To find out the good visual environment for reading, the methods of illumination were studied using Arden Contrast Sensitivity System. Among various factors for comfortable reading condition such as air condition, temperature, humidity, noise and light, the intensity and characters of illumination were the most important factors for eye health. If the character of illuminations are fairly good, to make the brighter condition is better for eye hdalth. But in artificial illumination, there are so many limitations for supplying light of good characters. So we set the luminosity on the desk to 500 lx in which tbe best visual acuity presented, and checked the contrast sensitivity by changing the luminosity of the room. The results suggested that the condition in which luminosity on the desk was higher twice than the room was favorable for reading.

Fourteen cases of central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) were studied with electroretinogram (ERG) and fluorescein angiogram. The cases were divided into a venous stasis retinopathy group (VSR,9 cases) and a hemorrhagic retinopathy group(HR, 5 cases). The b/a ratio and retinal circualtion time (RCT) were measured and compared with the control group. The mean b/a ratio of the HR group (0.86) was decreased as compared with the VSR group (1.18) and the control group (1.23). The RCT of the HR group was markedly delayed to 13.68 seconds as compared with the VSR group (11.09 sec) and the control group (6.4 sec). These facts suggest that both the b/a ratio and the RCT are possible parameters for estimating retinal ischemia and that the ERG is a reliable examination method for classification of CRVO.

Glycogen storage disease is a rare metabolic disorder of significant to the anesthesiologist. The term "glycogen storage disease" is applied to a group of congenital and familial disorders characterised by depostion of abnormally large or small quantities of glycogen in the tissues. 13 types of glycogen storage diseases have been described, classified on the basis of enzyme deficiencies. Type l glycogen storage disease (von Gierke's Disease) is the most common of this constellation of syndromes. The basic defect is a deficiency of enzyme, glucose-6-phosphatase. The patient has hepatomegaly, renomegaly, stunted growth, a tend toward severe hypoglycemia and acidoais. The adverse effect of the combined anesthetic and surgical procedure during operation was reflected in a deterioration of the patients's biochemical parameters. A cardiac arrest after tonsillectomy of the patient with Von Gierke's disease was reported and this fact cmphasizes serious anesthetic problems during operation. Anesthetic management of these patients should focus on prevention of hypoglycemia and lactic acidosis. The careful frequent measuring of the acid-base status is highly recommended and is essential prior to and during andy surgical procedure. We report a case of anesthetic management for a patient with Von Gierke's desease ane review anesthetic problems for these patients.
