Abstract
Refractive error is a preventable visual disorder that remains underrecognized by the general public, particularly among children. This community service project aimed to enhance public literacy on eye health and to demonstrate a simple, community-based screening method known as MELIHAT. The intervention included structured counseling, group discussions, and practical demonstrations of visual acuity screening that can be conducted at home. Evaluation was carried out using pre- and posttests, with data analyzed using the McNemar test. Of the 96 participants who completed the pretest, 86 completed the posttest. Statistically significant improvements were observed across all knowledge indicators, including understanding of myopia (from 51.8% to 98.8%) and awareness of the need for regular eye examinations (from 25.6% to 97.6%). These findings indicate improvements in participants’ knowledge, awareness, and commitment regarding early detection and routine eye examinations. Therefore, this community-based educational approach may be considered for implementation in other areas with similar characteristics.
