Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of under and over refractive correction on visual acuity performance and the variation of the visual performance measurement using two different visual acuity charts. Methods: Ten young adults, aged between 19 and 25 years old, were recruited. Inclusion criteria: no history of ocular injury or pathology with a best-corrected visual acuity of 6/6 on dominant eye. The over and under refractive corrections were induced using minus and plus spherical ophthalmic lenses in 0.50 D steps up to 3.00 D; as well as using three axis orientations of cylindrical ophthalmic lenses ($45^{\circ}$, $90^{\circ}$ and $180^{\circ}$) in 0.50 D steps. The variation of visual acuity performance measurements was investigated using Bailey-Lovie LogMAR chart and Landolt C chart. Results: The visual acuity changes with lenses were significantly different between two charts [F = 49.15, p < 0.05 with plus spherical ophthalmic lenses and F = 174.38, p < 0.05 with minus spherical ophthalmic lenses]. The visual acuity changes with three different cylindrical axis showed no significant difference between Bailey-Lovie LogMAR chart [F = 2.35, p > 0.05] and Landolt C chart [F = 3.12, p = 0.05]. Conclusions: The over and under refractive correction affected the visual acuity performance differently. The Landolt C chart and Bailey-Lovie LogMAR chart demonstrated variation in measurements.

Eye Dominance and Reading Speed

Chen, Ai-Hong,Mustapha, Nurfazliha,Rahman, Muhamad Irwan The Korean Ophthalmic Optics Society 2011 한국안광학회지 Vol.16 No.3

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate eye dominance and reading performance based on eye movements and reading speed. Methods: The eye dominance of 30 subjects was determined using the sighting test (hole formed by hands). The subjects were asked to read the numerical reading material aloud in English from left to right and from right to left at random. The number of saccades, regressions, and inter-fixations per minute was calculated using Visual-Oculography (VOG) and the reading speed was recorded as number of characters per minute using stopwatch. Results: No significant differences in reading speed among right and left eye dominant subjects as they read from left to right and right to left directions (p>0.05). However, left eye dominant subjects were found to read significantly faster compared to right eye dominant subjects in both directions of reading (p<0.05). In term of eye movement patterns, no significant differences in saccades, regressions, and inter-fixations per minute were found between subjects with right eye dominance and left eye dominance for both reading directions (p>0.05). Conclusions: Reading performance in term of eye movement and speed was not affected by eye dominance, but subjects with left eye dominance read faster than subjects with right eye dominance.

Purpose: The effect of two different levels of illumination and the effect of three letter chart types on subjective refraction findings were investigated. Methods: This study involved thirty Malay university students aged between 19 to 23 years old (7 males, 23 females), with their spherical refractive error ranged between plano to -7.75D, astigmatism ranged from plano to -1.75D, anisometropia less than 1D and with no history of ocular injury and pathology. Monocular subjective refraction was measured under two levels of illumination (with and without room light) and with three different letter charts (Snellen letter chart, wall mounted letter chart and proletter chart). Subjective refraction finding was calculated in spherical equivalent in unit diopter (D). Results: There was no significant effect in the subjective refraction findings with Snellen letter chart (t-test=p-value= 0.88), projected letter chart (t-test=-0.19, p-value=as well as wall mounted letter chart (t-test=p-value=One Way ANOVA also revealed when the subjective refractive measures were compared under two different level of room illumination (with and without room light), no significant effect of letter chart types on subjective refraction readings with room light (F2,185=p-value=and without room light (F2.185=p-value=Conclusions: Subjective refraction findings were not affected whether the room light was on or off. They were also not affected by the types of letter chart used.

One Way ANOVA also revealed when the subjective refractive measures were compared under two different level of room illumination (with and without room light), no significant effect of letter chart types on subjective refraction readings with room light ($F_{2.185}$=0.11, p-value=0.89) and without room light ($F_{2.185}$=0.02, p-value=0.98). Conclusions: Subjective refraction findings were not affected whether the room light was on or off. They were also not affected by the types of letter chart used.

The cause of poor visual acuity was connected to the damage by the ocular trauma related. Especially the most cause of visual disorder was identified as irregular pupil by ocular damage. Therefore most patients stopped the wearing of the contact lens immediately by the visual decrease effects from irregular pupil disorder. But we had suggested that the contact lens wear was a very intensive visual therapy. We had identified the visual recover from several tests using the contact lens treatment.
