Finally,34 Q-samples were seleted. The results were analyzed by a Q-factor with a PC QUANL Program. The sell-image of eyeglass wearers were found to revolve around three types: Type 1. They feel that eyeglasses have a negative inf1uence on image and that they uncomfortable. In addition, other people have a negative bias toward people who wear eyeglasses. As a result of these negative prejudices and inconveniences, there is a tendency to wear contact lens or have laser operations. Type 2.
