Introduction
The aim of the study was the evaluations of ophthalmological care expectation in opinion of countryside inhabitants and their knowledge of eye diseases.

Material and methods
The analysis was performed based on the results of a survey, which covered 198 rural inhabitants living in Wola Uhruska region. The study was carried out during training arranged by Medical University of Lublin in July 2002.

Results
The obtained material was analysed and presented in the form of diagrams and written report. The results of the study showed, that 77% of patients was dissatisfied with the ophthalmologic health care access, despite, that the nearest ophthalmologic practice was in the distance of 30 km. Unfortunately, only 25% of persons could indicate the cause of their eye problems. It is important, to provide more information of eye condition for all patients.
