According to Korean pharmaceutic law, spectacles is a kind of medical device or instrument that is composed of a front and two temples with a pair of lenses. If the spectacle is not worn, it is a kind of optical device, but if it were worn, it will makes a new optical system to correct ametropia. Therefore, spectacles must be carried on by dispensing opticians.

Purpose: This study was performed in order to figure out the influence of illumination on visual function. Methods: 40 adults (male 21, female 19) of average age $23.93{\pm}1.59$ years were participated in this study. The test chart surface illumination was adjusted to 5, 50, 200, 500 and 800 lx, and then amplitude of accommodation, near point of convergence, far and near distance phoria, far and near distance fusional vergence, relative accommodation, and accommodation lag were measured at each illumination condition. Results: As illumination intensity of test chart was reduced, amplitude of accommodation was significantly decreased (p<0.05), accommodation lag was also decreased, near point of convergence was receded, and horizontal phoria showed a tendency of esodeviation. In the case of negative fusional vergence, with reduction of illumination intensity, the break point and the recovery point were decreased but in the case of positive fusional vergence, the break point was increased. The negative and positive relative accommodation were significantly decreased (p<0.05) with reduction of illumination intensity. Conclusions: In clinical practice, visual functional test should be performed under condition of adequate illumination level through patient's living environment and job.

Purpose : This study investigated the visual functions of drivers aged over 65 year olds and drivers aged 50~65 year olds. In addition, difference of visual functions between professional drivers and normal drivers were investigated. Methods : Forty Driver aged over 65 year olds and 67 drivers aged less than 67 year olds were participated. All participants had more than 5 years of driving experiences and had no ocular pathology. Demographic data(gender, job, age, body condition) and visual functions such as contrast sensitivity(CS), stereopsis, glare recovery time and discomfort glare index were measured. Results : Constrast sensivity under photopic condition was higher with bus driver group. In addition, difference of CS at 12cpd and 18cpd were signifcantly different between normal drivers(1.57) and bus drivers(1.70) (p<0.05). There was no significant difference for glare recovery time, despite of trend of longer recovery time with age. Discomfort glare index was significantly different that normal drivers with more than 65 year olds had 3, taxi and truck driver presented almost 5 index score (p<0.05). Conclusion : Analysis of visual function of elderly drivers, it was confirmed that their visual functions decreased with age. Therefore, visual function tests such as CS, discomfort glare index and stereopsis in addition to current available test may need to be considered for drivers aged over 65.

Styela plicata of large (9.82~11.66 g) and small (0.93~2.21 g) sizes harvested at different times was extracted with 4 different solvents (methanol, ethanol, acetone, and water). DPPH radical scavenging and reducing power was the highest in acetone extracts of small ones (38.98% and 1.724, respectively) harvested in November. The lowest radical scavenging activity was found in water extracts of large ones (12.03% and 0.114) in December. On the other hand, large ones harvested in September showed significantly higher inhibition rate of DNA damage (water, 56.54%; methanol, 55.83%; ethanol, 48.63%) than others. Overall, the water extraction of S. plicata tended to show a higher antigenotoxic effect. In addition, water extracts of large S. plicata from November showed the highest angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity (64.38%), while that of small ones from December exhibited the lowest (51.33%). Overall the results indicate that antioxidant and antihypertensive activities S. plicata are variable depending on harvesting time, size, and extraction solvent.

This study was conducted to compare the antioxidative effects of Dendranthema zawadskii var. latilobum (Maxim.) Kitam and D. zawadskii var. yezoense (Maek.) Y.M. Lee & H.J. Choi due to the harvest date. Harvested samples at May 9th (early), July 17th (middle) and September 3rd (late stage) were extracted with 80% ethanol, and biological activities and antioxidant substance contents were detected. The earlier harvested samples showed the higher moisture contents and extraction yields. DPPH radical scavenging effect of early harvested D. zawadskii var. latilobum (Maxim.) Kitam ($RC_{50}$ = $0.128\;mg\;{\cdot}\;mL^{-1}$) was similar to BHT ($0.121\;mg\;{\cdot}\;mL^{-1}$). ABTS radical scavenging effects of both species harvested at early stage were higher than that of ascorbic acid which was well-known natural antioxidant. However, both species harvested at late stage showed the highest $Fe^{2+}$ chelating effect, but it was lower than that of EDTA. Total polyphenol and flavonoid contents of both species were higher when samples were harvested earlier stage. However, both species harvested at early stage contained more total polyphenols (79.93 and $75.10\;mg\;{\cdot}\;g^{-1}$) than flavonoids (57.84 and $54.91\;mg\;{\cdot}\;g^{-1}$).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of continuing work on VDT(video display terminal), therefore this study examined visual fatigue, unaided visual acuity, refractive error, accommodation and horizontal phoria of 152 subjects who did two hour long VDT work. For the ocular symptoms, the greatest number was tired eyes accounting for 45.71%. In the visual symptoms, blurred vision was the hightest rate of 80.39% and in case of systemic symptoms shoulder pain was 33.33% marked top ranking. The average of near visual acuity decresed almost 10% from 0.47 to 0.42, but refractive error increased about 0.10D to the direction of myopic shift. The amplitude of accommodation decreased approximately 0.72D from 7.46D to 6.74D. Accommodation facility was delayed from 2.27 second to 2.50 second, the amplitude of positive relative accommodation was decreased from 4.76D to 4.16D and the amplitude of negative relative accommodation was decreased from 2.46D to 2.33D. The horizontal phoria shifted to the direction of esophoria from $1.82{\Delta}$ to $3.24{\Delta}$.

The accommodative facility test can be use the very benetit in visual function test. The purpose of this study was mainly to check the binocular function and to estimate the amount of accommodation with the hand held flipper. It was measured as the subjective time needed to clear an accommodative target (20/20 letters) at 40 em through +/-2.00 D flipper(Bernell Corp., USA). The subjects have an irrespective of sex and no eye disease. Seventy five of youth applicants participated for the accommodative facility test. The reagents using the flipper had higher expected value than the other reagents. In test for the binocular function, the accommodative facility test is a important part due to a serviceable and simple examination. Therefore, these binocular checkup have to be developed through a survey of normative value in the near future.
