Influence of Gadgets on the Vision of Preschool Children
Keywords:
myopia, accommodation spasm, asthenopia, psycho-emotional stressAbstract
It is impossible to imagine modern children without the latest scientific and technical achievements and mobile technologies. However, uncontrolled use of gadgets increasingly leads to complaints not only about functional changes in the work of organs and systems of the body, but also to the occurrence of various diseases. It has been established that long-term use of gadgets can contribute to the development of organic ophthalmological pathologies, and significant stress on the musculoskeletal system, especially with prolonged work at the computer, can lead to posture disorders. All this, of course, negatively affects the health of children.
