To investigate the ametropia and refractive error of 364 ametropic eyes en the 182 high school students in Jeonbuk provicne, the visual acuity test was performed by the object and subject method. The results were as follows. 1. The eye types were 85.7% positive for myopia, 6.6% for emmetropia and 7.6% hyperopia, respectively. 2. The abnormal refraction eyes were 30.8% positive for simple myopia, 58.5% for myopia compound astigmatism, 7.5% for myopia simple astigmatism, and 1.8% for simple hyperopia, 1.3% for hyperopia compound astigmatism, 1.9% for hyperopia simple astigmatism, respectively. 3. The axes of astigmatism were 78.7% for astigmatism with-the-rule, 13.9% for astigmatism against-the-rule, 7.4% for astigmatism oblique, respectively. 4. As for the astigmatic power, the 0.50 < cylinder < 1.00dptr was 60.0%, the 1.00 < cylinder < 2.00dptr was 29.2%, and anything over the 2.00cylinder dptr was 10.8%. 5. As for the equivalent spheric power of myopic abnormal refraction eyes, the -0.50 < spheric equivalent < -2.00 diopter was 64.6%, the -2.00 < spheric equivalent < -6.00 dptr was 29.1% and anything over the -6.00 dptr was 6%. 6. The equivalent spheric power of hyperopic abnormal refraction eyes was 50% anything under 2.00diopter and 50% for anything over the 2.00diopter.
