Visualiza Hospital Holds Visual Health Day at the Guatemalan Air Force.

In its ongoing commitment to improving the visual health of Guatemalans, Visualiza Hospital held a free ophthalmological day at the facilities of the Guatemalan Air Force. The objective of this activity was to examine patients and detect people with visual problems, especially those who could benefit from cataract surgery, the main cause of preventable blindness in the world.

During the day, dozens of patients from different areas of the capital city were treated free of charge by the team of specialists at Visualiza Hospital.

The exams included complete eye exams, diagnoses of refractive problems and the detection of eye pathologies, such as cataracts. This initiative is part of Visualiza’s social commitment, whose purpose is to bring ophthalmological care to people who need it most and do not have access to specialized treatments.

Cataracts: A Problem That Can Be Solved

Cataracts are a common eye condition, especially in older adults, that causes progressive vision loss. In advanced stages, they can lead to blindness if not treated in time. The good news is that, with a simple and highly effective surgery, vision can be almost completely restored.

The event at the Guatemalan Air Force allowed the identification of several patients with cataracts who are now being evaluated to receive the donation of surgeries. These operations will be fully covered by Visualiza as part of its social program, which seeks to restore sight to hundreds of people each year.
