Welcome message from EYE REPUBLIC's President and CEO, Dr. Manolette Roque

Greetings from Manila, the Philippines!


The flagship EYE REPUBLIC Ophthalmology Clinic at Don Santiago Building in Manila has grown to involve a network of clinics at major medical tourism hospitals in Manila, namely, Asian Hospital and Medical Center, and the new Medical City. It's satellite clinics in Healthway Medical, Marcelo-Padilla Hospital, and Mother Teresa of Calcutta Medical Center cater to the residents of the nearby provinces.


MISSION

EYE REPUBLIC Ophthalmology Clinic enhances the quality of life by improving sight, preventing blindness, and advancing ophthalmic knowledge through delivery of high quality, compassionate patient care, education and research. We provide a single high standard of eye care, available and accessible to each individual, delivered with excellence for all who are entrusted to us, regardless of economic status. We strive to continue a tradition of healing, education and research while providing each patient with excellent, comprehensive eye care.


EYE REPUBLIC Ophthalmology Clinic believes in sharing the knowledge, information and technology it has gained during its existence. We promote the circle of knowledge between our patients, colleagues and mentors. Since our founding, we have felt a responsibility to provide patients with the latest in advanced clinical and surgical eye care with a specific focus on outstanding patient care and customer service. The training of our consultants in different institutions all over the globe, as you will see as you browse through this site, bears testimony to this philosophy and our belief in the effort to eliminate blindness resulting from ocular disease.


WORLD WIDE WEB

In furthering our goal, we have decided to use the power of the information superhighway, the world wide web. This web site is intended to facilitate the transfer of information between physicians (especially fellow Ophthalmologists), residents and fellows in training, Medical Universities and Hospitals, allied health professionals, scientists, supporters, employees, friends and most importantly, our patients. Here you will find information about our services, consultants, research, and contact information useful for making appointments and answering questions.


MEDICAL TOURISM PROGRAM

Our cataract and refractive surgery medical tourism program caters to Filipino balikbayans and foreign nationals. We perform our refractive surgeries at St. Luke's Medical Center - International Eye Institute (Vision Laser Center), the ONLY Joint Commission International (JCI) accredited institution in the Philippines. We have stringent quality control, and are results-oriented rather than volume-oriented in our approach to cataract and refractive surgery, allowing us to have superior results. EYE REPUBLIC is accredited by the Philippine Department of Tourism and the Philippine Department of Health Medical Tourism Program.

We invite you to share this site with your friends and colleagues. We welcome your comments and suggestions.
