Seeing the world with clear vision: Doctors explain myopia, latest trends in eye care
Share
The beauty of objects, surroundings, colors, human features, and even life is revealed to people as soon as they open their eyes. As they say, when you have better vision, everything is more clear.
And sadly, for people who suffer from eye disorders like glaucoma, cataracts, retinal problems, and — most importantly — myopia, life becomes blurry.
Speaking of myopia, it is a refractive problem that usually manifests in childhood and causes distant objects to appear blurry. Myopia can worsen over time and raise the risk of developing additional eye disorders if left untreated.
One in three children is at risk of acquiring myopia, according to recent studies.
In a historic move for eye health, Premiere Eye Referral Center and Optical (PERC), a 30-year pioneer in the Philippines' eye health and referral services, has partnered with Zeiss to formally open the nation's first Myopia Management Center.
Under the direction of Dr. Carlos Chua, a pediatric ophthalmologist, and Dr. Roberto Maliwat, a vitreo-retina surgeon and president of PERC, the specialty eye clinic also unveiled its LASIK & Refractive Suite, which is powered by Schwind Amaris technology, in conjunction with this milestone, further solidifying its goal of offering comprehensive, top-notch ophthalmic care.
