Suara.com – Many people only realize they have eye problems when their vision becomes blurry, their eyes tire easily, or they struggle to focus at work. In fact, most eye diseases are progressive and develop slowly without clear early symptoms—especially among urban professionals who are exposed to digital screens for long hours every day.
Addressing this growing need, Mayapada Eye Centre (MEC) has officially opened its newest facility at Mayapada Tower 2 Sudirman, offering premium eye care services specifically designed for office workers and urban communities with high mobility.
The Silent Threat Behind Screen Time
According to Consultant Ophthalmologist at Mayapada Eye Centre, dr. Ucok P. Pasaribu, Sp.M(K), many modern eye disorders are triggered by prolonged screen exposure.
“Excessive screen time, lack of eye rest, and suboptimal workplace lighting can accelerate digital eye strain and other vision problems. Many eye diseases develop without early symptoms, so they are often only noticed once they begin to interfere with daily activities,” he explained during the inauguration of MEC Sudirman on Wednesday (January 28, 2026).
With modern diagnostic technology and the support of subspecialists, early detection can now be carried out more precisely, enabling targeted treatment and reducing the risk of permanent vision impairment.
More Than Just an Eye Clinic: A One-Stop Premium Eye Care Solution
Navin Nathani, Chief Operating Officer of Mayapada Eye Centre, explained that MEC Sudirman is designed as a premium boutique eye care facility in Jakarta’s business district.
“We aim to provide comprehensive eye care services in one place, supported by the latest technology, patient-friendly services, and the best clinical outcomes. This is not just a typical eye clinic, but a complete solution in a premium setting that remains accessible,” he said.
The services cover a full range of subspecialties, including cornea, retina, glaucoma, and pediatric ophthalmology, as well as advanced procedures such as cataract surgery (phacoemulsification), trabeculectomy for glaucoma, and various retinal therapies.
Rising Cases of Myopia in the Digital Era
MEC has observed a significant increase in myopia (nearsightedness), even among children, particularly since the pandemic due to increased gadget usage.
As a result, one of the clinic’s primary focuses is Laser Vision Correction (LVC), including PRESBYOND® LASIK, which is designed for individuals aged 40 and above.
Notably, MEC is among the centers in Jakarta offering PRESBYOND® LASIK, a solution that enables patients over 40 to achieve both near and distance vision without relying on glasses—provided their eye condition is suitable.
For children, MEC also offers Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) therapy—special lenses worn during sleep to help slow the progression of myopia.
Personalized Care with Vision Assistant
Unlike conventional eye care services, every patient at MEC is supported by a Vision Assistant (VIA)—a personal companion who assists throughout the entire patient journey, from registration and examination to treatment and follow-up care.
This personalized approach ensures a more comfortable, coordinated, and effective eye care experience tailored to each patient’s needs.
