For fifty-six years, the Espaillat Cabral Institute has left an indelible mark on the health sector, specifically in the field of ophthalmology, by carrying the torch and leading the way in the provision of services in this branch of medicine in the Dominican Republic. Innovation and the latest advances in ophthalmologic medical technology have been an unstoppable constant at the Institute throughout its history.
We have a complete and innovative center for ophthalmologic diagnostic studies and we offer consultation services for all subspecialties:
Eyelids serve an important function: they protect the eyes and help maintain an expressive look. Over time, some people notice looser skin on their upper eyelids or observe that the eyelids appear lower. These are common changes, and in many cases, they can be evaluated and addressed through a personalized approach.
Myopia is one of the most common vision problems during childhood and adolescence. In many children, the prescription may increase over the years, making it necessary to change their glasses periodically.
Every day, your eyes receive thousands of images: a smile, the scenery while you drive, a screen, a sunset, the face of someone you love. But for all of that to become what we actually see, there is one part of the eye that does an extraordinary job and often goes unnoticed: the retina.
A shadow, dark spot, or "curtain-like" sensation that suddenly appears in your vision can be easy to overlook. However, when you notice a sudden change in your vision, it is important to pay attention.
Do your eyes feel dry, irritated, or as if there is something in them? Do they feel tired after spending hours in front of a screen?
Having high eye pressure doesn't necessarily mean you have glaucoma. Although there is a relationship between the two conditions, they are not the same.

“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.
