ABSTRACT:
Myopia is an ophthalmological abnormality prevalent among human beings, it is characterized by the formation of an image anteriorly to the retina, with the ciliary muscle at rest. We can list genetics and environment as conditioning factors of this pathology; in the meantime, this last factor has acquired great importance nowadays, in view of the growing exponential increase in the use of electronic screens. This literature review aims to list the relationships between myopia and the overuse of screens. In this context, it is necessary to review the main international publications on this health problem in children under 4 years of age. Thus, we carried out a literature review in the PUBMED database with the following keywords: “Myopia”; “Use of Digital Devices”; “children”, “computer”, “covid”. Although the relationship between the pandemic and the repercussions for ophthalmic health proposed in this work is an extremely relevant topic, it is known that there is still a need for further studies.
Keywords: “Myopia”; “Use of Digital Devices”; “children”, “computer”, “covid”.
