Développement de la vision et nouvelles technologies

New technologies increasingly apply in daily life. They can help us understand the development of sight in children. Such is the case of in vivo cerebral (position emission tomography, functional MRI, tractography, together with magneto-encephalography…) or ocular (OCT, PEV) imaging. Other computer and video technologies, notably video games, are widely used, particularly by children and adolescents in daily life. However, they lead to eventual consequences on the development of visual, ocular motor and attentional systems. Nevertheless, the extent of such consequences is not well known in view of their intricacy and the intervention of other cognitive or refractive factors. This is the same for that which concerns 3D films and virtual reality. Finally, a particular recommendation should be made regarding the use of new technologies for the rehabilitation of developmental problems of binocular sight. The preliminary results are interesting. However, these modern techniques may result in all sorts of excesses.
