BOROUGH Lasik Center celebrates its first year at Ayala Malls Abreeza, marking a milestone in providing world-class eye care to Mindanao. Previously just offering refractive surgeries, BLC Davao is now Philhealth-accredited and can provide cataract surgeries, both conventional and bladeless.
Z Laser Lens Replacement, also known as Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery, is a bladeless procedure that offers a safer, more precise, and more comfortable patient experience. Unlike conventional surgery that uses blades, Z Laser Lens Replacement utilizes laser technology for gentler incisions, faster healing, and clearer visual outcomes.
BLC Davao is the first facility in the region to offer this premium procedure, bringing advanced eye care closer to Mindanaoans.
Z Laser is powered by Zeimer Z8 LDV, which is a Swiss-made femtosecond laser trusted by leading eye centers worldwide for its accuracy and consistency.
With Premium Multifocal lenses, patients have the option to restore clearer eyesight while reducing dependence on eyeglasses.
Present at the Grand Opening of BLC on August 21, 2025, were: Dr. Gabriel Juan “Ches” Heredia – President and Head Refractive Surgeon; Dr. Feredrico “Ricky” Aranzamendez III –Chief Operating Officer; Dr. Gabriel “Gary” Bunagan – BLC Davao Medical Director; Refractive surgeons Dr. Teodoro “Ted” Arcenas III and Dr. Crisostomo “Jun” Serrano Jr.
BLC is located on the 3rd Level of Abreeza Ayala Mall, Corporate Center Wing.
