Abstract

Refractive disorders are one of the main causes of vision problems that can reduce an individual's quality of life, especially if they are not detected and addressed early. The community living in pesantren (Islamic boarding schools) often does not have adequate access to eye examination services, even though their learning and worship activities heavily rely on optimal vision function. This community service activity aims to conduct early detection of refractive disorders and vision problems through tentative refractive examinations at Pondok Pesantren Siraajul Ummah, Karangrahayu, Karangbahagia District, Bekasi Regency. The activity was conducted on February 20, 2022, targeting 100 people consisting of students and teachers. The examination included visual acuity screening and subjective refraction using a trial lens set and trial frame. The results showed that 30.5% of participants experienced myopia, 25.0% experienced astigmatism, 10.5% experienced hyperopia, and 42.0% experienced presbyopia. About 4.0% of participants were found to have organic eye disorders such as cataracts and pterygium, which were subsequently referred for further examination. These findings emphasize the importance of regular eye examinations in educational communities based in pesantren. Through this activity, participants not only received examination services but also education regarding the importance of maintaining eye health and the proper use of optical correction. This activity is expected to serve as a community-based promotive-preventive model for eye health in improving the vision health status of the pesantren community.
