Abstract

Visual impairment due to refractive errors in school-aged children often goes undetected due to low awareness and limited access to eye health services, particularly in urban poor areas such as Warakas Village, North Jakarta. This community service program aimed to increase eye health awareness and provide vision screening, refractive error examination, and corrective spectacles to students of SDN 03, 05, and 07 Warakas and the surrounding community. The methods included eye health education, visual acuity screening using Snellen charts, objective and subjective refraction examinations by optometrists, and provision of corrective, protective, or reading spectacles. The activities were conducted on December 6–7, 2023, with a total of 1,200 participants, consisting of 1,046 elementary school students and 154 community members from the Kumaala Waste Bank. The results showed that the highest prevalence of refractive error was astigmatism (15.25%), followed by myopia (6.0%) and hypermetropia (4.67%). A total of 155 participants (12.92%) were diagnosed with presbyopia. Participants in need received spectacles according to their prescription. In conclusion, this program successfully increased eye health awareness, detected refractive errors early, and provided spectacle intervention to the Warakas community.
