Showcasing Excellence in Eye Surgery! 👁

Last week, our PMCZ eye surgeons, Dr. Elizabeth Giller, assisted by Dr. Jayjumhar Precia, demonstrated their expertise by performing a complex anterior segment surgery. Using the advanced scleral fixation technique, they successfully repositioned a dislocated intraocular lens. This approach offers a safer alternative to older techniques like placing lenses in the anterior chamber (ACIOL), which carries a higher risk of corneal decompensation.

Our External Disease and Cornea Team are the only subspecialists in their field in Zamboanga City. Dr. Giller and Dr. Precia have also received international acclaim for their research and innovative surgical contributions, and we are beyond proud to have them in our PMCZ team of eye specialists.

Here's to advancing the field of ophthalmology in the region. 💯

Special thanks to our incredible speakers, Dr. Edward Chio Jr. and Dr. Maijann Precia, for sharing their expertise, and to all the participants for making this event a success.
