| dc.description | The present research aims to determine the relationship between the increase in refractive defects and the use of electronic devices in adolescents in the Nueva Esperanza school, Babahoyo, during the period from October 2024 to April 2025. In a context where the use of electronic screens has increased considerably, especially among young people, this research seeks to determine whether there is a direct relationship between prolonged exposure to electronic devices and the increase in visual problems in the Ciudadela Nueva Esperanza, Babahoyo. Around the world, and aggravated by the pandemic, an epidemic of vision disorders related to electronic devices has been on the rise, with refractive errors being the most common in the youth population. Methodology: The study is based on a correlational level design with a quantitative, cross-sectional approach, field study with a deductive method using techniques such as surveys, refraction and direct observation to collect data. The sample under study is made up of 50 adolescents who reside in the area. The results show that a large part of the adolescents surveyed, 56%, use screens in close vision for more than 6 hours a day, followed by 30% who use screens for 4 - 5 hours, which is directly associated with symptoms such as blurred vision, eye fatigue, eye pain and excessive blinking. In addition, the prevalence of refractive errors such as myopia with 40% and astigmatism with 30%, diagnosed with ocular refraction. | es_ES |

| dc.description.abstract | La presente investigación tiene como objetivo determinar la relación entre el aumento de los defectos refractivos y el uso de los dispositivos electrónicos en los adolescentes de la ciudadela Nueva Esperanza, Babahoyo, durante el periodo de octubre de 2024 a abril de 2025. En un contexto donde el uso de pantallas electrónicas ha aumentado considerablemente, especialmente entre los jóvenes, esta investigación busca determinar si existe relación directa entre la exposición prolongada a los dispositivos electrónicos y el aumento de problemas visuales en la Ciudadela Nueva Esperanza, Babahoyo. Por todo el mundo, y agravado por la pandemia, una epidemia de trastornos en la visión relacionados con dispositivos electrónicos ha ido en aumento, siendo los errores refractivos los más comunes en la población juvenil. Metodología: El estudio se basa en un diseño nivel correlacional con enfoque cuantitativo, de corte transversal, estudio de campo con método deductivo utilizando técnicas como encuestas, refracción y observación directa para recolectar datos. La muestra objeto de estudio está conformada por los 50 adolescentes que residen en la zona. Los resultados muestran que una gran parte de los adolescentes encuestados el 56% utilizan las pantallas en visión próxima más de 6 horas diarias, siguiéndole con un 30% que utilizan las pantallas de 4 - 5 horas, lo cual se asocia directamente con los síntomas como visión borrosa, cansancio ocular, dolor ocular y parpadeo excesivo. Además, la prevalencia de defectos refractivos como la miopía con un 40% y el astigmatismo con un 30%, diagnosticados a través de la refracción ocular. | es_ES |
