Fatima University Medical Center in Antipolo City proudly announces the arrival of the revolutionary ZEISS SMILE Pro laser vision correction procedure—marking a significant leap forward in eye care for Rizal and neighboring communities.

Since its establishment in 1967, FUMC has steadily grown into a trusted private medical facility, now boasting six campuses and two hospitals. With this milestone, FUMC is positioning itself as a premier center for expert eye care, bringing cutting-edge technology closer to home.

At the heart of this breakthrough is the VISUMAX 800 machine, the engine behind ZEISS SMILE Pro’s minimally invasive laser surgery. Unlike traditional LASIK, which involves creating a corneal flap, SMILE Pro uses a flapless technique that reshapes the cornea through a tiny incision.

This advanced approach drastically reduces the risk of complications and speeds up recovery. The laser ablation process takes only about 10 seconds per eye, making the entire procedure quick and gentle.

The range of vision correction is impressive, catering to prescriptions from -0.75D up to -10.00D, including patients with thin corneas or dry eyes who might not have been suitable candidates for other laser surgeries. This versatility means many more people can safely experience the benefits of clearer vision without glasses or contacts.

FUMC’s introduction of the ZEISS SMILE Pro technology places it among an elite group of medical centers worldwide. Globally, only about 2,900 surgeons are certified to perform this procedure, and more than 10 million eyes have benefited from ZEISS SMILE technology.

This achievement signals a new chapter for eye care in the Philippines, ensuring that patients in Rizal and nearby areas no longer have to travel far for world-class treatment.

During the recent launch event, FUMC was honored to host special guests such as Kuya Kim Atienza and Antipolo Vice Mayor Reynaldo San Juan Jr., who expressed their congratulations on this landmark development. Dr. Vicente Santos, MD, DPBO, welcomed attendees and shared his pride in FUMC’s growth and dedication to providing the latest medical innovations.

Patient testimonials highlight the transformative impact of SMILE Pro. One patient shared, “The difference between LASIK and ZEISS SMILE Pro is clear—the recovery is smoother and pain-free. I was back to work the next day. My family has trusted Fatima University Medical Center for years, and this procedure only strengthens that trust.”

Stories like these underscore the procedure’s effectiveness and patient-centered approach.

ZEISS SMILE Pro is an outpatient procedure suitable for individuals aged 18 to 50. It offers shorter downtime than many everyday activities, such as a haircut or dental visit, making it an attractive option for busy professionals and students alike.

For those interested in exploring whether ZEISS SMILE Pro is right for them, Fatima University Medical Center invites inquiries through their hotline at 02 8291 6583 local 206 or via their social media channels on Facebook and Instagram.
