Price check? Eyes check!

The hidden cost of not getting your eyes checked

Filipinos are really meticulous when it comes to spending. We compare prices, check promos, and even haggle over small purchases at the wet market. But when it comes to our eyesight—the very sense that helps us navigate traffic, read messages from our loved ones, or enjoy our favorite coffee on a lazy weekend—we tend to be surprisingly casual.

If you can still read your phone or recognize people across the room, it is easy to assume your vision is “good enough.” But eyesight does not always fail dramatically. More often, it fades subtly, weaving small inconveniences into everyday life until we accept them as normal.

Dry Eyes Disease (DED) is a condition when moisture in the eyes is not sufficient, or there are tears but poor quality and composition for proper lubrication, which can lead to inflammation or damage the eyes’ surface. The majority of dry eye diseases stem from extended use of electronic devices. Dry eye disease can also result from prolonged exposure to the dry air found in air-conditioned environments. This leads to millions experiencing the three primary symptoms of dry eye disease such as sandy eyes (Magaspang na Mata), burning eyes (Mahapding Mata), and tired eyes (Pagod na Mata).
