dc.description.abstractBackground: During the COVID – 19 pandemic, there was a significant shift in the everyday life and work habits of students. The aim of this study was to evaluate the lifestyle changes made by students due to remote studies and to consider the effects to the vision, that these changes might cause. Methodology and perspective: A survey was conducted with 126 participants. They were asked about their lifestyle changes, differences in eyesight and new symptoms, noticed since the beginning of remote studies. Also, the measures taken to preserve eyesight were taken into account. Based on recent studies about eye health, speculations about long – term affects were made. Results: The survey concluded, that since the beginning of remote work, 31.8% of the students noticed reduced eyesight, 69.8% dryness, 85.7% eye tension and 78.6% eye soreness. Also, symptoms such as redness and blurriness were reported. 100% responded, that the time spent working with a computer increased significantly to about 8.4 hours per day, which might be a significant factor in development and progression of myopia and computer vision syndrome. It was noted, that a significant decrease of physical activity, reported by 78.6% of the respondents may negatively impact eyesight due to reduced perfusion. Other factors, such as air quality were taken into account, noting, that good quality air, moisture levels in the workspace as well as regular breaks and eye exercises might help decrease negative eye symptoms, although their prevalence among students was not significant (3.2%). Conclusions: Given the significant change of lifestyle, there is an increase of factors, that may negatively impact eyesight, therefore it is crucial to use measures of prevention.en_US
