Despite its promising applications, concerns about safety, especially for children under 14, persist. ๐ฌ A recent review underscores the need for further research to ensure VR remains a safe and beneficial tool for young patients. ๏ธโ๏ธ๐๐๐ฒ ๐๐๐ค๐๐๐ฐ๐๐ฒ๐ฌ โข Limited evidence suggests short-term VR use might be safe for supervised children under 14. โข Mild cybersickness (nausea, dizziness) is a possibility. โข Double vision could occur in children with pre-existing amblyopia but disappear once the use of VR is stopped. ๐ฅ ๐๐ฎ๐ญ๐ก๐จ๐ซ๐ฌ:ย Charlotte Bexson,ย Geralyn Oldhamย &ย Jo Wray ๐ ๐๐ข๐ ๐ง ๐ฎ๐ฉ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ง๐๐ฐ๐ฌ๐ฅ๐๐ญ๐ญ๐๐ซ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐ฆ๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐๐๐ซ๐๐ก ๐ฎ๐ฉ๐๐๐ญ๐๐ฌ! https://shorturl.at/hmK27 #VR #ChildrensHealth #research #sciencecommunication #insights #visualabstract #graphicabstract #pharma
