PROMPT · Warm, natural-light editorial photograph of a Filipina optometrist in a crisp white coat performing a slit-lamp eye examination on a relaxed, smiling adult Filipino patient inside a modern, uncluttered clinic room. 50mm lens, shallow depth of field, soft daylight from a window on the left. Calm blue-and-white interior. Patient's face in the right third so the left third stays clean for headline text. Documentary healthcare photography, candid — not glossy stock.

Clear sight,
close to home.

What we offer

Everything your eyes are likely to need

If something falls outside what we can treat here, we will tell you plainly and refer you to someone who can — with your records sent ahead.

Comprehensive eye exam

A full assessment of how well you see and how healthy your eyes are — not just a lens strength.

Refraction & prescription

The precise measurement behind your glasses or contact lenses, checked against how you actually use your eyes.

Contact lens fitting

Corneal measurement, trial lenses, and a proper handling lesson before you take any home.

Pediatric vision care

Picture-based testing from age three, paced for a child who cannot yet read a letter chart.

Glaucoma screening

Eye pressure and optic nerve assessment. Painless, no drops, and over in about fifteen minutes.

Diabetic eye screening

A yearly retinal check if you are diabetic — the single most effective way to protect your sight.

Dry eye assessment

For burning, grittiness, constant tearing, and the strain that builds over a long day of screens.

Post-operative follow-up

Structured aftercare following cataract or refractive surgery, coordinated with your surgeon.

Low vision support

Magnification, lighting, and contrast advice when a prescription alone can no longer do the job.

PROMPT · Wide, bright photo of an optometrist seated beside a patient at a phoropter in a modern exam lane, mid-conversation, both relaxed. Natural daylight, blue-and-white room, documentary feel. 4:3.

The comprehensive eye exam

Most people book an eye exam because something has changed — headaches at the end of the day, a blurry road sign, a book held further away than it used to be. A comprehensive exam answers that question, and then keeps going: it also checks the health of the eye itself, where problems tend to start long before you notice them.

Who it is forAnyone who has not had their eyes checked in two years, and every adult over forty annually.
How long it takesAbout 45 minutes
What to bringYour current glasses or contacts, your PhilHealth or HMO card, and a list of any medications you take.
Book this

Contact lens fitting

A contact lens prescription is not the same number as a glasses prescription — the lens sits directly on your eye, so it has to match the curve of your cornea as well as your focus. We measure that, trial a lens, and check how your eye responds before anything is dispensed.

Who it is forFirst-time wearers, and anyone whose current lenses have started to feel dry or uncomfortable.
How long it takesAbout 40 minutes, plus a follow-up a week later
What to bringYour current lens boxes if you already wear them, and your glasses as a backup for the trip home.

Children and school vision

Children rarely say they cannot see — they have no reference for what normal looks like. What shows up instead is squinting, sitting close to the television, losing their place while reading, or a quiet slide in school performance. Testing is picture-based and takes about half an hour.

Who it is forFrom age three upward. Before starting school, then every one to two years.
How long it takesAbout 30 minutes
What to bringAny note from the school nurse or teacher, and your child’s report card if reading has been an issue.
Book this

Glaucoma and diabetic screening

Both glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy do their damage silently. By the time vision changes are obvious, some of the loss is permanent. Screening is quick, painless, and the only reliable way to catch either one early enough to act.

Who it is forAnyone over forty, anyone diabetic, and anyone with glaucoma in the family.
How long it takes15 to 30 minutes
What to bringRecent blood sugar results if you have them, and the name of your attending physician.

Your visit

What to expect

Nothing about an eye exam should be a surprise. Here is the whole sequence, in order.

  1. Registration

    Your details, your medical history, and your insurance card if you have one. First visits take a few minutes longer.

  2. Preliminary tests

    Visual acuity, eye pressure, and an autorefractor reading. Quick, painless, and done by our technician.

  3. The examination

    The optometrist refines your prescription and examines the health of the eye — front surface, lens, and retina.

  4. Discussion

    What we found, what it means, and what you can do about it. Ask everything; this is the part that matters.

  5. Eyewear, if you need it

    Frame selection, lens options explained without upselling, and measurements taken on your face rather than estimated.

  6. Collection and adjustment

    We fit your glasses when you collect them, and adjust them free of charge whenever they need it afterwards.

How we practise

Three things we hold to

We explain, then we recommend

You will leave knowing what we found and why it matters. If a lens upgrade will not meaningfully help you, we will say so rather than sell it.

Continuity over volume

The same optometrists, visit after visit. Change in your eyes is measured against your own history, not a population average.

We refer without hesitation

Retinal disease, complex surgery, and paediatric strabismus belong with specialists. When that is the right call, we make it early and send your records ahead.

PROMPT · Detail photograph of a slit-lamp biomicroscope in a dim exam lane, its beam catching the instrument’s optics, clean modern equipment, cool blue light against warm shadows. No people. 4:3.

Technology

What we examine you with

Good equipment does not make a good clinician, but it does let one see things that would otherwise be guessed at.

Slit lamp biomicroscopeMagnified examination of the cornea, iris, and lens — where most front-of-eye problems first show.
Non-contact tonometerEye pressure without drops or contact. The first line of glaucoma detection.
Autorefractor & keratometerAn objective starting prescription and corneal curvature, before subjective refinement.
Retinal fundus cameraPhotographs the back of the eye so this year can be compared against last year, precisely.
Digital lensmeterReads the prescription in your current glasses, useful when you have lost the paperwork.
Trial frame & lens setBecause a number on a screen still has to be confirmed against how you actually see.

Our commitment

Nobody in Agusan del Norte should lose their sight to something we could have caught

Every year we run free vision screenings in barangay health centres and public schools across the province. Uncorrected refractive error is the easiest thing in medicine to fix — and still the most common reason a child falls behind.

Lenses

The part that actually does the work

The frame is what people see. The lens is what you see through. Here is what we fit, and how long each takes.

Lens typeWhat it doesTurnaround
Single visionOne focal distance — reading or distance. The most common lens we dispense.Same day on stock powers
ProgressiveDistance, intermediate, and near in one lens with no visible line. Takes about a week to adapt to.3 – 5 working days
BifocalTwo distinct zones with a visible line. Cheaper than progressives and quicker to get used to.2 – 3 working days
PhotochromicDarkens outdoors, clears indoors. One pair instead of two, useful in Butuan sun.3 – 5 working days
Anti-radiation / blue lightFilters part of the blue-violet band from screens and LED lighting. Worth it if you work at a monitor all day.Added to any lens above
Multi-coat & anti-scratchReduces glare and reflections, and holds up far better to daily cleaning.Added to any lens above

After you collect

Care, adjustment, and warranty

Glasses loosen. Nose pads shift. A frame that fit perfectly in March will not in September. Bring them back whenever that happens.

  • Free adjustments for life ‚Äî as often as you need, whether you bought them here or not.
  • [WARRANTY_FRAME] frame warranty against manufacturing defects.
  • [WARRANTY_LENS] lens warranty covering coating separation and delamination.
  • Prescription recheck free within [RECHECK_WINDOW] if something does not feel right.
  • Cleaning ‚Äî use the cloth and spray we give you, never your shirt. Shirts scratch coatings.

Before you come

What to bring

None of this is mandatory — but each one makes the visit shorter or the result better.

  • Your current glasses or contact lenses ‚Äî even old ones. They tell us where you are starting from.
  • Your PhilHealth or HMO card and a valid ID, so we can verify coverage before the exam begins.
  • A list of medications you take. Several common ones affect the eyes, dryness especially.
  • Sunglasses, in case your eyes are dilated. Light sensitivity lasts four to six hours.
  • Someone to drive, if dilation is likely. Near vision stays blurred for a few hours afterwards.
  • Your child‚Äôs school report, if reading or classroom performance is the reason for the visit.

Getting here

[PARKING_NOTE]

Accessibility

[ACCESSIBILITY_NOTE]

Walk-ins

Slots are held open every day. Mornings before 10am and weekday afternoons are usually the quietest.

Booking ahead

Call or message and we will hold a time. Useful if you need a specific doctor or a longer appointment.

Urgent eye problems

Sudden vision loss, flashes and floaters, chemical splash, or an eye injury — call first and come straight in. Do not wait for a slot.

Questions

Asked often, answered plainly

Do I need an appointment?

No — walk-ins are welcome and we keep slots open for them every day. Calling ahead simply means less waiting, especially on Saturdays.

How often should I have my eyes checked?

Every two years for healthy adults under forty. Yearly after forty, yearly if you are diabetic, and yearly for children once they have started school.

Will my eyes be dilated? Can I still drive home?

Only if the examination calls for it, and we will tell you beforehand. Dilating drops blur near vision and increase light sensitivity for four to six hours, so bring someone with you or plan to take a ride home.

Can I get my glasses the same day?

Most single-vision prescriptions in stock lenses are finished the same day. Progressives, high prescriptions, and specialty coatings usually take a few days — we will give you a firm date before you leave.

Do you accept PhilHealth and HMO?

Yes. Bring your card and a valid ID and we will verify your eligibility before the exam begins, so you know what is covered before anything is charged.

My child is only three. Is that too young?

Not at all. Testing at that age uses pictures and shapes rather than letters, and tells us what we need to know about how the two eyes are working together.
