Abstract

The aim of this study was to assess the unsafe effects of harmful radiation, especially blue light and ultraviolet rays on patients' eyes aged (15-25) years during us exposure. It was carried out at the optics consulting clinic of the College of Health and Medical Technology in Baghdad/Iraq. In this research, (50) patients were enrolled, 28 males and 22 females, with their ages ranging from (15- 25) years. The smart devices are used by all patients for 2 to 5 hours daily. The majority of the patients were middle school and university students, accounting for 94 % of the patient study population, and these patients were using their mobile devices for more than (3-4) hours per day continuously due to internet browsing, gaming, and e-learning for all students. The majority of patients within the age range (15- 20) years, who were not wearing multi-coated goggles, were shown to be a significant source of eye problems (80%). After giving the patients the required instructions to minimize radiation effects, it was found that the majority of them were wearing blue-cut spectacles. The results showed that (62%) of the patients in the age groups (21-25) years were wearing spectacles after following the prescribed instructions. The term "plastic" refers to patients who were wearing prescription spectacles without any protection from the radiations (Filter) emitted by these smart devices.
