- Abstract
The Covid-19 pandemic has affected almost all countries in the world. The biggest impact felt by Indonesian people is in the economic and education sectors. To reduce the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, all learning activities at schools throughout Indonesia are carried out online so that the intensity of gadget use by students increases. Prolonged computer use may have negative effects on vision, known as Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS). This study aims to analyze how online learning during the Covid-19 pandemic affects eye health problems of primary school age children. The population of this study is students at SD Islam Ibnu Sina Bandung in 2021 with a sample of 180 people. The McNemar paired two-sample test was used for analysis. The result showed that there is a significant difference between eye health of children before and after the Covid-19 pandemic. The three symptoms of CVS with the highest increase experienced by children were eyestrain (38.89%), fatigue (31.11%), itching, neck, shoulder, and back pain (23.89%, respectively). The factors that cause symptoms of the eye health problems of children are the type of gadget used, the amount of time using gadget, the lighting conditions of the monitor, and the indoor air quality.
