Purpose
The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation of measured visual acuity
(VA) both static and dynamic obtained with static and dynamic measuring tests, as well
as, response time to visual stimulus and analysis of its influence on dynamic visual
acuity. The aim was to compare the results gathered for the three age groups and
analyze the possible differences.
Methods
The test groups consisted of 75 subjects between 10 and 60 years old, categorized in
three age groups. The measurements of static and dynamic visual acuity and reaction
time were conducted. The set of nine tests (five with radial magnification speed and four
simulating driving condition at 72 km/h and 130 km/h) was designed in order to measure
dynamic visual acuity and the set of two tests for reaction time measurement.
Results
Compared to static visual acuity in both tests, the results obtained with measurements
of dynamic visual acuity resulted in lower values depending on Landolt ring size and
magnification speed of animation. In average, the dynamic visual acuities in tests with
different magnification speeds were lower than static by 0.4 visual acuity units, or 31%
and the average of dynamic visual acuity after subtracting motoric component (reaction
time) was for 0.2 visual acuity worse than static or 15%. In the second test simulating
driving conditions at 72 km/h the average drop in dynamic visual acuity was 33% while
at 130 km/h average drop for younger and middle age groups was 37% and for older
group was 44% and after subtracting motor component values for 72 km/h speed
simulation average drop in visual acuity values was 23% for all three groups; for 130
km/h speed simulation younger and middle aged group average drop of visual acuity
was 20% and with older group it was 24%.
Conclusion
The tests used in this study were simple and fast and revealed significant difference
between static and dynamic visual acuity and influence of reaction time on dynamic

and training of dynamic visual and sensory response skill with drivers, sportsmen and
people with visual-motor dysfunction.

The present thesis deals with alternative powertrains, focusing on electric vehicles
and hybrid vehicles and which of those alternative powertrains is considered as
sustainable for the future. It explores the question, which alternative powertrain is
worthwhile investing in for German automotive suppliers. The aim is to clarify
which of the two powertrains is already established on the market and what the
future prospects of those powertrains are. The question here is evaluated based on
the analysis of current literature as well as through the use of a SWOT analysis
and the use of the scoring model.
As a result it is clear that there is a need for alternative powertrains and the entire
automotive industry invests a lot in the development and research of alternative
powertrains. According to the German Federal Government, one million electric
vehicles should be on German roads by 2020. With pure electric vehicles, however,
the goal will be difficult to reach. Therefore, there is a lot of vested interest in
the development of hybrid vehicles on the market. It shows that the hybrid vehicle
has considerable advantages over the electric vehicle and the hybrid vehicle is
already seen as a transitional solution for pure electric vehicles. The hybrid vehicle
is also already established in the market and has better chances on the market
in the future. Therefore, it makes sense for German automotive suppliers to invest
in hybrid vehicles and to focus on this market, since there the chances of success
are greater and the future potential of this market is higher.
Abstract
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this study is to prescribe follicular-like conjunctivitis associated with Siliconhydrogels
(FoCoSi) in silicone hydrogel contact lens wearers as a novel subtype of
the well prescribed contact lens induced papillary conjunctivitis (CLPC).
1.2 Methods
1211 patients who wore silicon hydrogels were included in this prospective, nonrandomised,
single center study. Subjective symptoms and clinical signs were evaluated
for daily wear (DW) and continuous wear (CW) populations for several (Lotrafilcon A,
Lotrafilcon B, Senofilcon A, Galyfilcon A) silicon hydrogel lens types. CCLRU and other
specifically developed grading scale were utilized for evaluation. Grading of 2 and above
was rated as clinically significant. Statistical evaluation was performed for eyes rather
than subjects.
1.3 Results
The clinical presentation of FoCoSi could be confirmed and showed an incidence of
3.8%. Lotrafilcon A followed by Senofilcon A on a CW modality presented, with a risk
ratio of 2.49 and 1.53 respectively, the highest affinity for developing FoCoSi. Fluorescein
positive spots showed the closest correlation with subjective symptoms reported
by patients and divided FoCoSi into an active and dormant form. Besides Protein, Lipid
deposition on the contact lens surface and air pollution like Ozone or fine and ultrafine
particles seems to be important factors in developing FoCoSi, whereas mechanical irritation
played a minor role.
1.4 Conclusion
FoCoSi is a novel and relevant subtype of CLPC. Further studies should be performed
to validate these findings and clear up several questions about the aetiology of FoCoSi
and CLPC.
