Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to evaluate smartphone usage patterns and their effects on the eye's accommodation and convergence systems among Malaysian teenagers aged 13 to 17, involving 62 participants using questionnaires and eye exams.
- - Findings indicated that teenagers use smartphones for over 6 hours daily, mainly for videos and games, yet most did not report any eye strain or prescription changes; however, after 30 minutes of continuous use, eye accommodation and convergence abilities significantly decreased.
- - The research concluded that frequent smartphone use increases visual stress, weakening eye functions, and recommended taking regular breaks and following the 20-20-20 rule to help maintain eye health.
