  "account": "MANILA, Philippines — Asian Eye Institute (AEI), a leader in multi-specialty eye care in the Philippines for 25 years, is marking its milestone with discounted services and expanded accessibility initiatives. AEI is offering up to 25 percent off on diagnostic and surgical procedures at its facilities from October 1 to 15, 2026, to celebrate its anniversary and show appreciation to its patients and stakeholders. In addition to the discount offer, AEI has renewed its dedication to First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos’ LAB for ALL, providing free comprehensive eye exams, glasses, medicines, and protective goggles to underserved communities.\n\nEstablished in 1999 following a dinner conversation between Oscar Lopez and Dr. Felipe Tolentino, AEI started as a single clinic in Rockwell, Makati City, with support from seven Harvard-trained doctors. Today, it operates five internationally certified locations and employs 19 internationally trained specialists. AEI's journey is deeply rooted in its founders' personal experiences, with AEI's chairman and CEO Federico \"Piki\" Lopez highlighting his father's struggle for accessible expertise and technology.\n\nThroughout its 25 years, AEI has restored and protected the vision of over 300,000 patients through advanced diagnostics, consultations, and surgical procedures, including cataract removal, LASIK, and cosmetic operations. As a research institution, AEI continually contributes to the advancement of ophthalmology and optometry in Asia, introducing notable technological and clinical breakthroughs.\n\nTo celebrate its anniversary, AEI will also embark on additional social impact initiatives, including medical missions and charity activities for vulnerable sectors, aiming to extend its commitment to making quality eye care more accessible to those in need.
