“Bausch + Lomb is present in over 100 countries around the world and we are pleased to be able to bring our products to the Philippines. Whilst some products have been available here in the past, we will now be working ourselves with eye care professionals to bring a wide range of products to the Filipino people. This approach is entirely consistent with our vision of becoming the best global eye health company and that means being the best here in the Philippines too,” says Dr. Javier.

Bausch + Lomb Philippines will offer products from across all three of the company’s business units: Vision Care, Pharmaceuticals and Surgical. Among Bausch + Lomb’s most popular brands are PureVision® contact lenses, renu® and BioTrue™ contact lens solutions, prescription and over the counter products pharmaceuticals such as Ocuvite® eye vitamin and mineral supplements and the state-of-the-art vitrectomy and phacoemulsification platform, the Stellaris® PC Vision Enhancement system. Within the Philippines, the Company will partner with eye care professionals, optical stores, doctors and pharmacists to market a full suite of eye health products and platforms.

Bausch + Lomb has partnered with some of the Philippines’ premiere hospitals such as the Asian Eye Institute, St. Lukes Medical Center, and East Avenue Medical Center as a provider of surgical equipment.

Prior to Bausch + Lomb’s establishment of a Philippine office, many surgical systems were sourced from a distributor or other markets. An established office within the Philippines promises eye health professionals not only enhanced access to products but more efficient servicing of these high- quality surgical platforms.

According IMA (International Market Assessment) Asia, eye specialists conduct an average of 80,000 cataract operations every year in the Philippines, as it still remains the leading cause of blindness for adults.

“There are many other cases of vision impairment that are preventable or treatable. For most people, this can be done by simply consulting with a doctor on a regular basis. We wish to do our part to help Filipinos See Better so that they can Live Better,” said Dr. Javier.
