Objectives : This study reports a massive vision screening on preschool children of Yangsan city in Kyungnam Province. Methods : From March to July 2012, we conducted vision and color test on 1,409 preschool children aged from one to six and used Auto Kerato-Refractometer(KR-8900) on children with naked vision below 0.5 in order to detect the cause of poor vision. Written form of test result is filled and distributed to each parents. Uncooperative 195 children were excluded and the rest were statistically analyzed by using SPSS version 18.0 program. Results : 16 children(1.1%) had dyschromatopsia and the number of boys was threefold higher than that of girls. The average visual acuity was 0.8 to 0.9 regardless of age. 45 children(3.8%) showed myopia, 82 children showed hyperopia(6.8%), 4 children showed anisometropia(0.3%), among which 16 children were wearing glasses. Conclusions : This study has a great significance that a massive preschool vision screening was carried out by Korean medicine hospital for the first time.

To test preschool children's medium- long distance stereoscopic vision normal average value, and intermittent strabismus children,s medium-long distance stereoscopic vision acuteness is the goal of this study. The software of random stereoscopic vision and graph, which is developed by Hu-Chong etc has been used, to test 414 cases normal preschool children and 19 cases intermittent exotropia childrens medium-long distance (1-5 m) stereoscopic vision (before operation and after operation). The normal average value of preschool children's medium-long distance stereoscopic vision was achieved. Intermittent exotropia children's stereoscopic vision acuteness was declined with the increase of distance. This method can provide reference as screening abnormal stereoscopic vision during scientific research and clinical work.
