The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that over 1 billion people worldwide experience vision problems, with 123.7 million cases caused by untreated refractive errors. Refractive errors occur when incoming light cannot be properly focused on the retina, resulting in blurred vision. Common refractive errors include myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism (cylindrical vision), and presbyopia (age-related farsightedness).
One of the most effective ways to treat refractive errors is through advanced laser eye surgery, designed to restore clear vision and reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses.
As the eye care leader in Indonesia, JEC Eye Hospitals & Clinics introduces SMILE PRO, an advanced refractive surgery technology that corrects myopia and astigmatism in just 8 to 10 seconds. With this innovation, JEC becomes the first eye care institution in Indonesia to provide this next-generation laser treatment.
According to DR. Dr. Johan A. Hutauruk, SpM(K), President Director of JEC Eye Hospitals & Clinics:
“Since its establishment in 1984, JEC has been committed to improving vision and quality of life. We believe this mission can be achieved by providing reliable, high-quality eye care supported by cutting-edge technology. With SMILE PRO, we are offering patients more advanced options tailored to their needs.”
Why SMILE PRO Stands Out
SMILE PRO, powered by ZEISS VISUMAX 800, offers three key advantages:
- Faster performance – Using the latest femtosecond laser, the procedure is significantly quicker.
- Smarter precision – Equipped with robotic assistance to minimize human error, ensuring higher accuracy.
- Greater comfort – Patients experience minimal anxiety since the laser operates silently and without the claustrophobic effect of traditional systems.
Who Can Undergo SMILE PRO?
Not everyone is eligible for SMILE PRO. Candidates should meet the following requirements:
- At least 18 years old
- Myopia from -0.5 up to -10 diopters
- Astigmatism up to -6 diopters
- Have stopped using soft contact lenses for 14 days or hard contact lenses for 30 days
- Not pregnant or breastfeeding
Trusted by Patients, Including Public Figures
SMILE PRO at JEC has already helped many patients achieve freedom from glasses and contact lenses—including Indonesian public figures like Verrel Bramasta and Athalla Naufal.
Despite initial hesitation due to his high myopia (and even some fear from movie scenes like Final Destination), Verrel chose to undergo SMILE PRO at JEC @ Kedoya. Shortly after, his brother Athalla followed his path and trusted JEC for his eye corrective surgery as well.
According to Dr. Sharita R. Siregar, SpM(K), Refractive Surgery Specialist at JEC: “SMILE PRO only requires a tiny 2–3 mm incision without creating a flap, with a laser duration of just 8–10 seconds. This short treatment time greatly helps reduce patient anxiety. Recovery is also quick, allowing patients to resume normal activities as soon as the next day.”
Commitment to Advanced Eye Care in Indonesia
Looking ahead, JEC Eye Hospitals & Clinics remains committed to enhancing patient experiences across all touchpoints. With its continuous adoption of state-of-the-art technology, JEC ensures that Indonesians no longer need to go abroad to access trusted, world-class eye care.
