Purpose: The purposes of this study are to investigate accommodative response among emmetropes, spectacle wearer and contact lens wearer, and correlation between refractive error and accommodative respons for each group. Methods: The 72 subjects(144 eyes) who do not have any ocular diseases were participate in this study. Subjects were categorized into emmetropes, spectacle wearer and contact lens wearer by refractive error using closed-field auto-refractometer. We measured dominant eye, naked/habitual visual acuity and refractive error of monocular/binocular vision of refractive error for far/near distance with open-field auto-refractometer and calculated accommodative lag. Results: There were no significant difference of accommodative lag between right and left eye dominant and non-dominant eye, monocular and binocular vision, and spectacle lens wearer and contact lens wearer, However the accommodative lag of binocular vision was severe than monocular vision at near. The lag of myopia was larger than emmetropes, and male was larger than female. Significant correlation was found between refractive error and accommodative lag in total subjects and the same result was found in emmetropes and contact lens wearer. However there were no significant correlation in the spectacle wearer. Conclusions: There were significant difference between emmetrops and myopes in terms of accommodative lag, however accommodative lag of spectacle wearer was not different with contact lens wearer in myopes. There were also significant correlation between refractive error and accommodative lag in emmetropes and contact lens wearer, but the accommodative lag of spectacle wearer was not significantly correlated with refractive error.

Purpose: We were to obtain the basic data for studying kinetic visual acuity through the comparative analysis in kinetic visual acuity, visual acuity, refractive error, pupil size, and hand reaction time for college students. Methods: We had tested the kinetic visual acuity, visual acuity, refractive error and hand reaction time using the kinetic visual acuity tester (KOWA AS-4A), the hand reaction time program and auto-refractometer for thirty-nine male and same female optometry students with more than +0.1 LogMAR visual acuity in both eyes. And the results were examined gender differences of kinetic visual acuity and the factors correlation. Results: In the measured values of male, pupil size were 6.00 mm, hand reaction time 0.23 msec, refractive error -1.66 D, visual acuity -0.07, kinetic visual acuity 0.59 and pupil size 5.86 mm, hand reaction time 0.24 msec, refractive error -2.08 D, visual acuity -0.02, kinetic visual acuity 0.46 in female. It was significant difference for kinetic visual acuity values but other factors were not. The kinetic visual acuity and left visual acuity had the highest correlation, r=-0.406. The kinetic visual acuity indicated more excellent values in the case of increasing visual acuity and decreasing myopia amount. Conclusions: It was able to see that male college students were better than female for kinetic visual acuity and the visual acuity were related to kinetic visual acuity.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of a VR (Virtual Refractor), which is a simulator for a PR (Practical Refraction), as an educational tool. Methods: Twenty four third year students enrolled in the department of visual optics volunteered for VR education. Each student attended a VR training course and practiced with the VR by themselves. One month later, each student tested three virtual subjects on the VR and one real subject on the PR and were given a performance score for each refraction. And the scores for the virtual and practical refractions were compared. In addition, a self-report questionnaire based on a five point Likert-scale was designed, consisting of domains such as spontaneous participation, contribution for the refraction, confirmity of the VR and PR, and necessity of the VR. Results: The Spearman's correlation coefficient between the testing score of the practical and virtual refractions indicated a significantly correlation (R=0.71, p<0.001). In the questionnaire, the mean score of the domains was 3.67${\pm}$0.96 and it indicated that students expressed that using the VR was beneficial. The correlation value among these domains was a high significant level, 0.91~0.68 (p<0.001). Conclusions: Although the VR required certain improvements in its concentration and systematic approaches for practical situations, it showed a high correlation between the VR and the PR and represented a positive evaluation in the PR.

We investigated refractive errors and corneal power with 3 factors such as M, $J_0$, and $J_{45}$ as power vector to find out the changes of refractive errors of the before and after cataract surgery in 119 adults aged 45~85 years with cataract. After the surgery, the 3 factors were changed as $-0.29{\pm}2.38D$ to $-0.18{\pm}0.69D$ in spherical equivalent power which is the M factor, $-0.34{\pm}0.68D$ to $-0.05{\pm}0.42D$ in the $J_0$ factor, and $0.11{\pm}0.45$ to $0.02{\pm}0.17$ in the $J_{45}$ factor. Before and after the surgery, corneal mean refractive power, $J_0$, and $J_{45}$ were changed from $44.11{\pm}1.61D$ to $44.20{\pm}1.58D$, $0.01{\pm}0.50D$ to $0.08{\pm}0.49D$, and $0.02{\pm}0.29$ to $0.08{\pm}0.49$, respectively. The results showed that $J_0$ was the highest relativeness in correlation of the pre- and post-surgery for refractive errors, mean corneal power was the highest correlation for corneal power factor, and corneal power factor was the higher correlation much more than refractive error factor.

$CdIn_2S_4 and CdIn_2S_4 : Co^{2+}$ singlecrystals of thenormal spinel structure were grown by the C.T.R. method. The optical energy band structure of these compounds had a indirect band gap at the fundamental optical absorption band edge. The direct and the indirect energy gaps are found to be 2.325 and2.179eV for $Cdln_2S_4$ , and 2.303 and 2.169eV for $CdIn_2S_4 and CdIn_2S_4 : Co^{2+}$ at 5K, respectivly. The fundamental absorption band edge of these single crystals shift to a shorter wavelength region with decreasing temperature, and the temperature dependence of the optical energy gaps in these compounds satisfy Varshni equation. The Varshni constants$\alpha and \beta$ of the direct energy gap are given by $13.39{\times}10_{-4}eV/K$ and 509 K for $Cdln_2S_4$ and $29.73{\times}10_{-4} eV/K$ and 1398K for $CdIn_2S_4 and CdIn_2S_4 : Co^{2+}$. The Varshni constants ${\alpha}and {\beta}$ of the indirect energy gap are given by 9.68${\times}10^{-4}$ eV/K 308K for $Cdln_2S_4$ and $13.33{\times}10_{-4}eV/K$ and 440K for $CdIn_2S_4 : Co^{2+}$ respectivly. The impurity optical absorption peaks due to cobalt dopant are observed in $CdIn_2S_4 : Co^{2+}$ single crystal. These impurity optical absorption peaks can be attributed to the electronic transitions between the split energy levels of $Co_{2+}$ ions located at $T_d$ symmetry site of $Cdln_2S_4$ host lattece.
