As we grow older, it’s natural for our eyes to undergo changes—some gradual, some more noticeable. You may start holding your phone farther away, squinting more often, or struggling with night driving. These are just some of the signs of our eyes aging with us. But while blurry vision may feel inevitable, it doesn’t have to be permanent. With modern advancements in eye care, there's now a gentler, faster, and flap-free solution: SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction). And yes, it's now available at Fatima University Medical Center. If you’re ready to welcome the world with fresh, clearer vision—without the hassle of glasses or long recovery times—then SMILE might just be your new beginning. Because every day deserves to be seen clearly.

Fatima University Medical Center Antipolo (FUMC), a trusted leader in eye care in the Philippines, announced today the integration of the cutting-edge ZEISS SMILE pro technology into its Eye Laser Center offerings. This revolutionary laser vision correction procedure is minimally invasive and requires little recovery time. This advancement aims to help more patients achieve clear vision without the need for glasses or contact lenses.
FUMC has been at the forefront of providing exceptional eye care for decades. Its medical expertise, combined with the latest advancements in vision correction, such as the ZEISS SMILE pro, has transformed the lives of many visually impaired Filipinos.
The ZEISS SMILE pro is a minimally invasive procedure designed to correct nearsightedness and astigmatism. Utilizing the advanced Zeiss Visumax 800 femtosecond laser, SMILE reshapes the cornea through a small incision, maintaining the biomechanical stability of the cornea, thereby protecting its integrity. The tiny incision also helps minimize post-operative dry eye. The laser ablation is completed in just nine seconds, faster compared to the earlier SMILE technology. This enhances patient comfort and overall procedural efficiency, and allows for a quick recovery time.
"Our integration of Zeiss SMILE pro underscores our dedication to pioneering the future of laser vision correction in the Philippines, providing Filipinos with the latest technology available, complemented by our caring and professional medical experts and staff," stated Dr. Vicente Santos, president of Fatima University Medical Center. "FUMC has a long and successful track record of achieving outstanding results for our eye care patients, and this latest advancement further solidifies our commitment to healthcare excellence."
