Purpose: The study tried to figure out accommodative changes by measuring accommodative response, appearing on the full vision correction and low vision correction, with both eyes open-view auto-refractometer (Nvision-K5001, Shin-nippon, Japan). Methods: It carried out objective and subjective refractions, targeting 79 college students (58 males and 21 females) aged between 20 and 30($21.14{\pm}2.00$), by measuring accommodative changes with fixation distance at 1.0 m for eyesight of 1.0 after full version correction. The distances of 5.0 m, 1.0 m, 0.50 m, 0.33 m and 0.25 m for eyesight of 0.8, 0.7 and 0.6 after low vision correction arbitrarily added plus lens were applied. Results: the shorter measure fixation distances were, the greater changes accommodative response showed a tendency in the state of both full vision correction and low vision correction(0.7). The state of full vision correction showed a greater change of accommodative response than that of low vision correction(0.7). Both right and left eyes showed low accommodative responses in the state of low vision correction(0.7) than that of full vision correction. As a result of analyzing accommodative response at an eyesight of 0.8, 0.7, and 0.6 after low vision correction, the poorer eyesight was the lower accommodative response. Conclusions: Low vision correction from a near distance is expected to avoid unnecessary accommodative response, make eyes relaxed and prevent accommodative function disorder.

The optimal design of Water Distribution System (WDS) is used in various ways according to the purpose set by the user. The optimal design of WDS has various purposes, such as minimizing costs and minimizing energy generated when manufacturing pipes. In this study, based on the Modified Hybrid Vision Correction Algorithm (MHVCA), a cost-optimal design was conducted for various WDSs. We also propose a new evaluation index, Best Rate (BR). BR is an evaluation index developed based on the K-mean Clustering Algorithm. Through BR, a comparison was made on the possibility of searching for the optimal design of each algorithm used in the optimal design of WDS. The results of MHVCA for WDS were compared with Vision Correction Algorithm (VCA) and Hybrid Vision Correction Algorithm (HVCA). MHVCA showed a lower cost design than VCA and HVCA. In addition, MHVCA showed better probability of lower cost designs than VCA and HVCA. MHVCA will be able to show good results when applied to the optimal design of WDS for various purposes as well as the optimal design of WDS for cost minimization applied in this study.

In this study, a new meta-heuristic optimization algorithm, Vision Correction Algorithm (VCA), designed according to the optical properties of glasses was developed. The VCA is a technique applying optometry and vision correction procedure to optimization algorithm through the process of myopic/hyperopic correction-brightness adjustment-compression enforcement-astigmatism adjustment. The proposed VCA unlike the conventional meta-heuristic algorithm is an automatically adjusting global/local search rate and global search direction based on accumulated optimization results. The proposed algorithm was applied to the representative optimization problem (mathematical and engineering problem) and results of the application are compared with that of the present algorithms.

The Self-Adaptive Vision Correction Algorithm (SAVCA) developed in this study was suggested for improving usability by modifying four parameters (Modulation Transfer Function Rate, Astigmatic Rate, Astigmatic Factor and Compression Factor) except for Division Rate 1 and Division Rate 2 among six parameters in Vision Correction Algorithm (VCA). For verification, SAVCA was applied to two-dimensional mathematical benchmark functions (Six hump camel back / Easton and fenton) and 30-dimensional mathematical benchmark functions (Schwefel / Hyper sphere). It showed superior performance to other algorithms (Harmony Search, Water Cycle Algorithm, VCA, Genetic Algorithms with Floating-point representation, Shuffled Complex Evolution algorithm and Modified Shuffled Complex Evolution). Finally, SAVCA showed the best results in the engineering problem (speed reducer design). SAVCA, which has not been subjected to complicated parameter adjustment procedures, will be applicable in various fields.

The optimal design for water distribution system (WDS) is not only satisfying the minimum required water pressure of the nodes, but also minimizing pipe cost, etc. The number of designs of WDS increases exponentially due to the arrangement of various pipes. Various optimization algorithms were applied to propose an optimized design of WDS. In this study, Modified Hybrid Vision Correction Algorithm (MHVCA) with improved self-adapting parameter was applied to optimal design of WDS. The performance was improved by changing the Hybrid Rate (HR) of the existing Hybrid Vision Correction Algorithm (HVCA) to nonlinear HR. To verify the performance of the proposed MHVCA, it applied to mathematical problems consisting of 2 and 30 decision variables and constrained mathematical problems. In order to review the application results of MHVCA, it was compared with Harmony Search (HS), Improved Harmony Search (IHS), Vision Correction Algorithm (VCA) and HVCA. Finally, MHVCA was applied to the optimal design problem of WDS and the results were compared with other algorithms. MHVCA showed better results than other algorithms in mathematical problems and WDS problem. MHVCA will be able to show good results by applying to various water resource engineering problems as well as problems applied in this study.

상수관망은 많은 관을 통해 물의 수요가 있는 곳으로 물을 공급해주는 역할을 하는 사회기반 시설물이다. 상수관망 설계의 요점은 두 가지로 구분할 수 있다. 첫 번째 요점은 다양한 종류의 관배치로 인한 상수관망 설계안의 많은 경우의 수이다. 두 번째 요점은 상수관망 내 절점의 최저 요구수압 등의 제약조건이다. 두 가지 요점이 있는 상황에서 상수관망 설계비용의 최소화를 위한 상수관망 최적설계는 많은 계산이 요구된다. 많은 계산이 요구되기 때문에 상수관망 최적설계에 최적화 기법을 적용할 수 있다. 본 연구에서 상수관망 최적설계를 위해 적용된 최적화 기법은 Hybrid Rate(HR)를 개선한 Hybrid Vision Correction Algorithm(HVCA)이다. HVCA는 Vision Correction Algorithm(VCA)을 기반으로 추가적인 전역탐색을 실행하는 Centralized Global Search(CGS)의 적용 및 자가적응형 매개변수인 Hybrid Rate(HR)를 적용하여 사용성과 성능을 개량한 알고리즘이다. HVCA의 기존 HR은 선형적으로 증가하는 형태이다. 선형적으로 증가하는 HR로 인해 HVCA는 최적해 탐색과정에서 지역해에 빠지는 문제가 발생하였다. HVCA의 문제를 해결하기 위해 HR을 비선형적으로 증가하는 형태로 개량하였다. HR이 개량된 HVCA를 수자원공학 문제인 상수관망 최적설계 문제에 적용하여 결과를 비교하였다. 적용결과 HR이 개량된 HVCA가 기존의 HVCA보다 낮은 설계 비용을 나타내었다. 상수관망 최적설계 적용결과를 바탕으로 HR이 개량된 HVCA는 상수관망 최적설계 이외의 수자원공학 문제에도 적용가능할 것이다.

Purpose: The objective of this study is to compare and analyze the wearing status of refractive error correction devices of elders who reside in a city or in a small town district. Methods: Each of opticians from a small town or a city was selected for the study of wearing status of presbyopia correction device for each residential district in units of percentage. with the analysis of the age and gender distributions of the elders, numbers of elderly members, and the kinds of presbyopia correction. Results: The wearing rate of progressive lens was reduced in reverse proportion to the increase of the age for the people of presbyopia in a twon. Pepople in 60s living in a town perferred to wearing bifocal lens, but people of 50~60s preferred to single vision lenses. However, none of people living in a city who is diagnosed as presbyopia had refractive error correction device, and no one used bifical lenses. The progressive lens was mostly used in the people of 40~50s and using rate of those lenses reduced with the age; and single vision lens had the highest rate of in the 40~50s but no one wore it in the 70s. Conclusions: Among the refractive error correction devices, the progressive lens was most widely worn by presbyopia group who is living in a town or a city. In particular, the refractive error correction devices were most preferred in 40~50s of early presbyopia. The highest preference for the progressive lens in the people with the early presbyopia indicates that the wearing rate of the progressive will be increased in future. Therefore, the opportunity of systematic education on the progressive lens should be increased.

Metaheuristic search methods have been developed to solve problems with a range of purpose functions in situations lacking information and time constraints. In this study, the Hybrid Vision Correction Algorithm (HVCA), which enhances the performance of the Vision Correction Algorithm (VCA), was developed. The HVCA has applied two methods to improve the performance of VCA. The first method changes the parameters required by the user for self-adaptive parameters. The second method, the CGS structure of the Exponential Bandwidth Harmony Search With a Centralized Global Search (EBHS-CGS), was added to the HVCA. The HVCA consists of two structures: CGS and VCA. To use the two structures, a method was applied to increase the probability of selecting the structure with the optimal value as it was performed. The optimization problem was applied to determine the performance of the HVCA, and the results were compared with Harmony Search (HS), Improved Harmony Search (IHS), and VCA. The HVCA improved the number of times to find the optimal value during 100 repetitions compared to HS, IHS, and VCA. Moreover, the HVCA reduced the Number of Function Evaluations (NFEs). Therefore, the performance of the HVCA has been improved.
