Abstract

The light environment with respect to time of the exposure is shown to affect the formation of myopia in the young generation in a number of countries that effectively implemented energy-saving lamps. There are both considered mechanisms of the negative impact of artificial light on the human eye and formed the requirements for an optimal light environment which will contribute to the reducing the risk of the development of myopia. The spectral composition of the light environment must be adequate spectrum of sunlight with color temperatures below 4000K, the light levels should be chosen by the principle for comfort lighting.
