Our Story

For more than two decades, Asian Eye Institute has been at the forefront of innovation in eye care services in the Philippines.

Asian Eye Institute: How We Became a Leading Eye Care Provider in the Philippines

Asian Eye Institute opened their doors with the noble goal of providing Filipinos with world-class ophthalmic services. Since our inception, we continue to offer excellent eye care services to thousands upon thousands of patients every year. This is thanks to our highly skilled doctors and professional medical staff.

ASIAN EYE INSTITUTE’S HISTORY

Our Humble Beginnings

Asian Eye Institute is a proud member of the First Philippine Holdings (FPH), which is owned by the Lopez Group. The institute, after all, is the culmination of the vision and perseverance of the late Mr. Oscar M. Lopez, former Lopez Group chair, and Dr. Felipe I. Tolentino, a world-renowned Filipino-American ophthalmologist. For many years, Mr. Lopez had to travel to Boston to get specialized treatments for his glaucoma.

 

During his visits abroad, he established a lasting friendship with Dr. Tolentino. They recognized the Filipinos’ urgent need for quality eye care, eventually leading them to build a center in the Philippines addressing this.

Dr. Tolentino then selected Harvard-trained ophthalmologists with different specializations to be the core medical team of Asian Eye Institute. Mr. Lopez mobilized his management team to organize and establish the center, supported by business and public service leaders who believed and shared the same vision. 

 

Through their efforts, the far-reaching dream of providing quality eye care to Filipinos became a reality.
