Purpose : The purpose of this study is to investigate the corneal topography changes as a result of near task in myopes and emmetropes. Methods : Thirty university students, aged from 18 to 24 years old, were randomly selected. They were divided into two refractive groups of fifteen each : myopia and emmetropia. The corneal topography of each subject was measured with the Eye-Sys Videokeratography system. Measurements were taken : before and after 30 minutes of near task (copy N10 text at 20 cm working distance). Both simulated keratometry and semi-meridian keratometric map program were used in the data analysis. Results : Our results reveal no significant changes in both simulated keratometry and semi-meridian presentation as a result of near task for both myopes and emmetropes, except a significant change (p<0.05) found at the flattest meridian of the central (3 mm) portion of the corneal topography after near task for emmetropes only. Conclusions : We conclude that the corneal topography, does not change significantly as a result of near task in both myopes and emmetropes.

The measurement of the radius of corneal curvature with keratometer was followed in 184 university students who wearing RGP contact lens and consisted of female(167), male(17) and keratoconus patients(3). Overall mean value in the radius of corneal curvature is 7.77mm, and right and left eyes is appeared the same mean value. Overall mean value in horizontal and vertical is 7.88mm and 7.65mm. Horizontal means is larger than vertical means by 0.22mm of the all female and male students. Male's mean value in the radius of corneal curvature(7.84mm) is larger than female's by 0.08mm, and right and left eyes is also the same mean value. Keratoconus patients' mean value in the radius of corneal curvature(6.86mm) is smaller than others students by 0.91mm.

Purpose: This study was to develop golf range finder which could measure exact distance from golfer to flag by using telescope and biprism. Methods: Golf range finder was made that included telescope and biprism which could move in the telescope, and an accuracy of the range finder was analyzed in distance range 20~200 m. Results: An equation was made for measuring distance which was related at position of biprism, and we could measure distance successfully by using developed golf range finder. Biprism of 2 ${\Delta}$ was useful to measure in short distance but it had bad accuracy in long distance, and 0.5 ${\Delta}$ was more useful in long distance. Image got worse when the biprism approch to focal point of objective lens for measurement in long distance, so we developed multi-layer biprism to prevent the weak point. Conclusions: Image stabilization by biprism for measuring distance was confirmed. Even if hand was moving, the distance could be measured well by using biprism, and we could find that the induced equation for distance measurement was useful. We found that multi-layer biprism, which is was new developed, was more useful than general biprism when the biprism approched to focal point of objective lens for measurement in long distance.

The corneal structure and function changes somewhat with aging. We were performed the analysis of women college students on the base curve, power, and astigmatism axis of the cornea by keratometer. All women subjects were between the ages of 19 and 20 years. On the corneal base curve. the right eye of the ages of 19 was 7.64 mm in vertical and 7.81 mm in horizontal. But, the left eye was 7.65 mm in vertical and 7.83 mm in horizontal on the other hand, the right and left eye of the ages of 20 was 7.72 mm in vertical and 7.75 mm in horizontal. On the corneal diopter power, the right eye of the ages of 19 was 44.21 diopter in vertical and 43.32 diopter in horizontal. But, the left eye was 44.23 diopter in vertical and 43.24 diopter in horizontal. On the other hand, the right eye of the ages of 20 was 43.67 diopter in vertical and 43.62 diopter in horizontal. But, the left eye was 43.73 diopter in vertical and 43.6 diopter in horizontal. According to the corneal astigmatism axis style, the right eye of the ages of 19 have 83% positive for with the rule astigmatism, and 16% positive for against the rule astigmatism. But, the left eye of the ages of 19 have 86% positive for with the rule astigmatism, and 12% positive for against the rule astigmatism. On the other hand, the right eye of the ages of 19 have 56% positive for with the rule astigmatism, and 44 % positive for against the rule astigmatism. But, the left eye of the ages of 20 have 56% positive for with the rule astigmatism, and 41% positive for against the rule astigmatism. According to the diopter power of corneal astigmatism. The right eye of the ages of 19 have 36% positive for behind 1 diopter and left eye have 31%. But, the right and left eye of the ages of 20 have 37.5%. The right and left eye of the ages of 19 have 42% positive for 1 diopter, and the right eye of the ages of 20 have 34.4% positive for 1 diopter and the left eye have 43.8%. The right eye of the ages of 19 have 12% positive for 2 diopter and left eye have 22%. But, the right eye of the ages of 20 have 15.6% positive for 2 diopter and the left eye have 12%. The right eye of the ages of 19 have 4% positive for 3 diopter and left eye have 3%. But, the left eye of the ages of 20 have 3% positive for 3 diopter and the left eye have 6%. On the other hand, the right eye of ages of 19 have 6% positive over 4 diopter, and the left eye have 2%. But, the right eye of ages of 20 have only 9% positive over 4 diopter.

As the functional test of cornea. The clinical value of keratometric information was important for assessment the curvature of the cornea, the quality of the corneal surface, the stability of the corneal curvature, and the direction of the corneal astigmatism. This study was performed the comparative analysis of male and female of adult on the base curve, power and astigmatism of the Cornea. On the corneal base curve, the male right eye was 7.656 mm in vertical and 7.966 mm in horizontal. But, the male left cornea was 7.714 mm in vertical base curve and 8.026 mm in horizontal base curve. On the other hand, the female right eye cornea was 7.559 mm in vertical base curve and 7.695 mm in horizontal base curve. But, the female left eye cornea was 7.444 mm in vertical base curve and 7.742 mm in horizontal base curve. On the corneal diopter power, the male right eye was 44.063 diopter in vertical and 43.738 diopter in horizontal. But the male left eye was 44.046 diopter in vertical and 42.304 diopter in horizontal. On the other hand, the female right eye was 44.082 diopter in vertical and 43.77 diopter in horizontal. But, the female left eye was 44.347 diopter in vertical and 43.495 diopter in horizontal. According to the corneal astigmatism axis. The male right eye have 89.9% positive for with the - rule astigmatism, and 8.1 % positive for against - the - rule astigmatism. But, he male left eye have 91.89% positive for with - the - rule astigmatism, and 8.11 % positive for against - the - rule astigmatism. On the other hand, The female right eye have 76.92% positive for with - the - rule astigmatism, and 23.08 % positive for against - the - rule astigmatism. But, the female left have 80.76 % positive for with - the - rule astigmatism, and 17.31 % positive for against - the - rule as tigmatism. The diopter power of corneal astigmatism have 25.57% positive for behind 1 diopter, 44.89% positive for 1 diopter, 18.18% positive for 2 diopter, 5.11% positive for 3 diopter and 6.25% positive for over 4 diopter.
