What can a sophisticated and advanced technology do for LASIK?

A lot. A whole lot.

Shinagawa’s premium ULTRA LASIK procedure utilizes the power of the Schwind Amaris machine.

This advanced machine is designed to deal effectively with extreme cases of astigmatism and to aid the procedure for patients with pupils larger than the normal size. It is proven to produce maximized outcomes in performing LASIK.

With the help of the Schwind Amaris and Femto LDV Ziemer 6, ULTRA LASIK is particularly designed to cater patients that are challenged particularly with ultra-thin corneal flaps and a higher degree of astigmatism. This also has an accurate tracker and adjustable beam level which produce more accurate level to those patients who has lazy eyes.

Among all LASIK services available, the ULTRA LASIK also presents the shortest recovery time for patients as well as the highest resolution possible, 20/10 at most. In a nutshell, a gold standard and an advanced and reliable technology provided by the Schwind Amaris normally produce an excellent result.

Celebrities such as Kim Domingo, Dawn Chang, Justin Cuyugan and Pancho Magno as well as Fashion Designer Pia Perey and Preview Writer/Editor Jae Pickrell had first-hand experiences on how the Schwind Amaris can make a huge difference in terms of LASIK procedure.

For one, Kim had a case of corneal abrasion, caused by the prolonged usage of contact lenses, initially making it difficult for her to undergo LASIK. But with the advancements of ULTRA LASIK and the Schwind Amaris, Shinagawa still carefully managed to give Kim a successful procedure despite the odds.

Our state-of-the-art diagnostic capability, multiple redundant screenings, better clientele treatment and especially our doctors, we can control the outcome better. That’s exactly why Kim enjoys an amazing vision now.

“It was indeed a great ULTRA LASIK experience,” bared Kim, who also had her eye condition treated by ULTRA LASIK in the process. “The ULTRA LASIK surgery was really fast and totally painless! I’ve suffered from having poor vision for a very long time, but now it’s crystal clear—from 375 to 20/20 in just less than 10 minutes!”Ultra LASIK ProcedureAmaris Machine — Schwind

Justin and Pancho were likewise saved by abilities of the ULTRA LASIK as they both had bigger than normal pupils, making it difficult for them to be eligible at first.

Both having big pupil and high astigmatism, they needed a more customized treatment for their eyes and ONLY Shinagawa’s ULTRA LASIK can do that function.

“The staff and technology at Shinagawa LASIK are exceptional! They have the most advanced technology in laser vision correction, particularly their ULTRA LASIK. Because of ULTRA LASIK, I see the world clearly now. I can’t remember the last time I saw the world like this,” said Justin of his ULTRA LASIK experience.

“I can confidently say that undergoing ULTRA LASIK at Shinagawa is the best decision I’ve ever made! Before, I couldn’t get through the day without glasses or contact lens. After ULTRA LASIK, my vision was even clearer than it ever was back then. From -4.50 to a 20/12 vision (this is something better than 20/20 for those who don’t know) my eyes are now better than normal! All thanks to Shinagawa and its wonderful ULTRA LASIK,” added Pancho.

For Pia, an International Fashion Designer, her inspiring adventure towards success was anything but normal. It’s a feel-good story of resilience and perseverance.

“I had an accident when I was about four (4) months old. Luckily, I survived a bad fall and got through two (2) surgeries but still, there said that there’s no way I cannot be wearing glasses,” shared Pia. “I’m a fashion designer. I work in a field that requires me to look good. When I go to events, I need to wear contact lenses and I get very irritated. My eyes get very dry and it’s not comfortable.”

Fortunately, there’s a way for to say goodbye to her glasses and contact lenses. ULTRA LASIK is her ultimate savior.

“I had the most life-changing experience when I had ULTRA LASIK surgery at Shinagawa. I was in awe of the results! It made my vision 20/20.

See If You’re a Good Candidate for LASIK

/in , /by

There are tons of reasons why LASIK is the most popular and effective refractive surgery for people who are itching to have a perfect vision in exchange for their eyeglasses and contact lenses.

According to studies, around a million people have LASIK surgery every year to enhance their sight and attain a 20/20 or even better vision. That’s the reason why more people would want to follow that same path.

Imagine, in less than 10 minutes, you can have a brand new perfect eyesight in a snap. No wonder more people would want to know if they are eligible for LASIK. Who exactly are the best candidates for LASIK?

Here are several key factors that decide whether one can undergo LASIK or not:

1. Age – This is one of the most important determining factors in terms of knowing if one can be a LASIK candidate or not. People under 18 are not advised to have LASIK as per ophthalmologists as their eyes are yet to be fully developed.

The common advisable age/s to have LASIK is when one reached early 20’s and older. However, an 18-year old can also be eligible if screening shows that he already has a stabilized vision.

2. Eye Health – This is another significant consideration before one can be eligible for LASIK. That’s why thorough and precise examinations are first needed to see if a person can push through with the surgery and if the eyes’ health can take LASIK.

People who have severe eye conditions are most likely deemed as ineligible for LASIK. The requisite LASIK consultation assures if one is eligible for the procedure or not.

3. Pregnancy – Though just temporarily, pregnant women are not advised to have LASIK while they are still in a carriage. The hormones they have during pregnancy causes unstable vision. Once fully recovered upon post-pregnancy, that’s the time that they can seek a consultation for LASIK.

4. Prolonged Usage of Contacts – If you happen to be using contact lenses constantly for years, that might, unfortunately, affect your chances of being eligible for LASIK. Contact lens users are required to discontinue use for a significant period of time before they can be considered for LASIK.

Once there’s corneal stability, a more precise prescription assessment will then be conducted to see if you are good or not for LASIK.

5. Unstable Vision – Having a stable vision is a requisite to pass the LASIK screening. In fact, it is one of the key components in screenings and examinations. One must have a stable vision upon thorough examination to accurately get the necessary results and see if it is eligible or not.

6. Overall Health – Aside from eye health, a person’s overall health is just as important of a factor in determining his LASIK eligibility. Some serious health conditions, such as diabetes and disorders, might significantly affect one’s LASIK eligibility.

See If You’re a Good Candidate for LASIK

Those significant factors are key to determine if you can be a good candidate for LASIK. As much as most people would want to have LASIK, it is important to first determine if it is safe and fit enough for a certain person.

Not sure if you can be a candidate for LASIK but would love to have the procedure for your own good? The best way to know is to consult our experienced and trusted eye doctors and have the necessary examinations to see what’s best for you.

Are You Too Young or Old for LASIK?

Are You Too Young or Old for LASIK?

/in , /by

A lot of people are asking if there is an age limit for LASIK surgery. Fortunately, the general age range for LASIK is broad, meaning there is a fair chance that one can be a candidate.

Technically, the only certain age limit is that one has to be 18 to be eligible for LASIK screening. Aside from that, it really varies.

Actually, it is a misconception that one can only have LASIK up to a certain age. That is actually untrue. In fact, there are some who had successfully LASIK surgery at 70 years old and older. Further, recent statistics show that there are more people in their 50s now that had LASIK or are considering to have it.

Like cataract surgery, which is a safe and tested procedure that restored one’s bright vision, LASIK can also be a hit for people above the age of 50.

Are You Too Young or Old for LASIK?

However, even if it might not be the main factor, age can still be a factor on whether or not you can be a candidate for LASIK as our eyes tend to continually change as we grow older.

Despite that, plenty of people that are in their 40s, 50s, and 60s still have healthy eyes and they may still be good candidates for LASIK.

As for people under 18, they are normally not qualified as their vision has not yet stabilized fully. Most ophthalmologists recommend people to wait until their early to mid-20s before considering having LASIK.

But at Shinagawa, an 18-year-old can actually undergo surgery provided its vision is stabilized and this is made possible by the advanced technology and equipment we possess for our patients’ advantage.

Are You Too Young or Old for LASIK?

Given these circumstances, the notion that there is a limit on upper-age people for LASIK is simply untrue.

Not sure if you can be a candidate for LASIK but would love to have the procedure for your own good? The best way to know is to consult our experienced and trusted eye doctors and have the necessary examinations to see what’s best for you.

At Shinagawa, we ensure what’s best for our patients as our advanced machines smoothen eye examinations and give the most accurate results.

It is inevitable for us not to experience red eyes every now and then. Once in a while, everyone goes through having to deal with red eyes for a stretch.

Red eyes do not happen by accident. They have a lot a various causes that we can and cannot avoid at the same time. It is best for us to be aware of these causes for us to prevent red eyes as much as we can.

Most importantly, proper eye care is what we need to ensure the best health for our eyes.

Here are some reasons why our eyes turn reddish:

Having colds or flu Philippines

  1. Having colds or flu – It’s no coincidence that you get red eyes in times you have colds or flu. When we get sick, there’s more often a tendency for our eyes to be affected. All the constant coughing and sneezing affect our eyes’ blood vessels, leading to red eyes.Lack of sleep Philippines
  2. Lack of sleep – Having a healthy and lengthy sleep is not only good for our overall health and immune system, but for our eyes as well. Sleep deprivation leads to red and sagging eyes. The solution here is quite obvious. You know what to do.Smoking Philippines
  3. Smoking – We all know the bad effects, particularly lung diseases, of smoking as they are reminded to us every now and then constantly. But do you know that smoking can affect your eyes, too?

If you’re looking for more reasons why you should quit smoking, this should be one.
    Computer Vision Syndrome Philippines
  4.  Computer Vision Syndrome – In this age of technology, it’s unimaginable to have a day pass by without spending significant time looking at a digital screen. Our computers and cell phones are big parts of our lives as well as televisions, tablets and other electronic devices. However, we should know our limitations as prolonged use of electronic devices with digital screens can certainly do us harm.We naturally tend to blink less when we’re so focused on starting at a digital screen and that causes dry eyes and red eyes, too. That’s why it’s important to take a breather every once in a while.Trauma Philippines

Having red eyes during this time is part of the healing process.Environmental Factors Philippines
  6. Environmental Factors – Don’t be surprised if your eyes are suddenly red after a busy day of grinding around the Metro. Pollution, unpleasant weather changes and airborne particles all contribute to causing red eyes. Daily environmental factors such as smoke, high winds, dust and excessive exposure to sunlight irritate the eyes, causing them to be reddish.Dry Eyes Philippines
