Abstract

The impact of long personal computer use on the development of spasm of accommodation and myopia was studied in adults. The majority of the examined bank employees were found to have symptoms of computer visual syndrome; myopia developing in adulthood (the maximum age being 32 years) was detected in 33.74% of cases. Complex treatment, including instrumental and drug therapies, for spasm of accommodation and myopia was performed in 97 patients. Increased visual acuity and accommodation extent, reduced refraction, and eliminated discomfort are indicative of the efficiency of the treatment performed. At the same time due to its unstable therapeutic effect, the development of efficient technological and medical measures to prevent spasm of accommodation and myopia remains urgent.
