Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Pupil size with the one eye pinhole glasses (mm)Subjects performed this examination while wearing multiple pinhole and without wearing pinhole with one week apart in random order after baseline study

Pupil size with the one eye pinhole glasses was measured using a WASCA Analyzer (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Oberkochen, Germany).

StereopsisSubjects performed this examination while wearing multiple pinhole and without wearing pinhole with one week apart in random order after baseline study

Stereopsis was checked with the Randot Stereotest (Stereo Optical Co., Chicago, IL, USA).

Reading speed (letters per second)Subjects performed this examination while wearing multiple pinhole and without wearing pinhole with one week apart in random order after baseline study

Reading speed was evaluated using the famous Korean traditional fairy tale book. This Korean book was printed black-and-white with 10-font size.

Distant visual acuity (logMAR)Subjects performed this examination while wearing multiple pinhole and without wearing pinhole with one week apart in random order after baseline study

Distant visual acuity were measured using Snellen chart (Precision Vision, La Salle, IL, USA) at 4 m.

The fusional convergenceSubjects performed this examination while wearing multiple pinhole and without wearing pinhole with one week apart in random order after baseline study

With the subject watching the 20/30 sized fixation target at 40 cm, we take the base-out bar prism on the subject's right eye. While gradually increasing the extent of the prism, the first point that the subject noticed diplopia was defined as the break point.

BUTSubjects performed this examination while wearing multiple pinhole and without wearing pinhole with one week apart in random order after baseline study

fluorescein is instilled into the subject's tear film and the subject is asked not to blink while the tear film is observed under a broad beam of cobalt blue illumination

Near point of accommodation (NPA)Subjects performed this examination while wearing multiple pinhole and without wearing pinhole with one week apart in random order after baseline study

Near point of accommodation (NPA) was measured using Donder's push-up method.

Photopic pupil size (baseline, mm)Subjects performed this examination while wearing multiple pinhole and without wearing pinhole with one week apart in random order after baseline study

Pupil size under photopic conditions (85 cd/m2) was measured using a WASCA Analyzer (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Oberkochen, Germany).
