Abstract
Every year, users of personal computers, smartphones and other electronic devices during occupational activities and everyday life increase in number — that causes stable fatigue of visual analyzer. The article presents results of study concerning functional state of visual analyzer after preventive measures using low intensity laser radiation. Findings are that the method removing visual fatigue acts not only on retina, but also on eye accomodation apparatus. Applying this method in individuals long using various electronic devices prevents myopia and can serve as prophylactic measure in practical medicine.
