PETALING JAYA, Malaysia, May 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Just months after announcing its dynamic partnership with world-renowned patient experience expert Shareef Mahdavi and the PX Ninety program, VISTA Eye Specialist is thrilled to mark a major milestone: the story of its PX Ninety and Ikigai WowX transformation has been published in the prestigious April edition of Cataract & Refractive Surgery Today (CRST), a leading U.S. medical journal.
This global spotlight not only cements VISTA's role as a pioneer in purpose-driven, innovative eye care—but also puts Malaysia proudly on the international stage.
"Being featured in CRST is not just a win for VISTA—it's a win for every patient who believes in our vision of care with heart and purpose," said Boon Siong Lim, Founder of VISTA Eye Specialist.
From Vision to Reality: PX Ninety Rollout and Results
Since kicking off the collaboration in November 2024, VISTA has rolled out game-changing initiatives across all 18 centers:
- Rolled out PX Ninety's 12-workout transformation journey to all centers
- Trained a full force of Experience Champions to deliver emotionally intelligent, deeply personalized care
- Introduced patient-centric tools like the Ikigai Journey Box, transforming milestones into unforgettable moments
- Reengineered workflows to boost communication, shorten wait times, and raise transparency clinic-wide
The Impact: Tangible Wins for Patients and Teams
This cultural and operational leap has driven remarkable results:
- Over 500 new 5-star reviews on Google and Facebook
- Skyrocketing patient referrals and satisfaction scores
- Energized team spirit and stronger staff engagement
- Named one of Newsweek Asia's Top Private Hospitals 2025
Why This Matters to Patients
"Being published in CRST means our patient experience isn't just good by local standards—it's recognized and celebrated by international experts," said Carol Heng, Chief WowX Officer and Chief Experience Designer for PX Ninety.
"Our patients are getting world-class care—with soul."
The article showcases how VISTA fuses behavioral science and the Japanese philosophy of Ikigai to create a journey that's not only medically sound—but emotionally rich. Every step—from first consult to post-op—has been thoughtfully reimagined and internationally validated.
"Imagine getting LASIK and walking away not just with clearer vision, but with an Ikigai Box—a personal time capsule that marks the day your life changed," Carol added. "That's what care with soul looks like."
Real Patient Stories, Real WowX Moments
Nothing says success like the voices of our patients:
"After extensive research, I chose VISTA for my cataract surgery… The entire team made me feel at ease. The clinic was immaculate, the technology was top-notch—and after surgery, my vision became noticeably sharper. Watching TV now feels like HD!"
"The Doctor explained everything so clearly and made my daughter feel completely at ease—she even fell asleep during the exam! As parents, we felt truly reassured. Thank you for such a comfortable and heartwarming experience."
A Global Benchmark in Modern Eye Care
"Getting published in CRST is a big deal," said Shareef Mahdavi, author of Beyond Bedside Manner and creator of PX Ninety. "VISTA is showing the world what patient-first healthcare should truly look like."
A Movement Gaining Momentum
VISTA's transformation is just beginning. Upcoming initiatives include:
- Empowering staff with deeper personal growth tools
- Launching community-based WowX outreach programs
- Expanding PX Ninety into new service areas across Malaysia
Regional Interest in VISTA's WowX Model
VISTA's success story is also turning heads across the region. In recent months, healthcare delegations from Medical Saigon Group (Vietnam), Bangkok Eye Hospital (Thailand), and EyeLink Group of Eye Care Centers (Indonesia) have visited VISTA to explore how they can implement similar wowX service principles and innovations in their own practices.
"It's exciting to see other countries looking to VISTA as a model," said Mr. Lim. "It validates the impact we're making—not just locally, but regionally."

- Teachers of years 1-10 see the benefits of hands-on computer science and AI education but lack the right tools to engage students, according to a new report, 'Building the Future: A Global Report on Computer Science & AI Education'.
- Age-appropriate and curriculum-aligned LEGO® Education lessons equip educators with everything they need to teach computer science and AI concepts as part of their curriculum.
- Students explore and build essential computer science and AI literacy skills through hands-on, collaborative and meaningful learning.
BILLUND, Denmark, Jan. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, LEGO® Education announced a new hands-on solution and curriculum for computer science and artificial intelligence (AI) for year 1-10 classrooms that fosters collaboration, creativity, and learning outcomes. Shipping from April 2026, LEGO® Education Computer Science & AI enables schools to expand critically needed access to computer science and AI education.

LEGO® Education Computer Science & AI empowers teachers to deliver computer science and AI learning that is impactful, meaningful, and relevant for every K-8 classroom (ages 5-11+). jwplayer('myplayer1').setup({file: 'https://mma.prnasia.com/media2/2857931/LEGO_Education_CSAI_Concept_Video.mp4', image: 'https://mma.prnasia.com/media2/2857931/LEGO_Education_CSAI_Concept_Video.mp4?p=thumbnail', autostart:'false', stretching : 'uniform', width: '512', height: '288'});
"We have a vision for kids learning, building and coding together – moving away from classrooms where kids work individually on computers with headphones on," said Atish Gonsalves, Head of Product, Computer Science & AI, LEGO Education. With LEGO Education Computer Science & AI, students collaborate and work in groups of four while teachers facilitate hands-on lessons with ready-to-use materials. Kits are specifically designed for years 1-2, 3-6 and 7-10, featuring LEGO® bricks, hardware and lessons that are accessible for beginners yet offer infinite possibilities for experienced learners.
'Building the Future: A Global Report on Computer Science & AI Education' found that many teachers are lacking the right tools to engage their students in these concepts. In fact, more than half of teachers globally say current resources leave students "bored", and nearly half say computer science isn't relatable and doesn't connect to students' interests or day-to-day. While 69 per cent of global teachers agree AI literacy is critical for students' futures, 40 per cent say their schools aren't prepared to teach it responsibly.
"The future will be led by children who don't just use technology – they understand it, question it and ultimately build a better world with it," said Andrew Sliwinski, Head of Product Experience, LEGO Education. "AI presents incredible opportunities for learning, but it must be introduced with intention and care. This is why we developed a solution for the classroom grounded in the LEGO Group's values of child safety, privacy and well-being. With LEGO Education Computer Science & AI, children engage with AI to build their understanding of how the technology works in a safe and responsible way."
LEGO Education is introducing a hands-on, student-centred approach to effectively teach computer science concepts in the classroom and foster AI literacy, creativity and student agency. The report found that teachers value digital learning with screens but want more balance to deliver the best learning outcomes. The LEGO Education curriculum includes both screen-free lessons and lessons that combine physical bricks with the digital LEGO® Education Coding Canvas to bring student creations to life. To understand why and how the technology works, students build and experiment with AI, ultimately learning how to engage with it in a more meaningful and responsible way. This marks a significant shift in how these subjects are taught in classrooms.
With the upcoming launch of LEGO Education Computer Science & AI and the recent introduction of LEGO® Education Science, LEGO Education is designing solutions that equip schools with the tools they need to more easily and effectively teach subjects that have often been disconnected and inaccessible to many students and teachers. As part of this transition, the LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Portfolio will retire, including LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Prime and LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Essential.

LEGO Education Computer Science & AI will begin shipping in April 2026. To learn more, visit LEGOeducation.com/CS-AI.
