Abstract

Advances in information and communication technology over the past 20 years have led to a major transformation in how humans interact with their surroundings. The average time individuals spend using the internet through digital devices has reached more than 6 hours per day, with much of this time spent on screen time. This program also aims to educate the academic community on how to increase understanding of the importance of eye examinations and general eye health care by conducting screenings and eye examinations for educators and educational staff to prevent and detect eye disorders early. The scope of participants includes educational staff and teaching staff in the West Surabaya area, and the activity was carried out at Ciputra University in May 2024. The implementation method began with a general examination, an eye examination using an Auto Refracto Keratometer (ARK) device, and a Snellen Chart, which was diagnosed directly by an Ophthalmologist. The results of the examination were processed using a quantitative descriptive test method in the form of data tabulation by comparing the number of devices used with the duration of use. The results of community service, participants who had the most eye disorders were multi-device users and for a duration of more than 2 hours, therefore it is necessary to carry out regular eye screening, and limit the number of digital devices used simultaneously, and implement prevention of eye damage.
