Computer vision syndrome. Announcement of Brochures for specialists.
Foreword.
Computer vision syndrome (CVS) attracts the attention of a large number of specialists.
And although the term “computer visual syndrome” itself appeared 25 years ago, the attitude towards this syndrome is still ambiguous.
Our colleagues, engineers and designers, are convinced of the harmlessness of modern displays and sincerely wonder why doctors suddenly started talking in unison about “some kind of syndrome.”
The bewilderment of the “techies” is partly confirmed by the fact that there is still no such disease as “computer visual syndrome” in ICD-10. However, ophthalmologists, neurologists, psychologists and even psychiatrists, as well as pediatricians and ophthalmopediatricians, do not get tired of repeating the harmful effects of computer work on the body of children and adults.
This problem became especially urgent after the appearance of mobile devices and the widespread introduction of displays in all areas of knowledge, education and just human communication.
In the near future, the information received through electronic media will increase significantly.
It is not for nothing that computer visual syndrome is called “visual”, and we, ophthalmologists, opticians and optometrists, are well aware of the manifestations of this syndrome.
In this brochure, we have collected ideas from various specialists, primarily ophthalmologists, about computer visual syndrome, its etiology, pathogenesis, prevention and treatment. This treatment should be comprehensive.
We are sure that everyone who reads our brochure “Computer visual syndrome: a quarter of a century of contradictions” will be able to form their own idea of the problem and get acquainted with the tactics of managing patients with GLC.
We would like to thank our colleagues and friends for their help in preparing the brochure, the text of which will traditionally be published in the public domain on the organum-visus.ru portal and the Children’s vision website, www.detskoezrenie.ru
