Abstract

In the conditions of higher professional education, great demands are placed on the health of students. The introduction of computer technologies into the learning process, the constant increase in the diverse information flow, the social conditions of students' life cause a significant strain on the mechanisms of adaptation of the body. This is clearly observed in first-year students who find it quite difficult to adapt to new educational and social conditions. The need to study a significant number of literary sources, prolonged work at the computer and the use of various electronic gadgets has a negative impact on the visual analyzer, causing its overstrain and further leading to a decrease in the quality of vision. Accordingly, the search for ways to eliminate or minimize the negative impact on the visual analyzer is relevant and the relevance will only increase over time, as electronic systems, computers and various gadgets are increasingly actively used.

The aim of the study is to determine the impact of the educational load on the functions of the visual sensory system of students.

The results of the study proved that the visual sensory system is an indicator of mental fatigue during training sessions. The natural process of adaptation stabilizes the functional state of the visual sensory system and causes less changes.

The results of the study can be used in the planning and organization of the educational process in educational institutions.
