Imagine being able to live your life without worrying about your glasses. Whether you’re commuting through the city of Bacolod, working long hours in Iloilo, or enjoying a beach weekend in Boracay, clear vision changes everything. For thousands of Visayans, that clarity begins with LASIK.

LASIK and How It Affects Your Life

LASIK is a laser vision correction procedure that reshapes the cornea to fix your vision. Before the procedure, numbing drops are applied to your eyes. A thin flap is then gently made so the laser can fix your eye grade. The flap is then set back to heal naturally. This only takes a few minutes per eye, and most patients report clearer vision within 24 hours.

For many Visayans, the ability to see clearly without constant dependence on corrective eyewear allows for convenience, productivity, and renewed confidence to flow effortlessly into your life. This means, no longer needing to wear glasses that fog up while cooking or stepping out on humid streets, and no more discomfort of wearing contact lenses during long hours of screen time. Whether you’re working on your farm in Negros or taking care of your family business in Panay Islands, LASIK brings you limitless freedom.

Expert Insights: Who is a Good Candidate for LASIK?

BLC prioritizes thorough screenings and evaluations by the clinic optometrists and ophthalmologists. This is done to ensure that you are qualified for LASIK and doctors can take a personalized approach to your treatment. Dr. Nathaniel Chan and Dr. Christopher Uy, two of BLC Iloilo’s refractive surgeons, emphasize the importance of knowing who LASIK is best suited for.

“A good LASIK candidate is someone who is 18 years old or older, with a stable eye grade for at least one year. Candidates should also have healthy corneas and be free from eye conditions such as severe dry eye, glaucoma, or cataracts. Anyone with a refractive error may be a good candidate, as long as they meet these criteria” says Dr. Nathaniel Chan, Borough Lasik Center Iloilo Medical Director and trusted refractive surgeon.

People with eye grades and astigmatism ranging from -1.00 to -9.00 are generally good candidates for LASIK, provided they pass the initial eye screening and no other eye conditions. For those who may not qualify for LASIK due to factors like higher eye grades, thinner corneas, or other eye health concerns, BLC also offers alternative procedures.

BLC’s pre-surgical screening process includes diagnostic tests that assess the shape and thickness of the cornea, pupil size, and overall eye health. This ensures that every patient receives customized care with the best possible outcome. “We offer the right treatment at the right time. Everyone’s eyes are unique, so we take the time to customize a treatment plan that fits your eye condition”, Dr. Chan added.
