One of the most important changes was in the field of education. Many education systems around the world changed from face-to-face to face-to-face and virtual. Students were forced to spend too much time at home looking at digital screens. Long-term presence in the closed environment of houses led to many problems, including obesity, mental and intellectual problems, and most importantly, the increase in the incidence of myopia. In the meantime, students in rural and low-income areas were forced to attend in-person education in schools due to the lack of non-attendance education facilities. We believe that the mentioned problems, including myopia, in these people are due to exposure to risk factors that were less in the other group. 291   287 274 274
