Restoring Exceptional Vision—Brilliantly Clear and Glasses-Free in the Golden Years

Powered by FLACS Technology and Advanced Intraocular Lens Solutions at JEC Eye Hospitals and Clinics

Have you noticed the text on your phone screen looking blurry? Or found nighttime headlights unusually dazzling? Do you need to hold books farther away to read? Or feel like your vision is interfering with your daily activities?

 

Such symptoms are common among individuals over the age of 40, and may be early signs of cataracts—a condition caused by the natural aging of the eye’s lens, leading to cloudiness.

 

The good news: thanks to advances in medical technology, cataract surgery is no longer just about removing the cloudy lens—it’s about restoring high-quality vision, giving you a clearer and more comfortable view of the world.

 

Cataract Surgery Is Now Safer, More Precise, and Comfortable with FLACS

Over the past decade, FLACS (Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery) has revolutionized cataract surgery worldwide. This technology is now the gold standard at JEC Eye Hospitals and Clinics—a premier, one-stop eye care center in Southeast Asia.

What Is FLACS?

FLACS uses a highly precise femtosecond laser to replace traditional manual scalpel techniques. This laser can:

  • Create micro-incisions in the cornea with extreme precision
  • Automatically open the lens capsule
  • Pre-fragment the cataract lens for easier removal

With micron-level precision, the surrounding eye tissue remains protected, allowing for a faster and more comfortable post-operative recovery process for patients. Additionally, the risk of complications typically associated with conventional procedures can be significantly reduced. The resulting incisions are also more consistent and neat, supporting a more aesthetic outcome with minimal tissue trauma. Furthermore, the placement of the implanted lens becomes much more accurate, resulting in significantly improved and optimally satisfying visual quality.

For patients aged 40 and above—especially those who remain active at work or socially—FLACS offers superior comfort and dependable results.

 

Who Can Undergo FLACS and Lens Implant Procedures at JEC?

FLACS is ideal for a wide range of patients, particularly:

  • Individuals aged 40+ with early signs of cataracts
  • Patients whose cataracts interfere with daily activities
  • People aged 40+ who want to be free from glasses
  • Patients with astigmatism (cylindrical vision)
  • Anyone seeking a low-risk surgical procedure with faster recovery time

An initial consultation at JEC will assess your overall eye health and determine your suitability for FLACS and which type of lens implant best fits your lifestyle and needs.

 

Lens Implants (IOLs) – Clearer Vision, Tailored to Your Lifestyle

After the cloudy lens is removed through FLACS, a permanent intraocular lens (IOL) is implanted. JEC offers a wide variety of IOLs tailored to your daily activities, including:

  • Multifocal IOL

Multifocal lenses enhance the quality of vision after cataract surgery. These lenses can simultaneously correct presbyopia, myopia, and hyperopia, allowing you to read comfortably (near vision), use computers or perform intermediate tasks, and see clearly at a distance – all without needing glasses after surgery.

This is ideal for patients who wish to be completely glasses-free after 40. Several of Indonesia’s legendary singers and performers have chosen the combination of FLACS and Multifocal IOLs at JEC. They now confidently return to the stage—and daily life—with sharp, glasses-free vision.

  • EDOF IOL (Extended Depth of Focus)

Similar to Multifocal lenses, EDOF lenses provide a more natural visual range, prioritizing clarity from distance to intermediate ranges. These lenses are designed to reduce glare and improve comfort for everyday activities.

  • Monofocal IOL
    • Non-Aspheric Lens

Corrects distance vision but may still cause higher visual aberrations or distortions.

    • Aspheric Lens

Provides improved vision quality with better color contrast compared to non-aspheric lenses.

    • Monofocal Plus

Not only enhances distance vision but also supports intermediate vision, suitable for computer work, cooking, grooming, and more.

    • Toric IOL

Designed to correct astigmatism (cylindrical vision issues), Toric lenses restore sharp vision while reducing or even eliminating dependence on glasses in just one procedure.

 

Clear Vision Is No Longer Just a Dream
