Due to the development of the technology, people now use more 3C products then before. Also, the school homework loading increases nowadays, students spend more time in near-distance study and reading. Therefore, we want to compare if the risk factors of myopia differ in different generations and places. The conclusion will help us to make better policy in myopia control and prevention. We’ve designed questionnaire about risk factors of myopia. Parameters including level of education, family income, time for near-work and outdoors activities, different treatment modalities, etc, and multivariate logistic analysis was performed to see if there are any significant differences between different generations and places.
