Sarabia Optical celebrates 120th anniversary with a groundbreaking hub for vision assessment and care.
As digital lifestyles continue to reshape the way Filipinos live and work, eye health has become an increasingly important part of overall wellness. With longer hours spent on screens leading to rising cases of eye problems, patients have become more discerning about the quality of vision care they receive. Beyond simply correcting eyesight, many now seek more comprehensive, technology-driven, and personalized solutions that support both long-term eye health and modern lifestyles.
Recognizing this growing need for more advanced and personalized eye care, and as it celebrates its 120th year, Sarabia enters a new chapter with the launch of Sarabia360 x Essilor Premier. Located at Molito Lifestyle Center in Alabang, Sarabia360 x Essilor Premier brings together comprehensive assessments, personalized consultations, and advanced optical solutions in one destination. Designed to elevate the patient experience, the hub combines Sarabia’s longstanding expertise with globally recognized diagnostic and lens technologies powered by Essilor.
A partnership where tradition meets advanced technology
Founded in 1906 by Federico Sarabia, the first Filipino optometrist, Sarabia has built its reputation on a simple yet enduring commitment: helping Filipinos see better and live better.
“Reaching 120 years is both a privilege and a responsibility,” says JP Sarabia, Managing Director of Sarabia. “For generations, Filipino families have placed their trust in us. Sarabia360 x Essilor Premier is our way of honoring my grandfather’s legacy and preserving customer trust by investing in the future of eye care—bringing together advanced technology, personalized service, and a more holistic approach to vision health. While the tools have evolved, our purpose remains the same: helping people see better and live better. We are proud and honored to have Essilor Premier, one of the leading technology in vision care solutions, as our partner in advancing state of the art and patient-centered eye-care services our clients.”
Through its partnership with Essilor Premier, Sarabia’s commitment is realized with more precise assessments and highly tailored recommendations. At the same time, eye care professionals are empowered with advanced tools and the latest technology that enable deeper insights, greater efficiency, and a more personalized consultation experience.
Sarabia’s 360 Customer Experience
At Sarabia 360, the journey begins with the WAM 800, an advanced machine that performs comprehensive screenings for vision and eye conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, and corneal issues. In many clinics these tests are done separately and at higher cost, but here they are brought together in one quick, comfortable exam. From there, clarity comes through the Vision‑S 700, an AI‑assisted eye test and the first of its kind in the Philippines. This immersive exam allows patients to experience how their new prescription will feel in everyday life. The journey concludes with the Visioffice 3, an AI‑assisted frame and face analysis system that ensures lenses are precisely fitted to each individual’s true vision experience by studying posture and visual habits.
Together, these innovations form a seamless 360 experience that blends advanced technology with Sarabia’s enduring patient‑centered care.Together, these stages form Sarabia’s 360 experience, from assessment, to detection, to the personalized fit of frames and lenses, proving that genuine eye-care services are more than just the machines, but about giving every guest a clearer, more comfortable, and more confident way to see.
By combining decades of trusted local expertise with global innovation, Sarabia 360 sets a new benchmark for modern eye care in the Philippines. Sarabia 360 x Essilor Premier represents a future where AI technology, personalized service, and patient-centered care come together to help Filipinos see more clearly, live more confidently, and prioritize eye health as an integral part of everyday life.
