However, the literature regarding prevention strategies for this phenomenon is scarce compared to that found for other conditions associated with the use of video terminals such as computer vision syndrome and dry eye syndrome. This review aims to compile the main prevention strategies for refractive errors, specifically myopia, associated with the use of electronic media. For this, a systematic rapid review of the literature in databases and gray literature databases was carried out, finding that the general recommendations focus on increasing outdoor exposure at least 120 minutes a day, maintaining a distance of at least 30 minutes. cm from the device screen, take breaksduring reading sessions and do blinking exercises, among others, as well as clinical measures such as the use of ophthalmic drops with atr...
