Thanks to mass production and provision of smartphones and the HMD (head mounted display), VR (virtual reality) is now being applied to various areas. The VR HMD is the interface equipment which allows users to have realistic experiences through human sensory organs such as vision and auditory sense. Since the majority of VR equipment is operated by the display for both eyes, 360-degree video content and the depth information, the VR mechanism is closely related to human senses, especially vision. Previous studies have focused on how to minimize negative impact such as motion sickness or visual fatigue. Little attention has been paid on research about the visual treatment. Therefore, the focus of this study is to develop technical elements for utilization of vision therapy with the VR HMD and explore possible areas to apply it. To this end, we analyzed the past case studies and technical elements to identify 16 areas for vision therapy. We also developed the optical parameters for utilization of the VR HMD visual targets. The result of this study is expected to be utilized for development of visual targets for vision therapy based on the VR HMD.

The purpose of this paper was to investigate the relationship between cybersickness symptoms and visual function and to determine whether visual perception training is effective in reducing symptoms of cybersickness. The study subjects were healthy adult males who experienced the same virtual reality program for 15 minutes. Afterwards, the VR satisfaction score and cybersickness level were measured and classified into a comfortable virtual reality program viewer group (CVR group, 20 people) and an uncomfortable virtual reality program viewer group (UVR group, 20 people). Visual function test was performed on all subjects, and the vision therapy training program was applied to the UVR group once a week for 40 minutes 12 times, and then the visual function and SSQ questionnaire were re-evaluated. Subjects with diplopia were 55% in the UVR group and 5% in the CVR group, which was significantly higher in the UVR group, there were differences in stereopsis, exophoria, near point convergence(p<.01) and vergence function(p<.001) between the two groups. After vision therapy, changes in SSQ, stereopsis, near point convergence, and vergence function of UVR user group were positively changed(p<.01). Therefore, cybersickness symptoms are related to visual function, it seems that the vision therapy can be used as a way to alleviate the symptoms of cybersickness.

Eye examination was performed for diagnosis accommodative and binocular dysfunction. The prevalence rates were similar to other studies, therefore patients required not just the correction of the refractive error but a specific treatment for each diagnosed problems. Two symptomatic(diplopia, asthenopia, and intermittent blur) patients diagnosed as a convergence insufficiency was given full correction with visual training for 4weeks. They had a one or mixed binocular problems included accommodative insufficiency. Following 4 weeks later, visual training was effective to Improve convergence and suggest that continuous observation is necessary.

Recently, VR HMD (virtual reality head mounted display) has been utilized for virtual training, entertainment, vision therapy, and optometry. In particular, virtual reality contents are increasingly used for vision therapy and optometry. Accordingly, high-quality virtual reality contents such as a natural vision of life is required. Therefore, it is necessary to study the content production according to the optical characteristics of the VR HMD. The purpose of this paper is to suggest a proper FOV (field of view) of contents according to the distortion rate. We produced virtual reality contents and obtained distorted images by virtual camera. The distortion rate is calculated by using the distorted image. It is proved that the optimal FOV of the VR content with the minimum distortion is $90{\sim}100^{\circ}$. The results of this study are expected to be applied to the production of high quality contents.

Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is considered an ophthalmologic emergency. The prognosis of this disease is very poor. Currently, there is no generally effective therapy available to treat CRAO. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) can increase the volume of oxygen delivered to the ischemic retinal tissue until spontaneous or assisted reperfusion occurs. We report the case of a patient who experienced sudden visual loss due to CRAO that was treated with HBOT. The patient was an 81-year-old woman who presented with CRAO in her right eye (OD). She exhibited "hand motion" visual acuity before treatment. She underwent three sessions of HBOT at a pressure of 2.8 atmospheres absolute, performed over 3 days. After 4 days in hospital, her visual acuity improved to 0.4 (OD) for far vision and 0.5 (OD) for near vision. Her vision was stable without the supply of oxygen; therefore, she was discharged.

Purpose: The purpose is to study the effects of the vision training, as a non-surgically treated vision therapy, on the objective and the subjective symptoms of the patients with intermittent exotropia combined with vertical deviation. Method: For the boys at the age of eight with intermittent exotropia, who report a long-distance blurred vision, dazzling, and intermittent diplopia more than ten times a day, the vision training had been practiced for seven weeks. The objective and subjective symptoms have been examined after six months from the end of the training. Results: The objective and the subjective symptoms have been improved after the seven weeks training and the improvements lasted after six months from the end of the treatment. Conclusion: Non-surgical treatment for the patients with intermittent exotropia, including intermittent exotropia combined with vertical deviation like this case, should be considered as an auxiliary treatment and on the preferential basis.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the disturbed vision on the gait distance parameters on the healthy young population. SUBJECTS. Twenty four healthy college aged individuals are randomly assigned to both a condition with a strobe light and the other condition without a strobe light. METHODS. The instrumentation used for gait analysis is the GaitRite electronic walkway system with a personal IBM computer. The examiner naked all the subjects to walk 6 times on the gait mat without the strobe light and. 6 times on the mat with the strobe light. The first 4 trials were practice and the last two trials were recorded in both conditions. The gait parameters analyzed were as follows : velocity, cadence, step length, and heel to heel base of support. RESULTS. Paired samples t-test used for this study did not found any significant differences between the two conditions because the p-values that were analyzed on the experiment were Utter than 0.05. The gait parameters that were analyzed included cadence, velocity, left and right heel to heel base of support, and left and right step length. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION. Based on this population, the condition of disturbed vision via the effect of the strobe light was not significantly challenging to compromise the body's sensory systems. However, in the elderly population, these systems can undergo age related changes. Visual changes rapidly decline in people 60 to 80 years of age and changes in the vestibular system include $20-40\%$ reduction in hair cells.
