Abstract

The past decade has seen the change of habits in several cultures. Today, children spend more time in front of the TV or playing videogames than years ago. However, the changes experienced by these habits about near-activities over the past decade remain unprecedented. The use of mobile phone or tablet has achieved a principal role in children habits, not only to have fun, but also to study, even encouraged by teachers. It is clear that these devices provide a lot of information and a more attractive way to learn different signatures such as History or Natural Sciences. However, this change in daily routine might result in a change of strabismus pathologies of children, and ophthalmologists should be aware of it.
