Abstract

Objective: Determine the relationship between the use of technological tools and visual problems in medical students at a university in Cajamarca in 2024.Materials and Methods: Basic type study with a quantitative approach, non-experimental, cross-sectional and correlational design. Two questionnaires were applied to a sample of 165 MH students, the first on the use of HT, prepared by Quinto M. in 2018, consists of 6 questions, with a Cronbach's Alpha of 0.88 and the second, “Questionnaire of Visual Disorders (Symptoms of the user of data display screens)”, prepared by Flores and Cárdenas in 2019, which has 14 items and a Cronbach Alpha of 0.734.Results: Significance was identified between the use of HT and visual problems (p = 0.0156). Likewise, cell phone use was significant in relation to burning or itchy eyes (p = 0.0003), and the use of laptop computers with the same symptom (p = 0.003).Conclusion: The factors associated with PV addressed aspects such as age, sex, year of studies, socioeconomic level, but were not significant. However, significance was observed in the use of HT and PV in MH students (p = 0.0156). Thus, excessive use of HT predisposes us to developing PV, so these findings help us reflect and take measures to prevent the development of PV.
