The average prevalence of myopia and hypermetropia was 76.2% and 7.1%, respectively. Mean SE was shifted toward myopia (OD -1.5±0.2 D and OS -1.7±0.2). Minimal SE (OD -0.5±0.3 D and OS -0.8±0.3 D) was reported in adolescents with developed IA. SE in adolescents prone to IA was more myopic (OD -1.7±0.3 D and OS -1.9±0.3 D) than in adolescents without signs of IA (OD -1.7±0.4 D and OS -1.6±0.3 D). No significant intergroup differences were reported. No significant correlations between IA severity and refractive errors were revealed by correlation analysis (p=0.729). Meanwhile, a weak negative correlation between refraction and experience using a computer, smartphone, and the Internet (R=-0.11, p=0, 3; R=-0.06, p=0.6; R=-0.13, p=0.24, respectively) was detected. </p> <p> <b>Conclusion: </b>the high prevalence of myopia along with weak correlations between IA and the intensity of device use on the one hand and SE, on the other hand, does not illustrate the lack of a negative impact of information technology on the vision of children and adolescents, but once again establishes the opinion on the complexity of myopia development. </p> <p> <b>Keywords: </b>refraction, myopia, Internet addiction, adolescents, spherical equivalent. </p> <p> <b>For citation: </b>Mukhamadeev T.R., Akhmadeev R.R., Shaykhutdinova E.F., Khusniyarova A.R.
