Dr. Amanda Rey, member of the Retina and Vitreous Department at ICR, explained in one of our weekly clinical sessions the dangers associated to the use of laser pointers upon the retina.

Refractive or vision correction surgery is a set of ophthalmologic surgical procedures aimed at correcting refractive defects such as myopia or high myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism and presbyopia or eyestrain to achieve good visual quality and avoid depending on the use of glasses or contact lenses.

ICR has received the Applus+ certification of Hygiene and Control protocols, which verifies the good practices of the center with regard to the physical environment and basic hygiene measures, technical measures, organizational measures, control of labor personnel and access control measures.

.According to a new study, few people with COVID will develop eye problems. However, when these problems do occur, they can range from mild to very serious vision problems. Many of them can even affect the retina.

There are two visual disturbances that usually occur during childhood and are often confused or misunderstood. They are amblyopia, better known as “lazy eye”, and strabismus. We explain what each one is, how to differentiate between them and what is the most appropriate treatment in each case.

Eye emergencies can be frightening, especially when we are away from home. Suffering an accident or injury while on vacation can cut our plans short or, even worse, some conditions can lead to permanent vision loss if not treated properly. Therefore, we offer you some eye tips for traveling without putting your eye health at risk.
