Abstract
Background: Visual impairment is a very important public health problem because it can cause blindness. The two main causes are uncorrected refractive errors and unoperated cataracts. Early diagnosis and accurate treatment are the only methods to prevent visual impairment. Objective: To carry out early detection of visual impairment by eye examination. Method: The target of this activity is residents around the UNIMUS campus. Visual acuity examination with a Snellen chart is carried out by general practitioners and junior doctors, followed by further examination with a slit lamp and free consultation with an ophthalmologist. After the examination, the patient receives medication and recommendations according to the complaint. Result: This activity was attended by 88 participants. Based on the results of the examination, most of the participants were aged 20-29 years and had myopia, presbyopia, dry eyes, and asthenopia. Conclusion: The majority of eye disorders that are complained of are caused by the behavior of using gadgets. Education needs to be carried out regarding healthy behavior in using gadgets and eye exercises.
