Probolinggo, February 4, 2025 – As a concrete action to support the government’s program to reduce blindness due to cataract and the World Health Organization’s (WHO) “Right to Sight” initiative, PT Paiton Energy and PT Jawa Power held a Social Service Synergy Cataract Care Week 2025.
This CSR program was held in collaboration with Rizani Hospital, Probolinggo where 70 cataract patients from Probolinggo Regency had the opportunity to undergo free cataract eye surgery on Tuesday, February 4, 2025. It is also collaborating with Besuki Hospital, Situbondo where 30 patients have been registered who will soon receive surgical services on February 6, 2025.
The cataract surgery CSR activity at Rizani Hospital on February 4, 2025 was attended by Chief Financial Officer of PT Paiton Energy, Bayu Widyanto, Acting Regent of Probolinggo, H. Ugas Irwanto, Manager of Technical, Environmental & CSR of PT Jawa Power, Andy Budiarto, and Director of Rizani Hospital, Dr. Mirrah Samiyah.
A cataract is a change in the lens of the eye, which should be clear and translucent, that becomes cloudy. Depending on the degree of opacity, cataracts can cause a variety of effects. These include blurred vision, double vision, and a rapid change in the size of the lens on your eyeglasses.
Public unawareness that cataracts can be cured by surgery, coupled with delays in cataract treatment, can worsen the patient’s condition or result in blindness.

Chief Financial Officer of PT Paiton Energy, Bayu Widyanto, said that this program is part of the Company’s commitment to help improve the quality of people’s lives through better access to health care, as well as to socialize the importance of maintaining good eye health.
“We believe that health is the most important asset of society, and through this program we hope to bring real benefits to those in need. We also thank the partners who have supported the implementation of this activity,” said Bayu Widyanto.
The Acting Regent of Probolinggo H. Ugas Irwanto, who attended the opening program also expressed his support for this program.
“The Government of Probolinggo Regency really appreciates and fully supports initiatives like this to ease the burden of people with cataracts. We hope that this cataract surgery social service can be a solution for people who have limited resources and is expected to have a positive and sustainable impact every year,” said H. Ugas Irwanto in his opening speech.
Meanwhile, Andy Budiarto, Manager of Technical, Environmental & CSR of PT Jawa Power said that the synergy between the business community, local government, and the health sector is very important in improving the welfare of the community.
“This program is a form of our concern for the community around the operation area. We hope this activity can be sustainable and help more people,” said Andy Budiarto.
The Director of Rizani Hospital, Dr. Mirrah Samiyah, expressed her appreciation for the cooperation with PT Paiton Energy and PT Jawa Power.
“We greatly appreciate the support of PT Paiton Energy and PT Jawa Power in our efforts to improve access to public health. This free cataract surgery is very meaningful for the patients to improve their quality of life,” said Dr. Mirrah Samiyah.
The 2025 Cataract Care Week Synergy Social Service Program will be conducted in three main phases, namely pre-surgical eye screening, cataract surgery and post-surgical follow-up. The purpose of the eye examination is to confirm the patient’s condition and determine the feasibility of surgery. Surgery is performed by a team of specialists using modern medical equipment in accordance with current medical standards.
After surgery, the patient undergoes follow-up examinations to monitor the results of the surgery, receive necessary medications, and receive education on post-operative eye care.
Through this program, the Company hopes to continue to support national health programs and build stronger relationships with the communities in which it operates. Other CSR programs will be developed in the future to address broader societal needs.
