Outline of Final Research Achievements

Screen time survey in infant ophthalmology examination suggests that the visual environment of the child might affect the eye refraction and visual acuity. Further, investigate the relationship between the usage status of digital devices and visual function, and create guidelines for guidance.
The occupations that surround children, such as childcare and early childhood education and public health nurses, exchanged views on the impact of digital devices on children and shared the issues of impact on visual function. Regarding the necessity of health guidance regarding the use of digital devices, it is possible to gain an awareness of the importance of it in the fields of childcare, early childhood education, and health, and it is expected to continue to hold eye health classes for young children.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

2019年5月、WHOは小児の健康な成長に関するガイドラインの中で、デジタル機器の使用時間の基準として、2歳未満ではScreen timeは推奨されない、4歳ではScreen timeは1日1時間未満とすることを定めた。しかし、デジタル機器が幼児の視覚機能に与える影響については明らかにされていない。本研究は、視覚の感受性期の子どもがスマホ画面の刺激から受ける眼の影響を実証し、幼児の眼をデジタル機器から守ることを目的としている。視覚機能は就学後の学習および身体能力に大きな影響を与える。子どもたちの学習へのつまづきを未然に防止し、子どもたちの健全な成長を助長するものである。
