Borough Lasik Center (BLC), a leading eye clinic in the Philippines, opened its first satellite clinic in General Santos City, expanding its reach and making advanced eye care more accessible to Mindanao residents.
“We have multiple accessible locations in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao, extending our mission to provide life-changing vision for all to all corners of the country. Citizens from General Santos, including other nearby towns, now have access to the latest technology one could offer abroad,” said BLC general manager Karlo Serafin Sanchez.
“They don’t need to fly to Manila or other countries just to enjoy the newest eye treatments. BLC has conveniently brought the technology right in their backyard,” he said.
BLC has four branches, including three full-service clinics in Manila, Iloilo and Davao and now a newly-opened satellite clinic in General Santos.
The management also announced that BLC would soon open their clinics in Cagayan de Oro and Bacolod.
“At BLC, we take pride in our commitment to excellence by investing in world-class technology and equipment, so we can provide customized treatments ensuring the best results for every patient,” said BLC chief executive and head ophthalmologist Dr. Ches Heredia.
“As of December 2023, BLC has helped over 20,000 eyes achieve life-changing vision. Of course, this would not be possible without the expertise of our globally-trained and highly-experienced doctors,” he said.
BLC features top-of-the-line machines that perform the best ophthalmic treatments. One of them 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.
BLC said that as part of its commitment to providing innovative solutions to eye surgery, it was certified to be the first and only eye clinic in the Philippines to offer CLEAR Lenticule Extraction– the same technology used in Europe, Americas and different parts of the world. The procedure is performed using a machine called the Ziemer Z8 NEO which BLC launched in March 2023.
