We study the chiral critical behaviors of QED by using Non-PerturbativeRenormalization Group (NPRG). Taking account of the non-ladder contributions,our flow equations are free from the gauge parameter ($\alpha$) dependence. Weclarify the chiral phase structure, and calculate the anomalous dimension of$\bar\psi\psi$, which is enhanced compared to the ladder approximation. We findthat the cutoff scheme dependence of the physical results is very small.Comment: 14 pages, latex, 7 figures; misprints correcte
