Abstract

Dry eye disease is a disease with a fairly high prevalence worldwide. Old age and women are dominant risk factors for this disease. Other risk factors are systemic diseases such as Diabetes Mellitus and Hypercholesterolemia. External factors can also trigger the onset of this disease, such as ultraviolet rays, low humidity, wind, dust, and pollution, such as cigarette smoke, vehicle exhaust, or pollution from industry. In addition, excessive use of electronic devices such as mobile phones, computers, and laptops can cause the eyes to become tired quickly. Indonesia, which is a country with a lot of sunlight, pollution in big cities, and smoking habits, as well as the high number of DM and cholesterol patients, causes the prevalence of Dry Eye Disease in Indonesia to be quite high. The Community Service Program carried out by the Faculty of Medicine, Trisakti University, with the theme "Education, Eye Examination, Blood Sugar, Cholesterol and Uric Acid in the Sukmajaya District Community, Depok, West Java" was held in March 2023. Residents invited to this activity were those aged 50 years and over, with 50 participants with a female to male ratio of 58% to 42%. Residents who experienced dry eyes were 14%, those with high blood sugar were 20%, those with high cholesterol were 46%, and those with high uric acid were 54%.

Abstract

Refractive errors are one of the causes of blindness in the world. More than 2 billion people wear glasses worldwide and more than 60% have uncorrected refractive errors. Lack of parental knowledge about this disorder, excessive use of electronic devices such as smartphones, especially for playing games, is a trigger for the onset of refractive errors. Examination of children is somewhat difficult to do, so periodic screening is necessary. Objective: This Community Service Program aims to increase parents' knowledge of this disorder and the examination of refractive errors in school-age children. Methods: The implementation of the activity consisted of counseling to 62 parents of students and examination of refractive errors in 93 students in grades 4 and 5. Results: There was an increase in parents' knowledge about Refractive Errors and the dangers of excessive use of smartphone electronic devices. Refractive errors were found in 65.59% of students, of which 81.97% did not have glasses as a visual aid. We make free glasses for students in need.
