Visual acuity Decrease is one of the most common symptoms of adolescents. Acupuncture method has been used for improvement of visual acuity from ancient period. But it is not sufficent to recognize underlying causes and predisposing factors of visual acuity decrease. So we investigate the common causes and factors on myopia outpatients group. We researched 992 outpatients who were treated at Department of Acupuncture & Moxibustion, National Medical Center from June 2001 to May 2002. The outpatients were classified into several groups according to visual acuity and age. Common predisposing factors of visual acuity decrease were assessed through questionnaires based on the Classics of the traditional oriental medical bibliography. The results are as follows; age distribution is 52.9% for female, 47.1% for male. The predisposing factors were ranked as poor posture(66.9%), unbalanced diet(57.2%), heredity(53.8%), irregular diet habit(51.3%) and so on. These results playa role as preliminary data in recongnition of myopia in the view of oriental medicine.
