“…This can cause an increase in temperature in the front eye chamber which will increase the production of intraocular fluid which can lead to myopia (Pavel et al, 2023). This research is also in line with other studies which state that different brightness levels also have a great effect on the human eye, when we use low brightness or in brighter areas, our eyes need more accommodation which causes eye strain, which also causes fatigue and headaches (Karouta & Ashby, 2015;Qasim et al, 2021). Misdirected light and very strong lighting cause glare on objects.…”

Background. Online learning is a solution to inhibit the transmission of viruses during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, students can be exposed to prolonged use of gadgets which can cause myopia. This study aimed to determine the relationship between gadget use and the incidence of myopia in students at SMA Muhammadiyah 1 Pekajangan Pekalongan during online learning. Methods. This study was a correlational study with a cross-sectional approach. The sample was 121 students from grades XI and XII selected by convenience sampling technique. Data were obtained using an online questionnaire. Chi Square test was used in bivariate analysis. Binary logistic regression was used in multivariate analysis. Results. The incidence of myopia in SMA Muhammadiyah 1 Pekajangan Pekalongan was 43.8%. Students who used gadgets with a duration of > 6 hours were at risk of myopia by 9.733 times compared to students who used gadgets <= 6 hours (p-value 0.001). Compared to students who used gadgets with moderate light intensity, students who used gadgets with bright intensity had a 50.058 times greater risk (p-value 0.002), students who used gadgets with dim light intensity had a 6.861 times greater risk (p-value 0.015). Students who used gadgets with a distance < 30 cm had a risk of myopia of 15.030 times compared to students who used gadgets with a distance >= 30 cm (p-value 0.013). Conclusion. There is an association between gadget use (in terms of duration, light intensity, and distance) and the incidence of myopia, even after controlling for genetic factor.

“…This implies that majority of students are using their electronic devices within unaccepted ranges that will affect their visual acuity in the future. Our study shows that, using electronic devices affects visual acuity which goes with study by Mahar et al, (2021) in Pakistan. In that case we should educate the students about the complications of using the electronic devices on excessive way, even if our questioner shows mild symptoms of the long-term use, these mild symptoms can be worse with time.…”

Refractive errors, especially myopia, have been more common in recent years and are continuing to rise internationally. Information on the causes of vision decline provide a solid foundation for recommendations in public health policy, such as national budgeting and health-care planning, as well as scientific research. Objective: Our aim is to assess the relation between Visual acuity and time of studying on electronic devices among deferent academic level of the medical student. This study will be cross-sectional. The target population is medical students' males and females in Riyadh, KSA with a total sample of 253. Methods: A cross-sectional design was conducted; the study was based on a visual acuity examination and questionnaire that is prepared especially for it. The data was cleared, coded and entered by using (SPSS). Result: The study included 253 medical students who completed the visual examination and the study questionnaire in which 53.8 %were female and 46.2% were males mean age of participants was 22 years. We found that 32.42% of participant had 6/6 of visual acuity. Conclusion: The study concludes that there is association between visual acuity and the time spent on studying using electronic devices.

“…Based on published literature, while-in-bed screen use is a common phenomenon that elicits many negative effects, such as increased risks of neck and vision problems [ 36 , 37 ]. Meanwhile, while-in-bed screen use may be associated with sleep delay, a problematic behavior that harms sleep health [ 21 ].…”

Bedtime smartphone use is an emerging issue that threatens the sleep health of children and young adults. Physical activity can have numerous health benefits, including reducing problematic or addictive behavior. However, the role of daily physical activity in reducing bedtime smartphone use is understudied. Hence, we conducted a one-day cross-sectional on the weekend (21–22 May 2021) to investigate the associations between daytime physical activity, bedtime smartphone use, and sleep quality. A total of 828 college students were recruited in two colleges. Their daytime physical activity indices were captured, including self-reported physical activity duration, intensity, volume, and smartphone-monitored walking steps. The participants reported whether they used smartphone while lying in bed (before sleep) and whether they delayed sleep due to smartphone use. Their while-in-bed screen time (duration) and subsequent sleep quality were also measured with self-report and a numeric rating scale, respectively. The results suggested that daytime physical activity duration was associated with lower chances of while-in-bed smartphone use (OR = 0.907, p = 0.019) and smartphone-related sleep delay (OR = 0.932, p = 0.014). However, no significant association was found between physical activity indices and while-in-bed screen time or sleep quality. These findings may contribute to understanding the reciprocal relationship between physical activity and smartphone use and highlighting the potential of controlling problematic bedtime smartphone use through daily physical activity. Future research is warranted to examine the associations with extra objective measures.
