Ultrasound biomicroscopy study of accommodative state in Smartphone abusers.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Addiction to Smartphone usage has psychological and physical impacts. However, the state of spasm of accommodation is unclear in Smartphone abusers.

Methods

We performed a cross-sectional study among adults aged 18-35 years between October 2016 and December 2018. Forty participants were Smartphone abusers according to the Smartphone addiction questionnaire, and 40 participants were non users. We measured auto refraction precycloplegia and postcycloplegia at far for all participants to evaluate the state of spasm of accommodation. We assessed the ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) parameters including anterior chamber angle (ACA).

Results

There was a significant difference in the odds of having spasm of accommodation between Smartphone abusers compared to non-us
