The work system and learning activities from home that are widely carried out now due to the Covid-19 pandemic require us to carry out study activities, work, daily routines at home. A person can do work sitting in front of a computer or laptop for more than 8 hours a day, this situation causes vision problems, namely computer vision syndrome. Based on the problems above, it is necessary to carry out an outreach activity related to knowledge about CVS. This activity aims to improve the individual's health status, educate them to pay attention to eye health and add insight by providing education related to CVS knowledge and preventive actions to reduce the incidence of CVS. The target of the activity is the community, especially young adults who in their daily activities use computers. The implementation activity was carried out on April 10, 2021 and was attended by 35 participants, most of whom were students. The results of this health service activity indicate an increase in participants' knowledge about this CVS disease. This can be seen from the increase in knowledge by 50% from the results of the pretest and posttest. This increase in knowledge is expected to make computer users more aware when these eye disorders appear and can seek help so that problems do not occur in the futureABSTRAK:Sistem kerja dan kegiatan pembelajaran dari rumah yang banyak dijalankan sekarang akibat pandemi Covid -19 menuntut kita melakukan aktivitas belajar, pekerjaan, rutinitas seharihari di rumah. Seseorang dapat melakukan pekerjaan duduk di depan komputer atau laptop lebih dari 8 jam sehari, keadaan ini menyebabkan penglihatan mengalami gangguan yaitu computer vison syndrome. Berdasarkan permasalahan di atas maka perlu melakukan suatu kegiatan penyuluhan terkait pengetahuan mengenai CVS ini. Kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan derajat kesehatan individu, mengedukasi agar memperhatikan kesehatan mata dan menambah wawasan dengan memberikan edukasi terkait pengetahuan CVS dan tindakan preventif untuk mengurangi kejadian CVS ini. Target kegiatan adalah masyarakat terutama dewasa muda yang dalam aktivitas sehari-hari menggunakan komputer. Kegiatan pelaksanaan dilakukan pada tanggal 10 April 2021 dan diikuti oleh 35 orang peserta, yang sebagaian besar berupa mahasiswa. Hasil kegiatan bakti kesehatan ini menunjukkan adanya peningkatan pengetahuan peserta mengenai penyakit CVS ini. Hal ini terlihat dari adanya peningkatan pengetahuan sebesar 50% dari hasil pretes dan postes. Peningkatan pengetahuan ini diharapkan dapat membuat para pengguna komputer lebih menyadari bila munculnya kelainan – kelainan mata tersebut dan dapat mencari pertolongan sehingga tidak terjadi gangguan dikemudian hari
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has had many impacts on various aspects of life, one of which is education. The education system has changed from face-to-face to online learning methods. Online learning methods make students more likely to use digital media such as computers, laptops or mobile phones. The use of digital media that occurs continuously and without being balanced with sufficient knowledge can certainly have impacts on eye health. One form of eye health problems that often arise due to the use of digital media is computer vision syndrome (CVS). Purposes: Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a study to see the picture of students' knowledge about this disorder. Methods: The method used in this research is cross-sectional descriptive. Result: The mean age of the respondents was 19.91±1.648 years. A total of 82.7% of respondents complained of having more than 5 symptoms and as many as 98.5% had CVS. 90.6% of respondents complained about fatigue eyes, followed by 80.5% complained about eye strain symptoms and 80.5% complained about headaches, 42.9% of respondents have a lack of knowledge about CVS and only 15.4% of respondents have a good level of knowledge about CVS. Conclusion: It can be concluded that respondents’ lack of knowledge about CVS is the cause of the high prevalence of CVS in students, so they don’t know how to prevent this CVS. Therefore, it is necessary to take actions to increase students' knowledge about this disorder, so that it doesn’t cause negative impacts on eye health in the future.
Introduction: Floaters, or particles that appear to float in the visual field, are often subjective complaints that cause disruptive sensations in vision. Eye strain, which is a common symptom associated with prolonged use of digital screens, can lead to other visual disorders. However, there is limited research examining the relationship between eye strain and floaters. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between eyestrain and the occurrence of floaters in Kalam Kudus Senior High School. Methods: The study was conducted using a cross-sectional method with 62 respondents who extensively use electronic devices. Data on eye strain symptoms and the occurrence of floaters were collected using a standard questionnaire. Statistical analysis was performed to evaluate the relationship between eye strain and floaters. Results: The results of the study showed a significant relationship between eyestrain and the occurrence of floaters (p-value = 0.022). Students who reported eyestrain had a higher risk of experiencing floaters. Conclusion: Excessive use of digital screens and eye strain can contribute to the development of floaters in the high school student population.
