The ophthalmologist named two negative consequences of excessive gadget use.
The ophthalmologist of the Children's Republican Clinical Hospital of Tatarstan, Guzel Zakirova, reported at a press conference at the "Tatar-inform" agency that excessive enthusiasm for gadgets can lead to myopia and strabismus. According to the specialist, one of the main problems faced by children who spend a lot of time in front of screens is myopia, or nearsightedness. She noted that there are many patients with this condition in Russia, and in countries with a high level of scientific and technological progress, such as China and Japan, this problem is even more acute. Zakirova explained the mechanism of myopia development. With prolonged and intense focus on a screen, there is excessive strain on accommodation, that is, the ability of the eye to see objects clearly. This strain becomes so strong that the eye begins to elongate, leading to pathological changes. Another serious problem associated with gadget use is convergent strabismus. Due to spasms of the eye muscles, the eyes begin to turn towards the nose. In most cases, surgical intervention is required to correct this condition.
