[The effect of training with computer equipment on the visual analyzer of 1st-grade pupils]

Examination are carried out on 64 school children Ist class from school "104", town of Sofia where computer training on mathematics and mother tongue is introduced in the frames of pedagogic experiment. The studies are performed parallelly at traditional and computer lessons, realized in two variants (with one and two school hours daily). In order to establish the functional status of the visual analyzer during computer training the following methods are used: studying the distance of the nearest point for clear vision (punctum proximum), stability of clear vision, threshold of the electric eye sensitivity, critical frequency of fusing of the light flickerings. A full preliminary ophthalmological examination is made by "Vision test", as well as chronometric control of each student to establish the real time of work with computers. Taken into consideration are also the data for illumination of the working places in the computer studies and class rooms where the traditional school hours are held. The analysis of the data received shows that the computer training (1 and 2 computer lessons daily) with schoolchildren, Ist class, has no unfavourable effect on the functional status of the visual analyzer in the limits of study hours up to 25 minutes.
