ABSTRACT
Eye health can decline along with low eye health knowledge.
Inadequate health knowledge can cause visual impairment which will have a negative impact later.
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of health education with comic media on students' level of knowledge about eye health at SDN 4 Panjer.
The research method was pre-experimental, with a one group pre-test post-test design approach.
The research subjects were grade 5 students of SDN 4 Panjer, totaling 69 students as a population and the sample used total sampling.
The tool used was an eye health knowledge questionnaire.
The results of the evaluation of respondents showed that as many as 32 students had good knowledge, 31 students had sufficient knowledge, and 6 students had poor knowledge before being given education with comics and increased after being given education with comics to 52 students with good knowledge and 17 students with sufficient knowledge.
The results of bivariate analysis using the Wilcoxon test obtained a p-value of 000 (<0.
This shows that the level of knowledge of students increased after being given education with comics.
The conclusion of the study is that there is an effect of health education with comic media on students' level of knowledge about eye health at SDN 4 Panjer in 2024.
It is expected that from the results of this study, the provision of health education with comic media is used as an alternative to provide education to elementary school students.

The researcher's opinion is that at the age of 10-11 years or the age of grade 5 elementary school students is the right time to provide eye health education with comic media because of the ability of students who are able to understand and follow the storyline conveyed from comics, and with the combination of pictures and writing, it can attract students' interest in reading so that education feels more fun and interesting for children.

In addition, students become easy to understand the subject matter.
The desire of students to learn has also increased.
Students are able to solve problems given based on the stories in the comics they have read.
Learning also becomes meaningful because through animation in the comics they have read will be stored in their memories (Syahmita, 2.
The researcher's opinion is that education about eye health must be given as additional material in addition to the material that has been given at school so that students get to know more about eye health so that the target level of student knowledge reaches the good category.
Eye health education is good for elementary school-age children because children at this age are still in the developmental stage, and giving them an understanding of the importance of maintaining eye health early on can help prevent eye problems in the future.
The eye health education provided includes how to maintain eye health and eye diseases with the aim that students know how to maintain eye health and avoid behaviors that can have a bad impact on the eyes.
With the knowledge of eye health possessed by students, it is hoped that it can reduce the risk of preventable noncommunicable nearsightedness or myopia which can cause visual impairment.
The provision of education with comic media in this study was carried out three times by being given 30 minutes of reading time.
The research involved 69 students in grade 5 at SDN 4 Panjer.
The material contained in this comic includes the types of eye diseases and ways to maintain eye health.
Grade 5 students who have been educated with comic media are given an online comic link with the purpose of education that can be disseminated to friends from other Knowledge is the result of a person's perception of a particular object that we owns.
This knowledge will be maximized if it is influenced by the intensity of one's attention and perception of certain objects.
The object of the student is the comic that is read, the comic can attract students to read repeatedly.
So that students' knowledge increases because comics spur stimulus to remember the message (Setyawati et al.
, 2.
The researcher's opinion is that the provision of eye health education is very important to be given from the age of children so that children can know eye health materials and can apply how to maintain eye health in an effort to reduce the risk of visual impairment that has been found in elementary school children.
The results of the analysis using the Wilcoxon test obtained a p-value of 0.

There is a significant difference after being given health education with comic media.
The difference between the level of knowledge of students about eye health before the provision of health education with comic media and after the provision of health education with comic media.
Looking at the results of the test, it can be concluded that there is an influence of health education with comic media on the level of students' knowledge about eye health at SDN 4 Panjer.
The results of this study are in line with the research conducted by Ridho et al.
entitled "The Influence of Comic Media on Eye Health Knowledge in Children" and research from Pratiwi et al.
entitled "The Effect of Health Education with Comic Media on the Level of Knowledge about Dental and Oral Health in Grade IV and V Students at SD Negeri 1 Dukuhwaluh" which said that there is an influence of the use of comic media on the level of knowledge of students.
This can happen because the use of comic media allows the use of more human senses in the process of receiving information so that it can increase student knowledge.
This is supported by the statement that the provision of health education is one of the efforts to provide information that can increase knowledge.
Exposure to information sources is an indication of how little knowledge can be accessed by individuals (Pratiwi et al.
, 2.
Health education or education is the application or application of education in the health sector.
Operationally, health education is Conclusion The level of students' knowledge about eye health before being given health education with comic media was mostly in the good knowledge amounting to 32 people .

, and the poor knowledge amounting to 6 people .
7%).
After being given health education with comic media, the level of student all activities to provide and improve knowledge, attitudes, and good practices of individuals, groups, or communities in maintaining and improving their own health (Notoatmodjo.
The use of comics as an educational medium can increase students' understanding of the material being studied.
The comic presents an emotional experience for students through the images and storylines presented.
The storyline of the comic makes it easier for students to understand the message and material conveyed in the comic (Anita, 2.
Educational materials conveyed through narratives in comics are able to attract students' interest in reading them, making it easier for them to understand the concepts taught.
Students' interest in learning is also stimulated, which has an impact on a better understanding of the material.
Through the stories conveyed in the comics, students can understand the concepts better, and the educational process becomes more meaningful because of the visual experience they get (Syahmita, 2.
According to researchers, the use of comics as an educational medium is not only entertaining, but also very effective and interesting for children.
Providing educational materials through comics can speed up children's understanding because it is more interesting than delivery methods such as lectures and questions and answers, which tend to make them bored quickly.
Thus, the use of comics as an educational medium is able to increase students' knowledge about eye health.
