Increase in Myopia in Children Due to Electronic Devices

Last year, in the clinic of Dr. Jose Joaquin Valyarino, 4,783 patients were treated for ophthalmology, including those treated for myopia. It is known that excessive use of electronic devices stimulates the development of myopia in children and youth. This is becoming an increasingly relevant problem in the modern world, where spending most of the time in front of screens of gadgets leads to a deterioration of vision. "We are observing an increase in the number of patients with myopia, especially among children and adolescents. In order to prevent the progression of this condition, it is important to implement regular preventive measures and monitor the time spent in front of screens of devices," noted a doctor from the clinic.
