Abstract

Introduction: The frequency and the trend of smartphone use increase rapidly, and 85% of Malaysians owns a smartphone and spend an average of 187 minutes per day to use the smartphone. Aims: To evaluate the potential effects of smartphone use on Accommodation and Vergence of the users. Methods: A total of 18 articles were selected in this review following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines, and the research question was formulated based on the population, intervention, control, and outcomes (PICO) method. This review was registered with PROSPERO (reference number: CRD42022293325). Data Sources: Databases namely PubMed, Web of Science, and Science-Direct were used in the article search using appropriate keywords, phrases, and Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) terms. The inclusion criteria of this review were journal articles published from January 2010 until December 2021 with full articles or abstract in English available. Results: Accommodative function has been reported to changed significantly with 20 minutes of smartphone use, with reduced amplitude, facility, relative and increased lag. In addition, vergence function has been reported to be altered significantly with receded near point of convergence. Conclusion: Smartphone use has an effect on the accommodation and vergence parameters among adults. Assessments of accommodation and vergence parameters need to be conducted in patients with the symptoms of Computer Vision Syndrome to prevent vision problems. Future reviews are required in younger cohorts with various smartphone features.

智能手机对住宿和智能手机使用参数的系统评价

导读:智能手机的使用频率和趋势迅速增加，85%的马来西亚人拥有智能手机，平均每天使用智能手机的时间为187分钟。目的:评估智能手机使用对用户适应和融合的潜在影响。方法:本综述按照系统评价和荟萃分析首选报告项目(PRISMA)指南，共选择18篇文章，并根据人群、干预、对照和结果(PICO)方法制定研究问题。本综述已在PROSPERO注册(参考编号:CRD42022293325)。数据来源:在文章搜索中使用了PubMed、Web of Science和Science- direct数据库，使用了适当的关键词、短语和医学主题标题(MeSH)术语。本综述的纳入标准是2010年1月至2021年12月发表的期刊文章，并提供英文全文或摘要。结果:据报道，智能手机使用20分钟后，调节功能发生了显著变化，幅度减小、便利、相对滞后和滞后增加。此外，据报道，收敛函数有明显的变化，收敛点附近变小。结论:智能手机使用对成人的适应参数和收敛参数有影响。有计算机视觉综合征症状的患者需要评估调节和辐散参数，以防止出现视力问题。需要对具有各种智能手机功能的年轻人群进行未来的评估。
