Spending hours in front of screens has become part of modern life—from working on laptops to scrolling on smartphones. Unfortunately, this habit increases the risk of dry eye syndrome, a condition that can make the eyes feel gritty, irritated, or even painful if not treated properly.
To address this growing problem, JEC @ Kedoya has officially launched the Dry Eye Spa, the first of its kind in Indonesia. This innovative service combines advanced medical therapy with the relaxing atmosphere of a spa, offering a new way to manage dry eye while keeping the eyes comfortable and refreshed.
Why Dry Eye Is Becoming More Common
Studies show that Indonesians spend an average of 7 hours 38 minutes per day on screens. Long screen time, along with environmental factors such as air conditioning, pollution, and smoke exposure, puts more people at risk of dry eye. According to the Indonesian Ophthalmologists Association (PERDAMI), 27.5% of Indonesians experience this condition. At JEC Eye Hospitals and Clinics alone, more than 72,000 patients with dry eye were treated between 2023 and 2024—a number that continues to rise.
What Makes Dry Eye Spa Different?
Unlike standard treatments, the Dry Eye Spa at JEC @ Kedoya offers a unique combination of:
- Comprehensive eye examination by dry eye specialists.
- Advanced steam atomizer therapy, using a high-tech eye mask that delivers a soothing cool sensation and immediate relief.
- Relaxing, spa-like experience that helps patients feel at ease during therapy.
Regular sessions can help ease common symptoms like dryness, burning, or sandy sensations in the eyes, while also protecting natural tear balance and improving long-term eye comfort.
Comprehensive Dry Eye Care at JEC @ Kedoya
The Dry Eye Spa is part of the broader Dry Eye Service at JEC @ Kedoya, which provides full diagnostic and treatment options such as:
- Schirmer Test (tear volume)
- Tear Break-Up Time / TBUT (tear film stability)
- Ocular Surface Staining (inflammation check)
- Meibography (meibomian gland condition)
- Keratography (tear film analysis)
Depending on the patient’s condition, treatments may include lubricating eye drops, anti-inflammatory therapy, punctal plugs, autologous serum, Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), and now—the Dry Eye Spa.
A Fresh Approach to Eye Health
With this launch, JEC @ Kedoya is setting a new standard in dry eye management. By combining medical expertise with a wellness-inspired experience, patients not only receive effective treatment but also enjoy a sense of relaxation that makes eye care more comfortable and sustainable.
