Mayapada Eye Center urges eye‑health vigilance as screen time drives myopia in Jakarta

In Jakarta, Mayapada Eye Center highlighted growing concerns over eye health as people spend more time on digital devices. Ophthalmologists Dr. Ucok P. Pasaribu and Dr. Zorata Ariefia Feranthy warned that prolonged near‑work is raising rates of myopia, astigmatism and presbyopia, especially among children whose glasses are becoming increasingly thick.

The centre promoted preventive measures such as regular eye examinations, limiting screen exposure, proper nutrition and adequate rest. It also advertised advanced corrective procedures, including SMILE Pro for myopia and astigmatism and PRESSBYOND for presbyopia, which can be performed in minutes. Mayapada Eye Center positioned these services as part of a broader effort to support quality of life in the “longevity” era, where maintaining good vision is seen as essential for productive aging.
