Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate how phoria variations would vary with head positions, as well as to review the need to differentiate prism placement over either eye in a relation to the imbalance of the extraocular muscle. Methods: This study was carried out with 44 males (88 eyes) and 16 females (32 eyes) aged between 20 and 30. For all subjects, testings were performed using cover test, subjective refraction, phoria and vergence test. To analyze phoria variations comparatively for the head tilt test and the face turn test, phoria deviation were measured using the von Graefe. Results: For the phoria variation related with head tilt and face turn, a significant difference was observed in the group judged to be abnormal on the horizontal phoria of Morgan' norm (p<0.05); especially in patients who needed near prescription of Sheard's criterion, a higher variation was observed (p<0.05). The abnormal group was composed of patients who needed distance prescription of Sheard's criterion and ones who did not need the prescription, all of whom showed phoria variations, but the mean value was less than the near. Conclusions: With regard to the head tilt and face turn related phoria level, the patients who needed near horizontal prism prescription of Sheard's criterion showed a remarkably higher variation. Altogether, it is deemed to check whether extraocular muscles are ill-balanced in both eyes previously to determine the prism power on phoria level to the end that each of prism powers may be accurately determined.

본 논문에서는 입력 영상의 컬러 정보를 이용함으로써 조명 변화나 얼굴의 자세 변화에 둔감하게 얼굴 정보를 고속 검출하는 알고리듬을 제안하였다 계산복잡도가 작으면서도, 조명의 변화에 민감하지 않은 특성을 가진 NCC (normalized color component) 좌표계에서 정의한 살색에 기반하여 얼굴 후보 영역을 검출하고, 검출된 얼굴 후보 영역 내에서의 눈의 검출에도 색상 분포 특성을 이용함으로써 얼굴의 숙임(nod), 돌림(shake), 기울임(tilt)등에 의한 자세 변화에 대해서도 둔감하게 두 눈의 위치를 고속으로 찾도록 하였다. 특히 집중자(concentrator)를 제안 적용하여 유동적인 눈썹의 영향을 줄이고 눈안의 중심 위치를 찾도록 가중치 눈지도(eye map)를 도입하였다. 제안된 알고리듬이 조명 변화나 얼굴의 다양한 자세 변화가 있는 영상에서 얼굴 후보 영역과 두 눈의 위치를 효과적으로 검출함을 실험을 통해 확인하였다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether a relationship exists between head posture and phoria, and usefulness in examining habitual head posture. Methods: Twenty two subjects (20 males and 2 females, mean age $23.6{\pm}2.7$ years) with abnormal phoria from participants randomized were enrolled in this study. For all subjects, testing included case history, cover test, refraction, phoria and vergence test. Habitual head posture (head posture, head tilt and face turn) was measured by Impression IST, and observed by examiners. Results: The abnormal head posture was revealed in some subjects with abnormal phoria. Spearman' correlation ($\rho$=0.524, p=0.045) showed significant correction between face turn and phoria at distance in 15 subjects with prism prescription. No significant relationship between head posture and phoria was found in subjects with abnormal phoria. The objective measurement and subjective observation of head posture showed insignificant correction but there was a distinct difference. The former was detail and the latter was discriminate. Conclusions: Presence of abnormal head posture was found in phoric subjects. The results indicate the need to observe habitual head posture at all major positions of gaze in phoria.
