• Summary: ABSTRAK Pola pembelajaran di Pesantren yang sangat padat dan menyebabkan banyaknya aktifitas baca dekat mempunyai pengaruh pada kejadian gangguan refraksi. Gangguan refraksi ini sebagian besar tidak disadari oleh siswa dan keluhan baru muncul bila gangguan refraksi ini sudah sangat mengganggu proses belajar, sehingga deteksi dini adanya gangguan refraksi sangat diperlukan. Unit Kesehatan Pondok (UKP) yang telah ada di pesantren saat ini belum berfungsi maksimal untuk mendeteksi gejala gangguan refraksi pada siswa. Tujuan pengabdian masyarakat adalah untuk meningkatkan peran Unit Kesehatn Pondok dalam deteksi dini gejala gangguan refraksi pada siswa pesantren Al-Aziziah Samarinda. Metode yang digunakan adalah dengan edukasi tentang gejala gangguan refraksi, skrining kasus gangguan refraksi, memberikan rujukan ke puskesmas atau pemberian kaca mata dan pembentukan tim deteksi dini gangguan refraksi yang terintegrasi. Dari hasil kegiatan skrining didapati beberapa orang santri putri yang mengalami gangguan refraksi. Pemberian kaca mata gratis diberikan umtuk santri yang membutuhkan. Terdapat 15 orang tim UKP yang nantinya akan terus melakukan skrining gangguan refraksi pada siswi santri secara berkala. Dari hasil pretest yang dilakukan di awal kegiatan dan posttest di akhir kegiatan dapat terlihat adanya peningkatan tingkat pengetahuan para santri mengenai gangguan refraksi. ABSTRACT The learning pattern in Islamic boarding schools which is very dense and causes a lot of close reading activities has an influence on the incidence of refractive disorders. This refractive disorder is mostly not realized by students and new complaints arise when this refractive error has greatly disrupted the learning process, so early detection of refractive errors is very necessary. The Pondok Health Unit (UKP) that already exists in Islamic boarding schools is currently not functioning optimally to detect symptoms of refractive errors in students. The purpose of community service is to increase the role of the Pondok Health Unit in early detection of refractive error symptoms in Al-Aziziah Samarinda Islamic boarding school students. The method used is by educating about the symptoms of refractive disorders, screening of cases of refractive errors, providing referrals to health centers or providing glasses and forming an integrated team for early detection of refractive errors. From the results of the screening activities, it was found that several female students had refractive errors. Giving free glasses is given to students who need it. There are 15 UKP teams who will continue to screen refractive disorders in female students on a regular basis. From the results of the pretest which was carried out at the beginning of the activity and the posttest at the end of the activity, it can be seen that there was an increase in the level of knowledge of the students regarding refractive disorders.
