Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has had many impacts on various aspects of life, one of which is education. The education system has changed from face-to-face to online learning methods. Online learning methods make students more likely to use digital media such as computers, laptops or mobile phones. The use of digital media that occurs continuously and without being balanced with sufficient knowledge can certainly have impacts on eye health. One form of eye health problems that often arise due to the use of digital media is computer vision syndrome (CVS). Purposes: Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a study to see the picture of students' knowledge about this disorder. Methods: The method used in this research is cross-sectional descriptive. Result: The mean age of the respondents was 19.91±1.648 years. A total of 82.7% of respondents complained of having more than 5 symptoms and as many as 98.5% had CVS. 90.6% of respondents complained about fatigue eyes, followed by 80.5% complained about eye strain symptoms and 80.5% complained about headaches, 42.9% of respondents have a lack of knowledge about CVS and only 15.4% of respondents have a good level of knowledge about CVS. Conclusion: It can be concluded that respondents’ lack of knowledge about CVS is the cause of the high prevalence of CVS in students, so they don’t know how to prevent this CVS. Therefore, it is necessary to take actions to increase students' knowledge about this disorder, so that it doesn’t cause negative impacts on eye health in the future.

ABSTRAK Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) merupakan kumpulan gejala yang muncul akibat penggunaan laptop atau komputer. Penggunaan laptop atau menatap layar laptop lebih dari 2 jam dan tidak diselingi dengan mengistirahatkan mata selama 15 menit, dapat menimbulkan gejala CVS. Adanya pembelajaran daring di Indonesia, dan diberlakukannya pembatasan sosial saat pandemi Covid-19 sejak bulan Maret 2020, menyebabkan seluruh fasilitas pendidikan menghentikan mengalihkan sistem pembelajaran tatap muka menjadi sistem pembelajaran dalam jaringan (daring). Pembelajaran daring yang biasanya dilakukan selama 4-6 jam dalam sehari (tidak termasuk pebugasan di luar jam sekolah), tentu dapat memberikan dampak buruk bagi kesehatan mata siswa. Tujuan kegiatan ini adalah meningkatkan pemahaman siswa tentang cara pencegahan CVS sehingga dapat membantu siswa untuk berperan aktif dalam upaya pencegahan terjadinya CVS. Metode kegiatan pengabdian ini yang digunakan dalam kegiatan ini adalah memberikan penyuluhan melalui ruang Zoom tentang pencegahan CVS menggunakan media power point yang dilengkapi gambar-gambar dan juga video roleplay mengatasi CVS secara mandiri, serta pemberian leaflet tentang pencegahan CVS. Hasil dari kegiatan ini adalah pengetahuan siswa tentang pencegahan CVS meningkat. Kata kunci: computer vision syndrom, pembelajaran daring.  ABSTRACT Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) is a collection of symptoms that arise from using a laptop or computer. Using a computer or staring at a laptop screen for more than 2 hours and not resting your eyes for 15 minutes can cause CVS symptoms. The existence of online learning in Indonesia, and the imposition of social restrictions during the Covid-19 pandemic since March 2020, have caused all educational facilities to stop turning face-to-face learning systems into online learning systems. Online learning, which is usually carried out for 4-6 hours a day (excluding work outside school hours), can undoubtedly harm students' eye health. This activity aims to increase students' understanding of how to prevent CVS so that it can help students take an active role in preventing CVS. This activity's method is to provide counseling through the Zoom room about CVS prevention using PowerPoint media equipped with pictures and video roleplay to overcome CVS independently and give leaflets on CVS prevention. The result of this activity was that the knowledge of MTsN 1 Lumajang students about CVS prevention increased. Keywords: computer vision syndrome, online learning

Introduction: This study aimed to discover and document the potential of visual and ocular sequelae of computer vision syndrome (CVS) among medical students. Methods: This cross-sectional case-control study was conducted on medical students (n=4030) of five universities in Egypt. All students completed a specially designed and validated CVS questionnaire survey (CVS-F3). Students with ≥5 CVS symptoms constituted a risk group (n=352), while students with 1-4 CVS symptoms constituted a low-symptoms group (n=3067). Students from the control and risk groups were examined using objective methods, such as visual acuity, subjective refraction, dry eye disease tests, and anterior segment and fundus examinations. Students who complained of visual blur underwent multifocal electroretinography mfERG examinations (mfERG group). Results: The CVS-F3 indicated that 84.8% of students had complaints that might be related to CVS, however, our ophthalmic examination group revealed only a 56% CVS prevalence rate. The most common single screen type used by 70.4% of students was the smartphone, and the most common complaint was headache (50.2%). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that CVS was significantly associated with increased screen-hours, including >2 screen-hours daily (odds ratio [OR], 2.48; P<0.0001), >2 screen-hours at night (OR, 1.79; P=0.003), and ≥3 screen-years (OR, 1.69; P=0.006). In the mfERG group, 37% demonstrated reduced amplitudes of mfERG rings and quadrants, indicating reduced foveal responses. Conclusion: CVS-questionnaires overestimate the true CVS prevalence and sequelae, which could be accurately detected by objective ophthalmic examination. Smartphones primarily caused CVS among students, with CVS severity increasing in correlation with shorter eye-to-screen distance and frequent use. Contact lens wearing doubled the risk of CVS development and augmented its severity. CVS might affect macular integrity with screen-induced foveal dysfunction.
