If you've been dealing with eye issues that regular glasses just can't fix—or you're tired of waking up and immediately reaching for your specs—Licera Vision Care might just have the solution you've been looking for.
Located along Arroyo Street in Brgy Zone 1, Sta. Barbara, Iloilo, this isn't your typical optical shop. Dr. Gerald A. Licera runs a specialty practice that goes beyond the usual eye exam and prescription update. They handle the complicated stuff: keratoconus management, dry eyes, and even myopia control for kids and adults who want to keep their nearsightedness from getting worse.
What makes them different?
Here's the thing: Licera Vision Care is the only clinic in Panay offering scleral contact lenses and orthokeratology. That's a pretty big deal if you know what those are—and an even bigger deal if you need them.
Scleral lenses are for patients with serious corneal issues like keratoconus or post-surgery complications. We're talking about cases where regular glasses, soft contacts, or even corrective surgery won't cut it anymore. These lenses are custom-fitted and rest on the white part of your eye (the sclera), vaulting over the cornea to give you clear, comfortable vision.
Orthokeratology (or ortho-k) is basically magic: you wear specially designed contact lenses while you sleep, and they gently reshape your cornea overnight. When you wake up and take them off, boom—clear vision all day without glasses or daytime contacts. It's FDA-approved, reversible, and perfect for active lifestyles.
Serving communities beyond the city
Dr. Licera's vision (pun intended) is to bring top-tier eye care to communities outside Metro Iloilo. That's why they've set up shop in Sta. Barbara and San Miguel—places that don't always have access to specialized optometric services. Whether it's a general eye consult, follow-up exam, or advanced treatment, they've got you covered.
