Purpose: This study was designed to compare the relative accommodation, the accommodative facility, and the addition whose 40's initial presbyopia divided into five occupations (driver, official worker, housewife, field worker, teacher). Methods: We measured the values of near point convergence (NPC), positive relative accommodation (PRA), negative relative accommodation (NRA), accommodative facility, and addition. Results: Official worker group had lower PRA, higher NRA, and lower accommodative facility compared with them of the other groups. The average of addition was as follows: official worker > driver > field worker > housewife > teacher. Conclusions: Because the difference of working environment based on occupation affects the accommodative functions and addition, it is important to consider the patient's occupation when opticians measure the addition for near vision of initial presbyopia.

Purpose: This study was designed to compare the accommodative amplitude whose 40s initial presbyopia patients divided into five occupation (driver, official worker, housewife, field worker, teacher). Methods: Both "push-up"and "inus lens to blur technique" methods were used to examine the average of accommodative amplitude. Results: All the average of accommodative amplitude (OD, OS, and OU) were the lowest in official worker group (3.27${\pm}$0.21D, 3.31${\pm}$0.22D, 3.54${\pm}$0.28D) and the highest in housewife group (4.07${\pm}$0.35D, 4.11${\pm}$0.35D, 4.37${\pm}$0.39D). Conclusions: Because occupational specifications including a fixative habit are able to change the binocular accommodation, it is important to understand thoroughly the patient's occupation when opticians make near vision prescription for initial presbyopia.

가입도 1.00D 미만의 초기 노안을 대상으로 푸쉬업과 플리퍼 방법에 의한 조절훈련이 가입도 측정값을 감소시킬 수 있는지 알아보고자 하였다. 조절훈련은 12주간 매일 home vision training을 실시하였고, 일주일 간격으로 조절력, 조절지체, 조절용이성 및 가입도 검사를 실시하였다. 푸쉬업 훈련과 플리퍼 훈련 결과, 가입도는 0.125D~0.375D 유의하게 감소되었고, 푸쉬업 훈련이 플리퍼 훈련보다 가입도 감소효과가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 푸쉬업 훈련과 플리퍼 훈련은 조절력을 향상시켜 초기 노안이 필요로 하는 가입도를 감소시킬 수 있으며, 이와 같은 상태를 유지하기 위해서는 지속적인 훈련이 필요할 것으로 나타났다.
