Abstract
This research deals with the most important factors affecting eye diseases using the factor analysis method. Tests for this method were conducted: The measure of sampling adequacy test (KMO) was = 0.716 and is considered good. In addition, the Chi-Square test was significant (0.00), which is less than 0.05, the random sample of the research was taken (255) eye patients in one of the eye hospitals in Iraq.
The research included focusing on (8) independent variables that affect patients according to the opinion of ophthalmologists, These variables were reduced to (4) factors using the principal component method, and these factors contributed to explaining a variance amounting to (60.512%) of the total variance percentage, after that, these factors were rotated using the Promax method to determine the percentage of contribution of the research variables in forming each of the factors that the researcher arrived at.
