When it comes to ophthalmological services and cataract treatment and removal, there is no doctor…read moremore qualified in this city than Dr. Sidney Cheng. My brother got into an accident once and his eye was compromised and I'm so grateful to Dr. Cheng because he essentially saved my brother's eye and ensured that his vision wouldn't be compromised in any way. He was also integral in overseeing the success of my LASIK eye operation under the supervision of Dr. Alnette Tan. Dr. Cheng's resume is astounding but beyond that, what he will provide you with is high quality eye care and a kind, patient bedside manner that no training in the world can provide. It simply comes from the heart.

I had a hard time finding an ophthalmologist that has a sub-specialty in pediatrics. I have come to…read moreknow that there were only a handful of these specialists and not all hospitals have them. After going through the tedious process of calling hospitals, reading countless parenting forums, and checking our HMO provider for accredited hospitals, I have discovered the Asian Eye Institute. I immediately scheduled an appointment with Dr Norman Eric Fajardo, one of the two pediatric ophthalmologists in the institute, so we can finally dispel that anxiety that my husband and I were having about our son's eyes. Dr Fajardo is highly recommended by parents from the forums that I have read. They said that he is nice and very patient in dealing with kids, something that I would like to be assured of since he is about to examine my son's eyesight and we all know how difficult it easy to tackle toddlers during checkups. The day of my son's checkup came and we were relieved to have found out that the Asian Eye Institute at Rockwell has a family-friendly setup. We spent four hours at the Asian Eye as we have to go through a lot of stations before finally meeting with Dr Fajardo. It's a good thing that the waiting area is large enough to accommodate patients and their companions. There are several couches and a TV to make waiting bearable. The floors are carpeted which guaranteed the safety of kids running around the area. They also have a pantry where visitors can have a drink or have a cup of coffee. They also have a room designated as a play area for little patients which they have filled with toys, books and tiny chairs and tables. The doctors and their staff are used to dealing with little kids and they already know what to do when a child wails or go berserk at the sight of their instruments and eye drops. Dr Fajardo made a careful and thorough examination of my son's eyes. He even examined my eyes and that of my husband as he explained everything about our child's eyes and he was able to debunk everything that other people were saying about our son's eyes. It gave us peace of mind to finally have an expert advice on our little boy's eyesight and we were finally assured that there is nothing wrong with him. Should you need to have your eyes or that of your loved one, call the Asian Eye Institute to schedule an appointment and you are guaranteed to get a proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

She came from a family of optometrist and has been operating in UP for about 2 decades already. Through her shop's glass window, you will notice her collection of old camera units, framed photographs of the Mexican Revolution and some art works hung on the wall, along with the various eyeglasses inside her shop. No it's not a gallery, no you're not in the 70's, it's simply an optical shop in UP. I brought my ageing parents to Nella to have their eyes checked because of their constant whining about head aches and poor eye sight. I insisted on going to UP rather than going to a near-by optometrist because Nella treats her clients like friends and house guests, she's very warm and nice to talk to; you will learn a lot from simply having a conversation with her. She even helped my parents with their choice of frame and suggested the one that looked good and will function well with them the most. Not to worry about Nella's prices too because it is also the cheapest that I know. My parents paid for only about P 5,000.00 for two pairs of eyeglasses with grades! It's quite cheap for the usual 4k-5k price of a pair. As Nella says "We are in UP, walang mahal dapat dito." (We are in UP, nothing should be expensive here.) Most of Nella's clients and friends are UP Professors, artists and rockstars, a few are Dong Abay, Joey "Pepe" Smith, The Eraserheads, Jessica Zafra, Jon Red and Lourd de Veyra. Her shop is located at UP Shopping Center, University of the Philippines, Diliman, Quezon City. Landline: 4355685 (Call first).

The staff greeted me right away, no waiting around like some places. They took their time with the eye exam--super thorough, explained my slight astigmatism shift without making me feel dumb, and then helped me browse without any hard sell. Ended up picking a sleek pair from one of the newer designer lines that looked way better on me than I expected, and with their promo, the whole thing (frames + progressive lenses) came out to way less than I'd pay back home. They even threw in a free lens cleaner kit and adjusted them perfectly on the spot. Felt taken care of, not just sold to. Service was genuinely warm and professional--zero pressure, all help. Already telling friends to go here. Easily 5 stars for me.

It's amazing. The eye exam used to be free but now they charge PHP 150 for the comprehensive eye exam. They usually have promos so they can waive the fee but it's not always applicable to everyone.

I remembered that I passed by what looked like an optical shop when I watched a movie in SM Aura so I just drove there and looked for it.

They had me enter the testing room where I had my eyes tested. It was the usual read some small letters on the wall test. I tried asking the optometrist questions about blurred eyesights and vision and all my curious questions. I was very thankful because she answered all my questions and explained them to me so I could easily understand. I then picked the frame for my glasses. They have collections of Ray-Bans, Espirit, and other high end brands. Fortunately for me, they had a promo of free frames that comes with the lenses. I picked the glasses up two days later and my vision was clearer than ever. The people here are very friendly. The guy who assisted me in picking frames was really insightful and assistive. The optometrist was also very nice. The location is very convenient for people living near BGC.
