Focus on saving sight
People often dismiss the sudden deterioration of their eyesight as either due to old age or lack of adequate nutrients in the body, and they think that wearing glasses or contact lens is the only solution to this problem. Few therefore seek treatment. This may be because not many people know that any vision difficulty, especially reading problem or presbyopia, is now actually treatable using the latest in laser technology.
A pioneering and the only eye center in the country that corrects far- and near-sightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia with Nidek EC5000 Excimer Laser System is Advanced Vision Laser Center in Makati City.
Advanced Vision is not only equipped with other top-of-the-line instruments and machines and the latest software, it is also run by two US-trained specialists Dr. Edward Uy, DPBO and Dr. Rory King Go, DPBO. Dr. Uy is an expert on the cornea and external disease while Dr. Go specializes in vitreous and retinal disease. Both are also highly regarded refractive surgeons in the country.
Advanced Vision Laser Center is the only eye center in the Philippines that can correct presbyopia using LASIK (Laser Assisted In-situ Keratomileusis) with Nidek Advanced Vision Excimer System EC5000 CX III. This is specially patented by its European maker and the center has its own equipment and software called Pseudo Accommodative Cornea Treatment (PAC) in its clinic at the Medical Plaza.
Dr. Go, on the other hand, treats eye problems that are complications of other diseases like diabetes or cancer. He said age-related macular degeneration (AMD) or loss of vision among adults is the most common problem that targets the retina.
Advanced Vision Laser Center offers other world-class laser techniques that include Phototherapeutic Keratectomy (PTK), Epi-Lasik (Epi-K) for corneal scars, Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK) for low and moderate degrees of myopia and astigmatism, and LASIK for all kinds of errors of refraction.
Advanced Vision Laser Center is located at Suite 1004-1006 Medical Plaza Makati, Amorsolo corner Dela Rosa Streets, Legaspi Village, Makati City. Call 844-3500, 845-2656 or 845-2714; e-mail jso@pldtdsl.net or log on to www.advancedvision.com.ph.
