Cheng Bigay gives herself a welldeserved LASIK rewardIn a world that demands constant attention to screens and digital devices, clear vision is essential for navigating our personal and professional lives. For many, relying on eyeglasses and contact lenses is an inconvenient part of their daily routine. The transformative power of LASIK surgery has emerged as a solution that sets one free, providing individuals with the opportunity to see the world through a new lens—one that allows them to just get up and go. No more grasping around for eyeglasses, no more packing contact lens solution and boxes of lenses.

Cheng Bigay went on her own vision transformation journey in 2023. She shares: “I’ve been wearing eyeglasses since fourth grade. I’ve managed to keep my prescription eyeglasses at 2.25 or less despite my love of reading and watching TV series. However, during the pandemic, my eyesight deteriorated due to the 24/7 work we were doing for our COVID-19 operations in the Office of the Vice President and the 2022 campaign. With my small eyes, contact lenses are not an option for me.”

Long-term solution

It didn’t take long before the inconveniences of wearing eyeglasses pushed Bigay to find a more long-term solution. From having to remove them to take photos to constantly adjusting as they slip down her nose bridge, even choosing an outfit became a struggle because she wanted it to pair well with her eyewear!

“Now that I have the luxury to take a long leave from work after months (or years!) of doing heavy multimedia work, I have decided it’s time for me to reward myself with LASIK—to see things clearly, literally and figuratively,” she explains.

Two factors helped Bigay choose her go-to eye institute for her surgery. Asian Eye Institute stood out as the only eye institute in the Philippines using the latest generation of VICTUS femtosecond laser and Teneo 2 excimer laser to make the procedure quicker, safer and more precise. Moreover, she felt more confident with Dr. Robert Ang, a multiawarded doctor recognized for pioneering eye care solutions and treatment.

‘In the best hands’

“In the best hands’ “I knew I was in the best hands,” she adds.

After undergoing comprehensive screening, she was finally cleared to get her LASIK surgery done. The procedure was quick, with minimal discomfort and no pain. She went home with post-surgery eye drops and after a restful sleep, she woke up with 20/20 vision.

“This is definitely lifechanging! Thank you, Lord!” Bigay exclaims.
