A name synonymous with vision Sarabia is an icon in the field of optometry, ophthalmology, and a leading provider of the best brands. 2006 marks its centennial year in the business. Since its creation, it has been an eyecare provider covering all aspects related to vision from eye checkups, prescription glasses and contact lenses, ophthalmology, optometry, as well as essential and vanity eye care products. This one-stop eyecare provider offers brands that include Bass, Calvin Klein, CK, DKNY, Donna Karan, Emperio Armani, Escada, Fubu, Giorgio Armani, Gucci, Guess, Lancetti, Mossimo, Nike, Police, Polo Sport, Polo Jeans, Ralph Lauren, Ray-Ban, Renoma, Silhoutte, YSL and other eyewear. The patriarch of the institution that is SARABIA is Dr. Federico B. Sarabia (1886-1954). He was the first Filipino optometrist and founder of the Sarabia Optical Clinic chain. Sarabia has become the standard to follow in eyecare since the early days of the antiparras, gafas, or anteojos to today’s slim wire-rimmed spectacles, perforated titanium frames with lavender highlights, traditional frames with tinted lenses and the like. Indeed, the Sarabia name has been synonymous with vision for close to a century!” (In fact, Dr. Federico Sarabia made the glasses of Dona Trining, sister of Dr. Jose Rizal who himself was an eye doctor!)

Although many storefronts bear the Sarabia name, each is distinct and are separate and independent business entities. VIVIAN SARABIA WORLD OF OPTICS is as distinct as VIVIAN herself is.

She has taken her rightful place as one of the country’s most respected image authorities and has made eyewear status accessories to be coveted, deliberated over, collected, and changed with the seasons. Styling the most famous faces in cinema, TV, business, and politics, she helped create a new found appreciation of how eyewear can enhance a person’s appearance.

VIVIAN SARABIA especially stand-out not only for her optometric expertise and business savvy, but also for being known as the most preferred and trusted eyewear_stylist and consultant for powers in industry and finance; celebrities from movies, music and the other arts; political bigwigs; and, of course ordinary people like you and me. With Vivian, the Sarabia tradition continues with her son Dr. Francis Sarabia-Ong, the fourth generation to follow in Dr. Federico Sarabia’s footsteps.
