Pediatric Ophthalmologist in Pasig

Last July, when my daughter has a bouts of asthma attack we took her to her pediatrician which is located nearby. And she immediately noticed my girls eye.  She said " I think you should have her eyes check."  The lazy eye on her left was quite noticeable already. Her pediatrician insisted that I should look for Pediatric Ophthalmologist and not just any Ophthalmologist because she said they are the ones who are experts in handling children's cases.  I told myself that I have to save money because going to a certain specialist is costly and we don't have a health card.  That is why I need to save for her eye needs.

Since, I don't have the budget yet I often asked Mr. Google to look for a Pediatric Ophthalmologist nearby.

These are my options:

The American Eye Center in Shangrila-Edsa 

Dra. Joanne Bolinao and Dr James Abraham Lee

Telephone # 6360762  

Their consultation fee is around Php1200.00

Provision Eye Care - Silver City Pasig

Dra. Varela

Telephone #  661 4608

Their consultation fee is around Php700-900

I opt for Provision Eye Care  Network because it is near our place.

The clinic is clean, the staff are friendly and  Dra. Varela is such a wonderful Doctor.  She gave my daughter a thorough eye exam using their equipment. Before she gave her diagnosis and plan of care.  I was shocked to find out that my daughter's vision is now 200 each eye.  It is not just a simple lazy eye case anymore.  According to her, when she covers the left eye the right eye responded and became lazy as well.  The eye patch thing is not applicable to her at this point.  She has poor eye muscles and she needs to wear glasses up to 3 months then she will have a follow up by then her eyes will be evaluated again.  Hopefully, her vision will be corrected soon and there is still a big chance that she can wean the glasses off.

I am hoping for that..

Our total expenses is about Php2700 inclusive of everything. 

Her glasses suit her very well.  When I tried it it looks like I am looking through a magnifying glass. LOL.

What about you?  Do your kids need to wear glasses to?
