<![CDATA[High gadget use among children and adolescents may cause eye health problems such as digital eye strain, dry eyes, and myopia. Junior high school students are at an age of active digital device use, making health education on this issue important. This community service activity aimed to improve students' knowledge about the impact and prevention of gadget-related eye health problems. The activity was conducted at SMP Islam Al-Azhar 48 Samarinda on 16 September 2026 in two stages: developing educational media (PPT and leaflet), followed by health education using lecture and discussion methods, preceded by a pretest and followed by a posttest among 62 respondents. The results showed a meaningful increase in knowledge, from 61.29% of respondents in the sufficient category before the education session to 82.26% in the good category afterward. The activity was concluded to be effective in improving students' knowledge and awareness of eye health, and continued support from the school and health workers is recommended.]]>
