JEC hosts 5th International Ophthalmology Summit, launches groundbreaking digital eye health platform

JEC Eye Hospitals and Clinics, Indonesia's leading eye care provider with more than four decades of clinical excellence, hosts the fifth edition of JEC International Meeting (JECIM) 2025 and launches the nation's first AI-powered digital eye health encyclopedia, Matapedia.

The return of JECIM, after its last edition in 2020, marks a significant moment for global eye care collaboration. Under the theme "Shaping the Future of Vision," the three-day scientific forum features pioneering discussions on AI-assisted retinal diagnostics, semi-robotic surgical tools, hospital management for practitioners managing hospitals and eye clinics to meet global standards, a 3D surgery experience—the first of its kind in Indonesia—which allows participants to feel as if they are directly involved in an eye surgery through special glasses, and innovative approaches to combat vision impairment in high-prevalence regions. The forum attracts over 1,200 eye care professionals from 17 countries for groundbreaking discussions on cutting-edge diagnostic tools, surgical innovations, and global strategies to improve vision care. The participants include ophthalmologists—among them young ophthalmologists and members of the ophthalmology community—eye care nurses, optometrists/refractionists-opticians, and other eye health industry practitioners.

DR. Dr. Johan Hutauruk, Sp.M(K), CEO of JEC Corporation said, "At JEC, our mission is rooted in the belief that a clear vision is fundamental to a better quality of life. Every step we take is driven by a commitment to help people see better—because when people see better, they live better. That belief drives everything we do—especially through platforms like the JEC International Meeting, which we are proud to host as part of our commitment to elevating eye care in Indonesia and beyond. JECIM is more than just a medical symposium—it is a vital convergence of knowledge, innovation, and collaboration. We bring together world-class ophthalmologists, researchers, and professionals to exchange ideas, share the latest breakthroughs, and empower one another."

JEC International Meeting (JECIM) 2025 is the most comprehensive ophthalmology scientific forum in Indonesia, initiated by JEC and held every two years. JECIM has become the most comprehensive ophthalmology scientific forum in Indonesia— reinforcing JEC's ongoing contribution to advancing eye health not only domestically but also internationally.
