MEASURES FOR PROTECTING VISUAL AND AUDITORY ANALYZERS UNDER CONDITIONS OF MENTAL WORK

Abstract

Functional strain of the visual and auditory analyzers among individuals engaged in mental work represents one of the pressing issues in modern hygiene and occupational physiology. In recent years, the widespread adoption of digital technologies has led to increased visual load and acoustic exposure, resulting in decreased visual acuity, the development of “digital eye syndrome,” as well as functional impairments of the auditory analyzer. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), at least 2.2 billion people worldwide experience visionrelated problems, a substantial proportion of which are preventable. This literature review analyzes, based on scientific evidence, the hygienic factors affecting visual and auditory analyzers under conditions of mental work, their pathophysiological mechanisms, and effective preventive measures.
