Abstract
The prevention of visual impairment in people with uncontrolled use of computers and electronic gadgets, the study of clinical manifestations of their negative effects on the body and, especially, on the organ of vision, is an urgent problem of modern medicine.
The purpose of the work was to substantiate the need for the prevention and treatment of visual impairment in adolescents with uncontrolled smartphone use. The article describes the negative effects of irrational use of computer gadgets on users' eyesight, clinical manifestations of computer vision syndrome and its component – dry eye syndrome, and describes in detail approaches to the prevention and treatment of visual impairment associated with uncontrolled use of computers and electronic gadgets. The results of our own research revealed the general prevalence of problematic smartphone use in 15.2% of adolescents, its more frequent occurrence in girls (21.2%) than boys (5.0%), and a higher prevalence of vision problems (computer vision syndrome, dry eye syndrome) in smartphone-dependent adolescents compared with independent ones.
The authors conclude that the approach to the prevention and treatment of pathological changes in the body (primarily from the organ of vision) caused by the irrational use of modern gadgets should be comprehensive, including recommendations for optimizing the regime and working conditions with electronic computer devices, as well as the use of various ophthalmological measures in a complex of preventive and therapeutic measures funds.
