The Lasik Surgery Clinic – Angeles University Foundation Medical Center (AUFMC) recently joined hands with the Philippine Air Force (PAF) to conduct an impactful eye health awareness program aimed at supporting the vision health of the dedicated PAF members. This initiative, led by COL Maribelle B. Manangbao, PAF (MNSA), brought eye care directly to Philippine Air Force personnel, offering free eye screenings and insightful information sessions to promote preventive eye care practices among those whose work requires good eyesight.

Notably, The Lasik Surgery Clinic’s expert eye care team highlighted the importance of maintaining optimal vision, especially for professionals engaged in high-stakes roles like those in the PAF. The clinic’s educational sessions provided practical advice on protecting vision, including managing screen time, ensuring sufficient rest for the eyes, and recognizing early symptoms of eye strain. Emphasis was placed on preventive care, as many common vision problems, like cataracts, retinal disorders, and other age-related eye conditions, can often be mitigated by adopting proactive health practices. The clinic highlighted that eye care isn’t just about addressing problems when they arise — it’s about maintaining long-term eye health to avoid these potential complications.

For PAF personnel, a clear vision is not simply a matter of convenience but essential to mission success. Pilots, aircrew, and maintenance teams rely on sharp eyesight for tasks that require precision, quick decision-making, and situational awareness. A slight decrease in visual acuity could impact job performance, safety, and even the success of a mission. This makes eye care critical to their roles. The Lasik Surgery Clinic’s initiative provided these personnel with a timely opportunity to assess their current eye health status and make informed choices about ongoing care.

This eye health awareness program demonstrated The Lasik Surgery Clinic’s commitment to supporting organizations like the PAF by advocating for preventive healthcare and fostering a culture of health consciousness. By enabling PAF personnel to manage their eye health proactively, the clinic empowered them with knowledge and resources to support their professional and personal lives.

Furthermore, the success of this event reflects the clinic’s dedication to quality healthcare and the PAF’s commitment to their team’s well-being. It exemplified the value of health initiatives, showcasing how an organization can positively impact its members through health-focused partnerships.

Ultimately, The Lasik Surgery Clinic and the PAF have set a strong example of how maintaining a clear vision and prioritizing preventive care can contribute to operational excellence and overall quality of life.
