“…Regarding double vision among digital device users, data on the risk factors are lacking, even though double vision may indicate a more severe problem (convergence insufficiency) ( Alvarez et al, 2021 ) aggravated during intense close work ( Barnhardt et al, 2012 ). Studies have demonstrated a significant association between double vision and both short term (less than 4 h a day ( Nunes et al, 2018 )) and long term (more than 6 h a day ( Comério et al, 2017 )) use of the computer. The finding that the majority of the schoolchildren with double vision have had an eye examination prior to participating in the study suggests that the ocular complaints may have been resolved as the children may not have coped with the visual demands if the complaints of double vision were unresolved.…”

Background The increase in online learning during the pandemic has been linked to various ocular complaints. This study determined the prevalence and factors associated with ocular complaints among schoolchildren aged 12–19 years during the COVID-19 lockdown in Trinidad and Tobago (T&T). Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted between January and May 2021, during the COVID-19 lockdown in T&T among secondary school students studying remotely. A two-stage cluster sampling method was employed. A modified web-based Computer Vision Syndrome questionnaire was administered to students. Data on demography, duration of digital device use, and ocular complaints were collected, and multilevel logistic regression was used to determine factors associated with ocular complaints among school children, 12–19 years of age in T&T. Results A total of 435 schoolchildren (mean age, standard deviation, 15.2 ± 1.9 years range 12–19 years) responded to the questionnaire. The prevalence of self-reported symptoms of headache, blurred vision, dry eyes, itchy eyes, and double vision were 75.0%, 65.1%; 56.8%; 46.4%; and 33.5%, respectively. Schoolchildren aged 18–19 years, those that used spectacles for correction of their refractive errors, and spent more than 6 h on average on digital devices, reported a high prevalence of any ocular complaints. Analysis also revealed that age (14–15 years) was associated with dry eyes, blurred vision, and headaches, while gender (more prevalently females) was associated with blurred vision and headache. Those that had an eye examination in the last year and schoolchildren that took action to resolve ocular complaints were more likely to experience nearly all ocular complaints. Conclusions During the COVID-19 lockdown, over three in four students in T&T reported ocular complaints from digital devices for online learning. Tailored interventional messages to reduce all forms of ocular complaints should target older students, particularly females, those who laid down when learning online via their devices and people who regularly examine their eyes.

“…Consequentemente, há uma redução na quantidade de piscadas por minuto, aumentando também a evaporação do filme lacrimal, com redução do nível de umidificação e no tempo de ruptura lacrimal, surgindo os sintomas de visão embaçada, olho seco, vermelho, irritado e demais sintomas astenópicos. (16) Além disso, este estudo identificou maior chance de ocorrência de sintomas astenópicos em docentes que também usam telas para lazer (RC de 7.450), especialmente se for por tempo prolongado. Além disso, com maior tempo de tela, tem-se, também, como consequência, um maior tempo sentado.…”
