Bright Sight For The Family: The Journey of Shermaine and Melquiades

Five years ago in 2013, veteran actress/host Shermaine Santiago was desperate for a brighter eyesight as she was already struggling with her daily activities in and outside of showbiz.

Seeking to brighten her vision during that time, the Kapuso star turned to Shinagawa LASIK Center. Shermaine decided to have LASIK to help her with it.

Not only did she get the results she wanted and the perfect vision she hoped for, she continued to enjoy the benefits of that life-changing decision five years later.

“I won’t forget my LASIK as I had it five (5) years ago in 2013 at Shinagawa. My eye grade before LASIK was around 275 back then and now, I still enjoy a 20/10 vision even five years after my procedure.”

As she recalled her journey, Shermaine then thought that it’s also best for her grandfather Melquiades Marquez, 82, to seek help with his cataract problems.

According to Shermaine, it almost got to a point where he grandpa could barely see anything due to cataract. By that time, she decided to do something about it.

Once again, she trusted Shinagawa to take care of Melquiades’ eyesight through Cataract Surgery.

Different procedures, same precise and amazing results.

Melquiades’ daughter Myla Marquez Macugay expressed the family’s satisfaction with the regained sharp vision of their beloved head of the family.

“I’m a daughter of an 82-year-old man with a severe matured cataract on both his eyes. That made him dependent on everyone around him and he lost his confidence.

That lasted until a very kind person referred us to Shinagawa. It did not disappoint us and moreover, it exceeded our expectations. The cataract surgery went so well and even the checkups after that.

Now, we are very glad that my father can see again. He started to describe everything that meets his eyes and can now walk confidently. It’s such a joy to see him that way.

The facilities at Shinagawa are very hi-tech and you won’t worry that something wrong might happen because everything is so up-to-date. The doctors and staff are so accommodating and not only are they extremely knowledgeable of what they’re doing, they will also inform you of every little detail that you need to know, especially that my father is of age. They’re very particular and careful in terms of not giving you anything to worry about.

If you’re looking for a good LASIK & Aesthetic center with great facilities and doctors, Shinagawa is definitely the place and I promise you fulfillment and no disappointments.”

With a big help from LASIK and Cataract treatments at Shinagawa, Shermaine and Melquiades now both enjoy a bright eyesight that allows them to live their lives to the fullest.

“I’m so happy for him (Melquiades) as he can now watch boxing, Pacquiao fights, and enjoy it unlike before the surgery where he couldn’t see much,” shared Shermaine.
