Borough Lasik Center expands to Bacolod City, opens 2nd satellite clinic
IN pursuit of its expansion nationwide to bring quality eyecare services closer to more Filipinos, Borough Lasik Center (BLC) has opened in Bacolod, bringing the total number of its facilities to five.
Located at the 3rd floor of Ayala Malls Capitol Central, this is BLC’S second satellite clinic, adding to that in General Santos City and three full-service clinics in Manila, Iloilo, and Davao.
“Our commitment to accessibility is the foundation of our expansion efforts. The opening of our Bacolod satellite clinic marks a significant step towards making premium vision care services accessible nationwide,” BLC General Manager Karlo Serafin Sanchez said.
According to him, residents of the “City of Smiles” and nearby towns need not have to endure long travels to Manila or other distant locations for vision care. He noted: “BLC has conveniently brought cutting-edge technology to Western Visayas, reaffirming our mission to provide life-changing vision services to every corner of the country.”
For BLC Chief Executive Officer and Head Ophthalmologist Dr. Ches Heredia, the Bacolod satellite clinic mainly aims to do comprehensive eye screenings for interested patients.
“If the assessment indicates their eligibility for Lasik, we then schedule their procedure at our Iloilo clinic. This eliminates the need for patients to travel extensively for follow-up appointments. Instead, they can simply cross to Iloilo (via ferry) for their surgery and return to Bacolod for follow-up check-ups at our satellite clinic,” he said.
On Lasik
SHORT for Laser-assisted in Situ Keratomileusis, Lasik is a kind of refractive surgery for the correction of myopia, hyperopia, and an actual cure for astigmatism since it is in the cornea. Commonly referred to as laser eye surgery or laser vision correction, it serves as an alternative to wearing eyeglasses or contact lenses.
“Our dedication to excellence in vision care extends beyond accessibility; it encompasses our unwavering commitment to utilizing cutting-edge technology and delivering customized treatments to each patient,” said BLC Chief Operating Officer Dr. Ricky Aranzamendez III.
The Lasik center boasts of top-of-the-line machines that perform the best ophthalmic treatments. One of which is the Schwind Amaris Excimer Laser, a high-performance laser system used in refractive surgery to reshape the cornea and correct vision problems such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism.
“With over 20,000 eyes already transformed under our care, our globally-trained and highlyexperienced doctors stand ready to continue this legacy of life-changing vision,” he stressed.
