In order to investigate the structure and dynamics of atatic poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/water system, laser light scattering experiment has been done in the semi-dilute concentration regime at $25^{\circ}C$. The scattering intensity I(q) can be analyzed with the fractal equation of $I(q){\sim}q^{-m}$ instead of Onstein-Zernike type equation. The fractal dimensionality m was found to be constant after reaching the plateau value of $m=2.6{\pm}0.3$ above C=3wt%. The time correlation function of dynamic light scattering has always two different modes such as fast mode and slow one. The cooperative diffusion of fast mode showed concentration independence contrary 4o the reptation theory's concentration dependent exponent of 3/4. The slow mode can be interpreted as the motion of large scale heterogeneities and its strong concentration dependence is apparent with a large negative exponent of -3.0. It is considered that the stereo-regular arrangement with four successive meso units of -OH plays as a key role in forming such heterogeneity.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to compare total high order aberrations between surgery which uses TransPRK and general laser assisted sub-epithelial keratomileusis. Methods: The patients who had general laser assisted sub-epithelial and TransPRK laser assisted sub-epithelial by visiting ophthalmic clinic in Ulsan from January 2014 to August 2014 was researched. Results: When comparing total high order aberrations before and after operation, it was found that total high order aberration in general laser assisted sub-epithelial group increased to $0.222{\pm}0.078{\mu}m$ from $0.074{\pm}0.019{\mu}m$ while that in TransPRK assisted sub-epithelial group increased to $0.179{\pm}0.045{\mu}m$ from $0.076{\pm}0.032{\mu}m$. When comparing the increment in total high order aberrations between two groups after surgery, it was found that the increments of TransPRK assisted sub-epithelial group were statistically smaller than that of general laser assisted sub-epithelial group (p<0.05). Conclusions: This study made a comparative analysis of total high order aberrations between general laser assisted sub-epithelial and TransPRK assisted sub-epithelial which was introduced recently and the result showed a significant difference. The findings of this study suggest that TransPRK assisted sub-epithelial can be used widely in simply improving eye sight and quality of vision by reducing an increase in high order aberration caused by orthokeratology surgery. It is expected that TransPRK assisted sub-epithelial will be helpful for improving the understanding quality of eye sight which occurs by several methods of vision correction surgery.
