VISUALIZA VISION CENTERS

In our vision centers, we continue to bring visual health to a greater number of people. During the month of May, different evaluations and activities were carried out in different parts of the country, with the objective of promoting the importance of taking care of eye health and providing specialized attention to those who need it.

Escuintla Vision Center

Ophthalmological evaluations at the La Ceiba school, aimed at both teachers and children. The main objective of these evaluations was to detect any refractive defects in the children and determine if they needed to use glasses to correct their vision. A complete eye evaluation was also performed on the teachers and they were provided with the necessary referral to the Vision Center in Escuintla.

In addition, an ophthalmology day was also organized in Nueva Concepción in order to identify patients with visual diseases. During this day, comprehensive evaluations were carried out to detect different eye conditions and the necessary referrals were provided according to each patient’s needs. Those who required treatment or more specialized care were referred to our headquarters in zone 9 or to the Vision Center, where they will receive the appropriate care from our professionals.
