Asian Eye Institute

What Asian Eye Institute does

Asian Eye Institute Inc. is a privately held ophthalmology clinic network headquartered in the Philippines, founded in 2001 and operating five clinic locations across Metro Manila (Rockwell, TriNoma, Alabang, Power Plant Mall) and Batangas province. The company delivers a comprehensive eye care service portfolio spanning routine diagnostic exams (visual acuity, refraction, glaucoma and cataract screening), refractive surgery (LASIK, PRK, TransPRK, ICL, and the Philippines-exclusive Supracor presbyopia procedure), cataract surgery (including the VICTUS Femtosecond Laser platform, exclusive to the institute in the country), therapeutic procedures (BlephEx, corneal cross-linking, retinal injections, corneal transplant, oculoplasty), and pediatric and specialized optometric services (orthoptics, sports vision training, orthokeratology, myopia control, low-vision rehabilitation). It serves a broad patient base of 75,000+ annually across all age groups, including international patients, and is led clinically by Dr. Robert T. Ang, recognized in The Ophthalmologist Power List 2024 (Top 100).

Underlying the service portfolio is advanced ophthalmic hardware, principally Bausch + Lomb's VICTUS Femtosecond Laser and Teneo 2 Excimer Laser, which enable bladeless, high-precision corneal flap creation and reshaping. The company operates fellowship programs and a research/publications track, supporting clinical talent development. It is the sole Philippine provider of the Supracor procedure and the VICTUS platform for combined cataract-LASIK use, with documented outcomes including over 90% of LASIK patients achieving 20/20 vision and 94% remaining glasses-free five years post-surgery.

The business model combines professional services revenue from consultations and diagnostics, one-time surgical procedure revenue (LASIK, cataract surgery, PRK, ICL, corneal cross-linking, etc.), hardware sales of optical products through both physical clinics and an e-commerce shop (asianeyeshop.com), and specialized optometric services (Ortho-K lenses, BlephEx, sports vision, myopia control). Pricing is quote-based and consultation-driven with periodic promotional discounts; HMO partnerships, teleconsultation, and concierge services for international patients supplement the predominantly direct-to-consumer channel. Marketing combines content/SEO, organic social, promotional campaigns, and patient testimonials. The company is privately held with no disclosed parent, funding rounds, or external investors.
