We will be back for the left eye.”</p><p>“It is a Happy Valentine’s Day indeed!,” she added.</p><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/CooRMbQrjDa/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=506&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A1318291%2C%22ls%22%3A1317677.1000000238%2C%22le%22%3A1317681.7000000477%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="880" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>In Ruffa Gutierrez’s IG story, she commented on the success of her dad’s surgery.</p><p>“One day post cataract surgery, dad is raving how he can see clearly now,” she said, crediting her dad’s doctor.</p><p>Both Ruffa and Annabelle also shared a post from the Asian Eye Institute.

The talent manager denied this, citing that she has never undergone surgery in her life.</p><p>“Simula ng bata pa ako hanggang ngayon never akong nagpa gawa sa mukha at sa buong katawan ko,” Annabelle said. “What you see is what you get at unang una takot ako sa operation at injection.”</p><p>She did, however, admit to getting a facial from a celebrity dermatologist and credits her clinic for keeping her looking “forever young”.</p>
