Abstract

Purpose: to study modern risk factors for the development of visual functions disorders in childhood, their medical and social aspects from the point of view of the burden of ophthalmic pathology formation, as a basis for the activation of medical and preventive technologies for the prevention of visual loss in pre-school and school age.

Materials and Methods. The materials for the research were publications of the results of modern scientific research on the study of medical and social aspects of preserving the ophthalmic health of children, the results of the study the peculiarities of risk factors formation for the development of ophthalmic pathology in childhood. The methods for carrying out scientific research were: system approach and system analysis, as well as content analysis.

Results. Made it possible to focus on modern risk factors for the formation of ophthalmic pathology in children. It has been proven that compliance with the optimal periodicity of medical and preventive examinations is necessary for the majority of ophthalmological nosologies diagnosed since childhood and involves long-term supervision. In children of preschool, preschool and early school age, efforts at early prevention and diagnosis of such ophthalmological nosologies as: refraction anomalies (astigmatism, hypermetropia, myopia) are justified. strabismus and amblyopia; accommodation disorders; lack of convergence.

Conclusions. The important medico-social significance of visual functions disorders in childhood emphasizes the expediency of applying measures to level the managed risk factors against the background of interdisciplinary interaction of doctors, educators, the child himself and his family. This approach allows to prevent the negative impact of ophthalmic pathology on academic performance, activate physical development, and promote harmonious personality development.
