Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – PT Sejahteraraya Anugrahjaya Tbk, or SRAJ (Mayapada Healthcare), will add two to three Mayapada Eye Centers in the near future.
Chairman & Group CEO of Mayapada Healthcare, Jonathan Tahir, stated that they are proud to introduce the Mayapada Eye Center in Jakarta, which offers Laser Vision Correction (LVC) services using advanced and state-of-the-art techniques, such as SMILE PRO and LASIK (Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis).
“This is our latest offering, and we are proud to provide this to the Indonesian community. We hope to open two to three more branches in the next few months,” Jonathan told the media on Friday (June 21, 2024).
According to Jonathan, the demand for eye correction in Indonesia has significantly increased due to the growing use of digital devices. Therefore, the opening of the Mayapada Eye Center in South Jakarta is only the initial step.
It should be noted that in the past few decades, refractive disorders (myopia) have become a major issue in eye health in Indonesia. Around 25%, or approximately 55 million people, are affected by this condition, and it is estimated to increase to 40-50% within the next 10-15 years. Most myopia sufferers are in the productive age group and actively use digital devices in their daily lives.
The primary goal of SMILE PRO and LASIK is to correct refractive errors for patients with vision problems such as myopia, presbyopia, and astigmatism.
With SMILE PRO and LASIK, patients can reduce their dependence on glasses or contact lenses and enjoy unrestricted activities without vision limitations. These services are also solutions for supporting professions like pilots, models, athletes or sports enthusiasts, military personnel, police officers, and others.
Meanwhile, Chief Operating Officer of Mayapada Eye Center, Putu Deddy Suhartawan, mentioned that based on research, the highest demand for eye correction is still in the Greater Jakarta area (Jabodetabek).
“For example, Central and South Jakarta have a high prevalence of myopia and strong buying power. Therefore, we are continuously studying and innovating,” explained Deddy.
Mayapada Eye Center is committed to providing high-quality and innovative laser vision correction services. The LASIK and SMILE PRO services are Laser Vision Correction technologies, with LASIK using laser beams to reshape the corneal tissue, while SMILE PRO is an innovation by Carl Zeiss, utilizing the Visumax 800 Femtosecond Laser machine to correct refractive errors.
SMILE PRO combines robotic arm technology with an AI system to integrate pre-operative supporting data, minimizing risk and ensuring patient comfort.
