Comprehensive eye and ear care services designed to reach and serve communities across the Philippines
Weekly Screening
We have a regular screening every WEDNESDAY, 9-11am @ our Vision and Hearing Center, Bacolod City.
Check up is for FREE.
If our doctor recommends cataract extraction we then schedule you for operation.
School Screening
Error of refraction, which is easily diagnosed and can be inexpensively corrected with glasses, are the most important cause of vision impairment in school-age children.
Thus, since 2006 we've been doing massive school screening in Negros Occidental and across the Country to address this concern.
If you want us to visit your school and avail of our free service, contact us.
Munting Doktor Program
(Little Doctor Program)
With this program we hope to empower the children/pupils (grades 4, 5 and 6 pupils; 10-12 year olds) to do community service through teaching them the basics of identifying cataract among the elderly with the focus on their grandparents, parents or any elderly member of their immediate family.
We welcome invitations from any schools to do the training. Get in touch with us.
Target: Grades 4-6 pupils (10-12 years old)
