Abstract
The work system and learning activities from home that are widely carried out now due to the Covid-19 pandemic require us to carry out study activities, work, daily routines at home. A person can do work sitting in front of a computer or laptop for more than 8 hours a day, this situation causes vision problems, namely computer vision syndrome. Based on the problems above, it is necessary to carry out an outreach activity related to knowledge about CVS. This activity aims to improve the individual's health status, educate them to pay attention to eye health and add insight by providing education related to CVS knowledge and preventive actions to reduce the incidence of CVS. The target of the activity is the community, especially young adults who in their daily activities use computers. The implementation activity was carried out on April 10, 2021 and was attended by 35 participants, most of whom were students. The results of this health service activity indicate an increase in participants' knowledge about this CVS disease. This can be seen from the increase in knowledge by 50% from the results of the pretest and posttest. This increase in knowledge is expected to make computer users more aware when these eye disorders appear and can seek help so that problems do not occur in the future
