The Medical City expands advanced cataract service in its clinic
Phacoemulsification service at TMC Clinic SM City North EDSA combines specialized eye care with advanced ophthalmic technology.
The Medical City Clinic is relaunching its Phacoemulsification service at TMC Clinic in SM North EDSA, Quezon City, expanding access to advanced cataract care in an outpatient clinic setting.
Phacoemulsification is a cataract surgery technique that uses a small incision to remove the eye’s cloudy natural lens and replace it with an artificial intraocular lens. The procedure is supported by advanced ophthalmic technology, including the CENTURION® Vision System and LUXOR® Revalia™, helping physicians perform cataract surgery with greater precision.
Seeing life clearly again
For Zenaida “Lola Baby” Panlilio, a cataract patient who underwent Phacoemulsification in 2017, cataracts had begun to affect her everyday life. Simple activities, such as reading and seeing the faces of loved ones, became increasingly challenging as her vision became cloudy.
Her journey changed when she underwent cataract surgery through phacoemulsification.
"Malaki ang pagbabago sa buhay ko. Kapag kami nagkakaroon ng bonding, masaya ako dahil nakikita ko 'yung mga apo at asawa ko," Lola Baby shared.
"My life has changed so much. Whenever we spend time together, I feel happy because I get to see my grandchildren and my husband."
Zenaida “Lola Baby” Panlilio, a TMC Clinic patient, shares her experience after undergoing cataract surgery at TMC Clinic SM City North EDSA.
Her experience is a reminder of how changes in vision can affect the way people experience and enjoy everyday moments with the people they love.
With cataract surgery, patients like Lola Baby can take a step toward seeing and experiencing their world more clearly again.
Advanced cataract care, closer to you
Through the relaunch of its Phacoemulsification service, TMC Clinic aims to make specialized eye care more accessible to patients experiencing symptoms of cataracts, including blurred or cloudy vision, difficulty seeing at night, sensitivity to light, or frequent changes in prescription.
“Here at The Medical City Clinic, we perform phacoemulsification, which is the modern standard for cataract surgery. It requires no suturing and no injections. It’s precise, and in a matter of 15 to 20 minutes, the procedure is done,” said Dr. Rainier Covar, Ophthalmologist.
For patients noticing changes in their vision, an eye consultation can help determine whether cataract treatment may be appropriate. With the right assessment and treatment, patients can take the next step toward clearer vision and getting back to the moments that matter.
For inquiries and appointments, you can visit TMC Clinic SM City North EDSA, located at UG/L, The Annex or call (02) 8441-2919 / 0933-4336-1462.
