As a result of visual acuity test of school children, the visual acuity is better girls than and more elder than younger. The Hyperopia of the Above ten aged children is decreased in boys rather than girls and Especially for who have +0.75Dt and below. The visual acuity of Ampetropia is 0.77 in +0.75 Dt and belows, 0.50 in +1.00 Dt and 0.33 in 3.00 Dt. Myopia is increased as age. Possibility of having Myopia is bigger for females than for males. Especially the -0.15 Dt and below in males and from -1.000t Dt -1.75 Dt in Females are easy to have it. The Ampetropia of the visual acuity is 0.67 in -0.75Dt and below, 0.38 in -1.00Dt, 0,28 in -2.00Dt and 0.20 in -3.00 Dt.

Recently, silver has been applied to various fields due to antimicrobial property and high conductivity. We manufactured high-performance ophthalmic material containing silver which could protect eye from environmental factors. We mixed $AgNO_3$ with conventional contact lens material. And then we copolymerized at 70 ${^{\circ}C}$ for 40 minutes under water bath, and estimated antimicrobial activity and physical properties. We used solid culture and liquid culture medium for antimicrobial test. The results of contact lens containing silver showed good antibiosis. In case of physical properties, the results showed 32.35%(water content) and 88.34% (visible transmittance) for each. We judged that we made the copolymer with antimicrobial and physical properties which is suitable for conventional contact lens.

Objectives: This study was performed to check for reversibility in the changes induced by a 13-week, repeated, dose toxicity test of Sweet Bee Venom (SBV) in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. Methods: Fifteen male and 15 female SD rats were treated with 0.28 mg/kg of SBV (high-dosage group) and the same numbers of male and female SD rats were treated with 0.2 mL/kg of normal saline (control group) for 13 weeks. We selected five male and five female SD rats from the high-dosage group and the same numbers of male and female SD rats from the control group, and we observed these rats for four weeks. We conducted body-weight measurements, ophthalmic examinations, urinalyses and hematology, biochemistry, histology tests. Results: (1) Hyperemia and movement disorder were observed in the 13-week, repeated, dose toxicity test, but these symptoms were not observed during the recovery period. (2) The rats in the high-dose group showed no significant changes in weight compared to the control group. (3) No significant differences in the ophthalmic parameters, urine analyses, complete blood cell counts (CBCs), and biochemistry were observed among the recovery groups. (4) No changes in organ weights were observed during the recovery period. (5) Histological examination of the thigh muscle indicated cell infiltration, inflammation, degeneration, necrosis of muscle fiber, and fibrosis during the treatment period, but these changes were not observed during the recovery period. The fatty liver change that was observed during the toxicity test was not observed during the recovery period. No other organ abnormalities were observed. Conclusion: The changes that occurred during the 13-week, repeated, dose toxicity test are reversible, and SBV can be safely used as a treatment modality.

Purpose: In this work we suggested a grating chart of vision test which could be used to measure the sense of distance and motion of object. Methods: A couple of gratings with periodic structure were fabricated. Through a lens the grating images showing geometrical shapes were projected on a vision test chart in order to form a new grating chart of vision test. In rotating and translating the gratings the examinee perceived the variation of position of gratings by the variation of the sense of distance and motion. Results: The results of the sense of distance and motion measured in rotating and translating the gratings showed the average errors of ~2.98% and ~1.73% at $\theta=15^{\circ}$ respectively compared to calculated values. Conclusions: The grating chart of vision test suggested in this work can be used as a new test chart that lets an examinee perceive a sense of distance and motion of object.

Subjective and objective visions were measured on young adults(mean 21 yrs, 126 eyes) who were free of any ocular diseases and laser surgery and none wore contact lenses. The aim of this study was to investigate the diurnal variation of vision through subjective and objective measurements. Subjective visual acuity were measured at 5 m three times a day, morning(8:00 AM-10:00 AM), noon(12:00 PM-2:00 PM) and afternoon(4:00 PM-6:00 PM). The instrument used for objective refraction right after visual acuity measurement was Nvision-K 5001(shin-nippon) which unique in being able to disregard subject's accommodation because of its unrestricted viewing conditions. Also, we measured that three times and then calculated the average values. The result showed that an average subjective visual acuity in the morning, noon, afternoon were 0.256(${\pm}0.263$), 0.266(${\pm}0.276$), 0.242(${\pm}0.249$) respectively. Average spherical equivalent power in objective refraction of right eyes showed -3.416 D(${\pm}2.907$), -3.359 D(${\pm}2.735$), -3.297 D(${\pm}2.709$) respectively and dioptric power was decreased from morning to afternoon. Vision changed throughout the day in both subjective and objective measurements nevertheless its variations were statistically insignificant(p<0.05). Therefore it does not seem to matter of time for either visual acuity test or refraction.
