott 동적검영법이나 자동굴절계로 측정한 값보다 더 낮았다. 저자는 조절반응을 평가할 때, MEM 검영법을 제외한 Nott 동적검영법과 자동굴절계(Shin-Nippon NVision-K 5001)는 상호 대체하여 사용할 수 있다고 주장한다.

In order to examine whether the accommodative trainings with push-up or flipper methods induce the decrement of near addition on early presbyopia aged in 40s having less than 1.00 D addition, daily home vision training was performed for 12 weeks. We evaluated accommodative amplitude, accommodative facility, relative accommodation, and presbyopic addition at every one week. Two accommodative trainings significantly decreased the presbyopic addition as a degree from 0.125 D to 0.375 D, and push-up training was more effective than that of flipper training. Both push-up and flipper trainings are an useful methods to decrease the near addition of early presbyopia as an improvement of the accommodative amplitude.

The catalytic dehydrocoupling of bis(1-sila-3-butyl)benzene 1 and 2-phenyl-1,3-disilapropane 2 by $Cp_2ZrCl_2$/Red-Al and $Cp_2ZrCl_2$/n-BuLi was reported to compare their catalytic efficiency. The dehydrocoupling of monomeric silanes 1 with the $Cp_2ZrCl_2$/Red-Al and $Cp_2ZrCl_2$/n-BuLi combination catalysts produced two phases of polymers: one is a highly cross-linked insoluble solid, and the other is noncross-linked or slightly cross-linked soluble oil and could be a precursor for the solid polymer. The dehydrocoupling of 2 with the $Cp_2ZrCl_2$/n-BuLi combination catalyst similarly produced two phases of polymers. By contrast, the catalytic reaction of 2 with the $Cp_2ZrCl_2$/Red-Al combination catalyst produced a soluble polymer via redistribution/dehydrocoupling process.

The fluorescence of norfloxacin was quenched by various nucleotides. The ratio of the fluorescence intensities in the absence and presence of nucleotide was linearly dependent on nucleotide concentration, suggesting that quenching occurred through the formation of nonfluorescent norfloxacin-nucleotide complexes. The gradient of the linear relationship represented the equilibrium constant of complex formation; it decreased with increasing temperature. The slopes of van't Hoff plots constructed from the temperature-dependent equilibrium constants were positive in all cases, indicating that complex formation was energetically favorable - i.e., exothermic, with negative Gibb's free energy. The equilibrium constant increased when triphosphate was used instead of monophosphate. It also increased when the oxygen at the $C'_2$ position of the nucleotide was removed. Both enhancements were due to entropic effects: entropy decreased when complexes with AMP or GMP formed, while it increased when norfloxacin complexed with ATP, GTP, dAMP and dGMP.

Objectives: This study was conducted to show the intraocular pressure (IOP) distribution and the factors affecting IOP in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) in India. Methods: We measured the anthropometric and biochemical parameters for confirmed type 2 DM patients. A comprehensive ocular examination was performed for 1377 subjects aged > 40 years and residing in Chennai. Results: A significant difference in IOP (mean ${\pm}$ standard deviation) was found between men and women ($14.6{\pm}2.9$ and $15.0{\pm}2.8$ mmHg, p = 0.005). A significantly elevated IOP was observed among smokers, subjects with systemic hypertension and women with clinically significant macular edema (CSME). After a univariate analysis, factors associated significantly with higher IOP were elevated systolic blood pressure, elevated resting pulse rate and thicker central corneal thickness (CCT). In women, elevated glycosylated hemoglobin was associated with a higher IOP. After adjusting for all variables, the elevated resting pulse rate and CCT were found to be associated with a higher IOP. Conclusions: Systemic hypertension, smoking, pulse rate and CCT were associated with elevated intraocular pressure in type 2 DM. Women with type 2 DM, especially those with CSME, were more prone to have an elevated IOP.

Purpose. This study was to investigate the relationship between the palpebral fissure size and the exophthalmos in a population of Korean adult women subjects with normal eye status. Methods. From November 2012 to September 2013, The authors analyzed the morphological values in 73 Korean adults population. The test was performed using the Hertel exophthalmometer and verner califer. Analysis of subjects data were recorded using the spss version 20.0 a statistical program (IBM Co, Armonk, NY USA). Results. The average age of the 73 subjects (146 eyes) was (21.219+/-0.261)mm. the average value of palpebral fissure was (25.110+/-1.646)mm in width and (8.096+/-1.464)mm in height. The average value of exophthalmos was (15.002+/-1.922)mm. There was a significant relationship(P>0.05) in the average size between the width and height in palpebral fissure. Also, there was a significant relationship(P>0.05) in the average size between the palpebral fissure width and exophthalmos. On the other hand, there was a significant relationship(P>0.01) in the average size of palpebral fissure height and exophthalmos. Conclusions: In this study, these results suggested that the palpebral fissure and exophthalmos had a significant relationship in the average value of size in Korean adult women population.

Purpose: To investigate the corneal thickness and anterior chamber depth (ACD) of eyes with Keratoconus in the Korean population with the Pentacam. Methods: The subjects consisted of 84 eyes from Keratoconic adults aged 7-59 years during 2010. The thinnest area, apex zone, and pupil centre of the corneal thickness were measured using the Pentacam pachymetry. ACD value was also measured with Pentacam. Results: There was a statistically significant relationship between thickness of the cornea at the apex area and the pupil centre (p=0.0001). However, there was no statistical difference (p>0.5) in the mean thickness of thinnest area, apex zone, pupil centre of cornea between right eye and left eye. Also, correlation between ACD and corneal thickness in all subjects had no statistical differences (p>0.05) in all subjects. Conclusion: These results suggested that the regional thickness of cornea and ACD with Pentacam can provide correct and useful diagnostic information of the morphology of Keratoconus for the RGP contact lens and diagnosis of abnormal corneal refraction surgery.
