DEPARTMENT SECTIONS

Cornea and External Diseases

The Cornea and External Disease Service provides medical and surgical care to patients with cornea and ocular surface diseases such as corneal dystrophies, keratoconus, corneal decompensation from cataract surgery complications, dry eye and ocular injuries. Management of corneal infections, conjunctival autograft for pterygium, corneal transplantation and endothelial keratoplasty and ocular surface reconstruction, are some services provided by the team to improve the vision and condition of the eye.

Glaucoma

Glaucoma Section offers first-rate diagnostic and treatment options for all patients with glaucoma. The distinguished specialists of the section are bona fide members of the Philippine Glaucoma Society, the only group of glaucoma specialists accredited by the Philippine Academy of Ophthalmology. Our doctors will help you deal with one of the leading cause of blindness in the world – glaucoma.

Neuro-ophthalmology and low vision

Neuro-ophthalmology is a subspecialty that deals with problems of the eye related to the brain, nerves and muscles. Some of the common conditions evaluated by neuro-ophthalmologists include optic neuritis, visual field loss, unexplained or transient visual loss, double vision and abnormal eye movements. Our service can provide possible treatment and management strategies in addressing these conditions.

Vision impairment uncorrectable with conventional medical, refractive or surgical means may undergo low vision screening. Thorough testing of residual visual acuity for distance and near, color vision and contrast sensitivity combined with low vision refraction can profile the appropriate optical low vision device/s that may be of benefit. Advice regarding non-optical low vision gadgets and practical vision impairment strategies to cope with activities of daily living can also be received from proper consultation with a Low Vision Rehabilitation specialist.

Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

Our Section consists of ophthalmologists that are trained to treat conditions of the orbit (eye socket), the lacrimal system (tear glands and ducts), the eyelids and adjacent face. Whether you’ve suffered an eye or facial injury, have a condition affecting the eye or eyelid function, or simply want to refresh and rejuvenate your appearance, we can help.

Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus

The Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus provides comprehensive and compassionate care for children’s visual concerns, from birth to 18 years of age. Our pediatric ophthalmologists provide evaluation, diagnosis and treatment for the simplest and most complex childhood eye disorders, including but not limited to stye, conjunctivitis, refractive errors, amblyopia (lazy eye), cataract, retinopathy of prematurity, eye trauma, and genetic eye diseases. They also manage eye misalignment problems (esotropia, exotropia, paralytic strabismus) in children and adults, in the form of glasses, prisms, and appropriate surgical intervention.

Uveitis and Ocular Immunology

he Uveitis and Ocular Immunology Service is involved with inflammation of the eye. This may present as eye redness or pain especially when outdoors, severe blurring of vision, or seeing floating objects among others. There is a high association of uveitis with systemic disorders, particularly autoimmune diseases like lupus and inflammatory conditions like arthritis. As such, uveitis experts are trained not only to focus on the ophthalmologic history and physical examination but, just as equally important, to seek out extraocular manifestations and presentations.

Vitreo-Retina

The Retina Service of Asian Hospital and Medical Center is composed of board-certified and fellowship-trained vitreoretinal specialists who provide comprehensive medical and surgical care for diseases of the retina, macula, and vitreous. Services include:

Vitrectomy surgery and laser treatment for diabetic retinopathy
