Good vision is more than just being able to see, it’s about fully experiencing and enjoying life in all its vibrancy. 

Our sense of sight is the most utilized of our senses, from the moment we wake up to the end of the day, that is why it deserves every bit of care it needs. But data shows that many people aren’t getting the attention they need. 

According to the World Health Organization’s World Vision 2019 study, at least 2.2 billion people globally suffer from vision impairment or blindness, and the Philippines is no exception. Among the leading causes are "refractive errors"—Myopia (nearsightedness), Hyperopia (farsightedness), and Astigmatism—which can make distant or close objects appear blurry and cause distorted vision.

Besides blurred vision, those with refractive errors often experience headaches and eye strain from prolonged tasks like reading or using a computer. Glasses and contact lenses have traditionally been used to manage these errors. While they offer a temporary fix, they come with their own challenges— fogging, discomfort, and the hassle of daily maintenance. This is where laser refractive surgery options come in, offering safe, effective, and permanent solutions:

LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis): This procedure reshapes the cornea by creating a flap or thin slice, typically taking 15 to 20 minutes. Vision recovery usually occurs within one to two days.

PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) and TransPRK (Transepithelial Photorefractive Keratectomy): Both are flapless, bladeless procedures involving corneal reshaping, ideal for those with thin corneas. Vision recovery takes approximately three to four days.
