Vision is a highly specialised system, and any deterioration in it can affect a person’s independence, safety and quality of life. Treating vision problems requires an accurate diagnosis and a treatment plan tailored to each patient.

When to book an eye test An ophthalmology assessment is recommended in the event of visual symptoms or abnormalities, in patients with risk factors or a history of possible eye conditions, as well as for regular check-ups or preventive screenings, even in the absence of symptoms.

Precision diagnosis and personalised care

We have the most advanced technology at our disposal and work in a coordinated manner to cover a wide range of specific diagnostic tests designed to detect any eye condition. Every patient is different, which is why we tailor the diagnostic process to their specific needs, supporting them every step of the way.

We offer comprehensive examinations and diagnostic tests, including:

  • Refractive and optometric examination

  • Ocular biometry

  • Corneal topography and analysis

  • Campimetry and visual field testing

  • Diagnostic imaging of the posterior segment

In cases of systemic conditions affecting the eye, the management is coordinated with Endocrinology, Neurology or Internal Medicine, as appropriate.

Eye surgery and advanced techniques

The department offers a comprehensive surgical approach to the treatment of eye conditions using advanced techniques and minimally invasive procedures.

We perform cataract, retinal, glaucoma and corneal surgery, intravitreal injections, treatment for diabetic retinopathy and blepharoplasty, amongst other procedures, with teams specialising in each area of surgical ophthalmology.

Procedures are carried out using state-of-the-art technology and are tailored to each patient’s individual characteristics and visual needs.

Each procedure is planned on an individual basis, in accordance with criteria of precision, safety and quality of care.

Eye care and prevention Regular eye tests enable the early detection of changes or abnormalities in the eyes, facilitating early intervention and helping to preserve long-term eye health.

Ongoing visual monitoring and management

Ophthalmological monitoring is key to maintaining long-term visual health. Through regular check-ups tailored to each condition, we assess clinical progress, optimise treatment and ensure a rapid response to any deterioration.

In chronic conditions, such as glaucoma or age-related macular degeneration, continuous monitoring facilitates the early detection of changes and the optimisation of treatment at every stage of the process.

Specialist team and ongoing support

The team sets aside specific time during consultations to explain the diagnosis, the visual prognosis and the available treatment options. They provide details of the risks, recovery times and realistic expectations for any procedure.

Decision-making is a shared process, particularly in the case of elective surgery or chronic conditions requiring long-term follow-up.

Coordination with other specialities enables us to offer a comprehensive approach when the eye condition forms part of a systemic condition.

Specialist assessment in ophthalmology

An expert assessment makes it possible to accurately identify the cause of the visual impairment, determine the most appropriate treatment strategy and draw up a personalised plan aimed at preserving vision in the long term.
