Factors and Preventative Measures of the Visual Organs Pathology Among Students

Abstract

Topicality. The urgency of the article is determined by a large number of students with a visual organs disorder, which causes anxiety both to doctors and teachers, as vision is one of the most important analyzers of the human body, which provides full dynamic information about a color, a form, a distance, the world around us, etc. The goal of this research is to synthesize the causes of the visual organs pathology and the ways of preserving the sense of vision. Methodology of the research is the analysis of scientific and methodological cited literature, the survey of students on the use of computer and mobile devices. Results: the factors of the visual organs pathology have been generalized, they may be hereditary, congenital and acquired. Hereditary factors of the visual organs pathology are transmitted from parents to children, or through generations. Congenital factors of the visual organs pathology can have negative effects on the fetus during pregnancy. The reason for the acquired diseases is the disease of internal systems and organs, primarily diseases of ORL organs and cardiovascular pathologies, as well as bad habits, inappropriate nutrition, environmental conditions and the work with displays. Many-hours-long reading from the monitor provokes the visual syndrome and generally worsens the eyesight. Students are obsessed with the computer and mobile technologies, leaving out of account their negative impact. Consequently, the authors emphasize the need to adhere to the rules of using the computers and mobile devices, to provide special exercises for prevention and vision correction, which are to increase the level and intensity of metabolic processes in the human body, and blood circulation are to be enhanced. These regular special exercises affect both the work of eye muscles and the visual acuity positively. Conclusions. The visual organs pathology can be prevented by doing the therapeutic exercises and the exercises for relaxation, as well as by following both general and special recommendations such as a proper display arrangement and regular breaks.
