Resumen

Introduction: The excessive use of social media has generated various sequelae on mental and visual-ocular health, leading to Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) due to screen overexposure. Objective: To analyze the influence of social media use on computer vision syndrome in adolescents in a Peruvian context. Methods: A quantitative, hypothetical-deductive, transactional, correlational-causal study was conducted with a sample of 126 adolescents. To gather information about social media use, the ARS by Escurra and Salas was used. To verify the prevalence of CVS, the Computer Vision Syndrome Questionnaire by Seguí and collaborators was employed; both instruments were adapted to Google Forms format for online application. Results: A significant association was found between the time spent on social media (SM) and CVS (p=0.027<0.05); additionally, a significant impact of Social Media Addiction (SMA) on CVS (p=0.000<0.01), visual symptoms (p=0.000<0.01), ocular symptoms (p=0.000<0.01), and asthenopic symptoms (p=0.003<0.01) was evidenced. Conclusions: The study demonstrates a clear connection between excessive use of social media and CVS in Peruvian adolescents, highlighting the need for joint action by parents and educators to mitigate risks and promote healthy digital use.
