Maintaining healthy blood glucose levels is not only essential for overall health but also for protecting your eyesight. The eyes are highly sensitive to metabolic changes, and excess sugar in the blood can directly affect the blood vessels in the retina, progressively compromising vision.
Throughout life, our eyes—just like the rest of our body—undergo natural transformations. These changes can affect how we see, the sharpness of images, and even our ability to focus on objects that are near or far. Understanding why this happens is key to protecting eye health and detecting any alterations early.
The retina is a thin, light-sensitive layer located at the back of the eye. Its function is essential: to capture images and send them to the brain through the optic nerve.
Have you ever felt a small twitch in your eyelid that appears without warning and disappears shortly after? Although it can be uncomfortable or worrying, in most cases this involuntary movement is harmless and related to stress or fatigue.
Red eye is a common sign that can be alarming, but it does not always indicate a serious condition. It occurs due to dilation or inflammation of the blood vessels on the surface of the eye, making it appear reddish. Identifying the cause is essential for proper management.
Visual health does not depend solely on regular check-ups or the use of corrective lenses. Nutrition plays a fundamental role in maintaining clear vision and protecting our eyes from diseases. A balanced diet, rich in specific nutrients, can make a difference in how we see today and in preventing eye problems in the future.

“I came to the Espaillat Institute on the recommendation of a friend. And although I was surprised by how technologically advanced this medical space is, what filled me the most was the way in which each person on the team treats their patients. From the person who greets you at the door, to Dr. Espaillat himself, they make you feel important.

"About half a year ago, I began to feel that my right eye had a cataract. Dr. Espaillat performed the surgery on me approximately four months ago and it has been a great experience. Really when you arrive at the Institute you feel that in every exam, at every moment "They are professionals who take care of you and take you every step of the way."
Cataract surgery patient
I was referred to “The Instituto Espaillat Cabral “in Santo Domingo in 2018,to do an operation on my right eye. The operation was very successful. Dr. Arnaldo Espaillat did a fantastic job on my right eye. Before my operation, I could not read a book. Now I can read a book without reading glasses. I returned a second time for a check -up, which went very well also.
My experience at the clinic was very positive. I was well received and all the workers were very pleasant and welcoming.
