Manila, Philippines - American Eye Center, the country’s largest, mall-based fully independent diagnostic, therapeutic and surgical one-stop shop for world-class eye care, reinforces its position as the premier eye care clinic through the acquisition of the most advanced technology used for the treatment of nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
The acquisition of the most modern technology is part of the clinic’s mission of providing the best possible services for its patients and its effort to remain the premier eye clinic.
Dr. Benjamin Cabrera states, “We have always been aggressive in bringing in the latest technology to the country because of our commitment to the welfare of our patients. As the first clinic to make all-laser LASIK via the
Wavelength Refractive Suite a reality for the Filipinos, we believe that this puts our country at par with the more progressive countries in the West.”
In May of 2011, the clinic acquired the Wavelight Refractive Suite, the fastest, safest and most advanced technology in the world for all-laser or bladeless LASIK surgery that treats nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The new instrument is the most advanced combination laser technology in the world for such surgery.
The WaveLight Refractive Suite brings an unprecedented level of safety and precision, allowing surgeons to provide consistently excellent refractive and visual results when performing laser vision correction. It is a paired system, which has the femtosecond laser and the excimer laser built from ground up to be compatible with each other.
The FS200 Femtosecond laser is impressive because of its speed and ability to make the flap that is needed for LASIK surgery. There is no need for blades. The surgeon is given the
freedom of choice with regard to diameter, shape, thickness, depth, angle, and location of the flap according to the individual needs of the patient. Integrating seamlessly with the FS200 is the EX500, the fastest excimer laser in the market operating at 1.4 seconds per diopter of treatment. It can perform a wide range of customized treatments.
The clinic also recently expanded and opened its branch in Greenbelt 5. This branch is equipped with the latest cataract surgery suite, a LASIK suite, and five examining rooms. The clinic also offers the latest and hippest eyewear through SPEX by The Optical Shop.
American Eye can also be found at its first branch in Level 5, Shangri-La Plaza in Mandaluyong City.
