Impact Of Digital Device Use On Dry Eye Syndrome And Myopia Progression: A Review Of Current Evidence
Abstract
The rapid increase in daily screen exposure has led to a rising prevalence of visual disorders, including dry eye syndrome (DES) and myopia. This review summarizes current evidence regarding the mechanisms by which digital device use affects tear film stability, accommodation, and myopia progression. Recent studies indicate that reduced blink rate, increased accommodative demand, and circadian rhythm disturbances contribute significantly to both DES and myopization. Diagnostic strategies and potential preventive measures are discussed with consideration of age-related differences in clinical presentation.
