The challenges posed by the digitization of all aspects of life are particularly relevant when it comes to addressing the impact the use of mobile devices-both for leisure and school activities- may have on children. In this article, we approach this problem from the unique challenges children present as spectacle users, and we propose the need to design specific ophthalmic lenses that take these challenges into account.

Digital vs hard copy: differences in reading 1/3
Click here to read the article
Various national and private sector educational systems in most societies are converging towards a full digitization of teaching resources, producing an increasing shift in the educational paradigm.
Regardless of the advantages that full digitization can provide within the educational field, we have to ask ourselves if the reading, visual, and cognitive
performance is the same between formats: digital vs. printed.
This has been a hot topic that has received much attention from various academic disciplines. In this series of three articles, we intend to address the issue from a multidisciplinary perspective—paying special attention to the implications that, from our point of view, are more relevant for the optometric practitioner. In this first article, we look at visual activities at school and the relationship between visual and academic abilities as we review the possible differences that may arise during reading in both formats.
