TREATMENTS

Opacification inside the eye (lens) that causes progressive loss of visual acuity. Vision can be recovered through a surgical procedure in which the cataracts are removed and a new lens is put in their place. There are three types: monofocal IOL, multifocal IOL and toric IOL./p>

Eye disease that affects the optic nerve. One of the most important risk factors implicated in glaucoma is high intraocular pressure. If left untreated, glaucoma can lead to irreversible damage of vision and cause partial or total blindness.

Eye membrane located at the back of the eye, in its innermost, light-sensitive area. The purpose of the retina is to convert all the information received on outside images –once it has gone through the different parts of the eye– into electrical signals that are sent to the brain. In fact, the retina can be considered an extension of the brain located inside the eye.

In corneal transplant surgery, the clear layer in the anterior, outermost part of the eye is replaced.

Abnormal eye alignment caused by a lack of muscle coordination that prevents the patient from focusing both eyes in the same direction.

We use laser to perform all the treatments that can be done with this technology. Three types of laser are used: argon, YAG and excimer, depending on the type of surgical procedure.

Surgical procedure performed on the eyelids for poor position and drooping, among other problems.

Blocked tear ducts occur in patients in whom the flow of tears from the eye toward the nose is obstructed, resulting in constant secretion (tearing and crusty secretion).

One of the solutions most commonly used to correct corneal problems and prevent corneal transplantation in patients in whom the lower part of the cornea shows only mild degeneration. The condition produces thinning and bulging of the cornea, phenomena that cause severe astigmatism and poor vision despite optical correction.

Chalazion is one of the most significant conditions that can affect the eyelids. The term is used to refer to inflammation of the meibomian glands due to accumulation in the glands of the sebaceous matter they secrete. In mild cases, a painless lump usually forms in the upper eyelid and then disappears a few months later. When the tumor persists, however, it becomes enlarged and generally forms a cyst that is most unsightly and affects vision. In these cases in which the cyst is more severe, surgery is usually needed to remove the cyst.

Our team can help fit you with contact lens and perform follow-up to ensure optimal vision correction.

We look at all eye- and vision-related problems that can be caused by diabetes.

We apply the knowledge of this field of medicine to children from birth until the onset of puberty.

Electrophysiology and Neuro-Ophthalmology are medical specialities involved in the study and diagnose of disorders or damage related to the nervous system of the eye and its electric activity.

A series of tests are performed to check that information moves between the retina and the brain properly, in terms of both image and mobility.

Various solutions that provide tools/magnifying aids to patients with poor sight or reduced vision are available.
