The results of this study can help us much understand the causes of myopia and be used to support government''s policies for students’ vision health care. According to the principles of theoretical sampling, we decided to enroll the first academic term of the fourth, fifth and sixth grades students as the population in this research who were from the two elementary schools of Taoyuan county and Taipei city at the ninety-two academic year. There were 445 samples in this study. The data have been proceeded for statistical analysis under the software SPSS for windows 11.0 and analyzed by percentage, average, standard deviation, one-way ANOVA, eta square, logistic regression, multiple regression, and multivariate linear regression analysis. The major findings of this study were as follows: 1. The correlation between the individual demographic variables and the learning stress: (1) Boys felt the compulsive learning stress much higher than girls. (2) The fourth grades students who just studied in the Nine-year Integrated Curriculum felt some kinds of the learning stresses much higher than fifth and sixth grades, for instance, schoolwork, be teased and cold-shouldered by some other classmates, examinations, and all of the learning stresses. (The fifth grades students had studied in the Nine-year Integrated Curriculum for two terms. The sixth grades students never studied in the Nine-year Integrated Curriculum.)(3) The students who were high SES felt the stress of schoolwork and examinations much higher than others who were low SES. (4) The better study scores, the lower learning stresses will feel, for examples, schoolwork, be teased by some other classmates, the difference between efforts and scores, examinations, and all of the learning stresses. 2. The correlation between the learning stress and habitual use of eyes: The lower learning stresses, the shorter time of near work will have. These were schoolwork, the difference between efforts and scores, be cold-shouldered by some other classmates, examinations, the compulsive learning stress, and all of the learning stresses. If students felt schoolwork, examinations, the compulsive learning stress, and all of the learning stresses much lower, they will take regular habitual use of eyes. 3. The relationship among the learning stress, habitual use of eyes and myopia: If students felt the compulsive learning stress much higher, their eyes will become myopia. However, if students lessened to take regular habitual use of eyes or spent longer time to near work, their eyes won’t become myopia. Why is this result different from other researches? In this cross-sectional survey, emmetropia and myopia students were included; nevertheless, myopia children’ parents and teachers maybe warned them all the time to spend shorter time to near work or looked far away for a while after near working for 30~40 minutes. For this reason, the habitual use of eyes of myopia students was better than others. Based on above findings, this study provided some suggestions for educational and governmental institutes and would be a reference to some researches of students’ vision health care in the future.
