MANILA, Philippines - The whole month of August, Borough Center for Sight, considered one of the country’s premier eye care clinics, celebrates Sight Saving Month at its branches in CyberOne building, Eastwood, Quezon City, and at the South Wing of SM Mall of Asia.
Borough Center for Sight specializes in laser cataract and lens replacement surgery. It has recently acquired the Lensar Laser System widely used in the United States and Europe that optimizes safety and precision during cataract surgery.
It has the most advanced phacoemulsification machines for fast and pain free surgery along with other state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment facilities.
Cataract is one the leading causes of blindness in the Philippines. Latest figures show that cataract afflicts over one million Filipinos. It is characterized by the cloudiness of the natural lens inside the eye mostly in people in their 60s or older. When the cataract hampers vision significantly, it needs to be removed and replaced with an intraocular implant or IOL.
On the other hand, those who require glasses for farsighted and nearsighted conditions as well as for reading may benefit from multifocal implants for spectacle-free vision.
Borough Center for Sight is under the Borough Medical Care Institute, which marks its 10th anniversary this year. It has given back vision to thousands of patients and offers a wide range of services and packages to meet the needs of everyone.
