And, also, the ophthalmologists at Clínicas Rincón also have the very latest in other laser techniques, such as the Yag or argon lasers, for the treatment of pathologies such as diabetic retinopathy, age-associated macular degeneration or special glaucoma care.

THE LATEST IN LASER, A SOLUTION FOR PATIENTS WITH GLASSES
Ophthalmology is the field of medicine where the use of laser technology provides the greatest range of treatments, as evidenced by the Ophthalmic Centre of Clinic Rincón.  The answer to getting rid of your glasses or lenses is called ezcimer laser, lasik technique, which cures problems of myopia, astigmatism and hypermetropia.  You only require one very simple intervention of 5 minutes duration and under local anaesthesia (drops).

DIABETES AND LOSS OF VISION
The specialists at Clínicas Rincón advise diabetics to undergo an ophthalmic revision every year from date of diagnosis, to prevent pathologies which might lead to blindness, such as glaucoma or diabetic retinopathy.
Given how significant these conditions are, the Ophthalmic centre of the Rincón Group use Argon laser for the treatment of diabetic retinopathy, which eliminates the affected parts of the retina from the healthy retina.  In addition, the Yag laser, together with its applications in cataract surgery, also contributes to the prevention and special care of glaucoma.

VISION, A JEWEL TO BE CARED FOR FROM CHILDHOOD
The prevention of ophthalmic illnesses and loss of vision must always be at the forefront of a family’s mind, with special attention paid to development in the very young:

Observation of the child’s vision will help prevention of amblyopia (lazy eye) and visit the ophthalmologist the moment any behavioural symptoms are noticed, such as frequent head-turning or excessive proximity to the television.
Ocular hygiene and rejection of self-medication, do not apply drops or dyes without the express authorisation of the ophthalmologist.
