As the results of phoria measurement of Korean adults for 106 males and 55 females, the elevens (6.8%) are orthophoria, the nineties (55.9%) are esophoria and the fifty fives (34.2%) are exophoria respectively. Also the thirty threes (20.4%) are right hyperphoria against the left eye and the thirty eights (23.6%) are left hyperphoria against the right eye. Horizontal phoria is below $10{\Delta}$ mostly and vertical phoria is below $5{\Delta}$.

We did the comparison research about three different methods of measuring horizontal phoria and vertical phoria which are Von Graefe test, Maddox Rod test and polarizing lens test. The inspection was don with the subjective method of refraction about normal 63 subjects aged from 20 to 28 years old. The analysis of date resulted in as follows : 1. Using Von Graefe Horizontal phoria Measurement, they were measured 5% for orthpharia, 51% for exophoria and 44% for esophoria. 2. Using Von Graefe vertical phoria Measurement, they were measured 68% for orthphoria, 20% for left hypophoria against the right and 12% for left hyperphoria against the right. 3. Using Maddox Rod Horizontal phoria Measurement, they were measured 7% for orthphoria, 49% for exophoria and 44% for esophoria. 4. Using Maddox Rod vertical phoria Measurement, they were measured 70% for orthphoria, 19% for left hypophoria against the right and 11% for left hyperphoria against the right. 5. Using Polarizing Horizontal phoria Measurement, they were measured 10% for orthphoria, 49% for exophoria and 41% for esophoria. 6. Using Polarizing vertical phoria Measurement, they were measured 92% for orthpharia, 5% for left hypophoria against the right and 3% for left hyperphoria against the right.

Screening of strabismus was followed in 1306 healthy elementary school students from 8 to 13 years old. The cover-uncover test with M1N GLASSES was used to screen strabismus for all of students and then we examined abnormal students by the prism cover test. Finally 16 students were strabismus. So the cover-uncover test with MIN GLASSES was a good method to screen strabismus because of easy and simple testing. The number of strabismus was 16 patients who consisted in from 10 to 13 years old, and girls(2.4%) was 3 times more than boys(0.9%). The type of 16 strabismus was only heterophoria which consisted in 8 patients of exophoria, 7 patients of esophoria and 1 patient of hyperphoria. So the rate of exophoria and esophoria was almost same. 3 patients was ametropic amblyopia by testing visual acuity, and all of patients were normal color vision by color testing.

This research was investigated to find out the examinees' refractive problems within heterophoria using Torrington method. The number of subjects ware approximately 327 and subjects were sourced from the 12th grade student at high school in Kwang-Ju city. Result obtained shows 21.4% of emmetropia and 78.6% of ametropia. Most of refractive errors were myopia and due to it's condition, frequency of ametropia and emmetropia at the similar rate. However, one that consist of refractive problems, it's myopia contains 74.9% of heterophoria. Due to emmetropia, horizontal heterophoria have 45.7% of exophoria and 4.3% of esophoria. Myopia shows 11.4% of esophoria and 63.5% of exophoria. Hozizonda heterophoria shows 5.7% of emmetropia and myopia of 22.4%, than average of esophoria shows $4.3P{\Delta}$ and case of myopia, it was $3.4P{\Delta}$. Case of Exphoria, emmetropia have $8.8P{\Delta}$ and within myopia $8.0P{\Delta}$. Vertical heterophoria owns $2.2P{\Delta}$ within emmetropia and case of myopia $4.3P{\Delta}$ was shown. Which shows myopia result value higher than emmetropia.
