%X In higher education, students face significant demands on their health, especially when adapting to new learning environments. The integration of computer technologies into education, the constant influx of information, and the social conditions that students experience place significant strain on the body’s adaptation mechanisms. This challenge is particularly evident among first-year students, who struggle with adjusting to both new academic and social situations. The need to study numerous sources, prolonged computer use, and reliance on electronic devices negatively affect the visual system, leading to strain and ultimately a decline in visual acuity. As the use of electronic systems, computers, and gadgets continues to grow, the need to explore solutions to mitigate their impact on the visual system becomes increasingly important. This study aims to assess the impact of educational workload on the functionality of students’ visual sensory systems. The findings indicate that the visual sensory system is a reliable indicator of mental fatigue during study sessions. Over time, the natural adaptation process stabilizes the system’s function, reducing further changes. These results can inform the planning and organization of educational programs in institutions.
