| Student Bio | My name is Amelia Anderson, and I am a public health student at FSU Panama City. My concentration is pre-optometry, and I aim to further my education at the University of Alabama at Birmingham to become a Doctor in Optometry. I am passionate about helping others, especially through participating in volunteer work, representing the student body, or mentoring those in need. Now, I hope to begin my research journey and career in the field of optometry by attempting to understand the basis of eye diseases from a public health perspective. |
| Poster Title | Exploring the Effects of Technology on the Development of Myopia |
| Abstract | With the ongoing rise of myopia, experts are beginning to question the possible causes of this disease. From a public health perspective, research is conducted to understand possible causes to then implement a change in the population towards healthier eyes and a healthier society. By exploring the causes of myopia and the developmental record of this disease, the cause can be traced back to the overuse of smart devices, screens, and technology. Though there are several factors that affect the onset of myopia, screen time is suspected to play a significant role in the future of declining eyesight. By refuting or supporting this claim, better insight is available to support the onset of myopia, but further research is necessary to confirm these findings. |
