Refractive Surgery with Laser

This is a technique that has provided very good results and has been used at the center for 17 years. Our equipment has been modernized to include the most advanced laser system currently available, in an ongoing effort to improve our services.

Surgery for Presbyopia

Many people suffer from tired eyes. For this reason the Centro Hospitalario Virgen del Pilar offers an effective solution for this problem, through lens implant and re-implant.

In this regard, our ophthalmologists always recommend a prior study of the patient to ensure that the operation can go forward and will be a success. To this end, a large team of medical experts and specialists are available to advise patients, providing them with the best solution and possibility for success.

Macular Degeneration

The aging of our society has meant an increase in the number of people affected by macular degeneration, which has become the leading cause of vision loss, in some cases irreversible, in individuals of a certain age.

Some of the most common symptoms are the appearance of a blind spot in your field of vision or blurry vision

At the Centro Hospitalario Virgen del Pilar we have a team of experts that can offer the best solution to tackle this problem by using different technologies, such as vitrectomy.
