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:
Keratoconus is a progressive corneal disease in which the cornea—the clear, dome-shaped front surface of the eye—becomes thinner and gradually bulges outward into a cone-like shape instead of maintaining its normal curvature. As a result, vision becomes blurred, distorted, and often difficult to correct with conventional eyeglasses.
Summer is often associated with vacations, outdoor activities, and spending more time in the sun. However, high temperatures, wind, constant air conditioning, and other changes in our routines can affect the ocular surface and cause dry eye symptoms to appear or worsen.
Conjunctivitis is an inflammation of the conjunctiva, the transparent membrane that covers the white part of the eye and the inside of the eyelids. It is one of the most common eye conditions in children and can be caused by viruses, bacteria, or allergies.
The use of computers, smartphones, tablets, and other electronic devices has become an essential part of our daily lives. However, spending long hours in front of a screen can lead to a variety of visual discomforts collectively known as Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) or Digital Eye Strain.
Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of irreversible vision loss worldwide. It is a disease that progressively damages the optic nerve, the structure responsible for transmitting visual information from the eye to the brain.
Diabetes is a condition that can affect different organs of the body, including the eyes. One of the most common and potentially serious complications is diabetic retinopathy, a disease that damages the blood vessels of the retina and, if not detected and treated early, can lead to permanent vision loss.

“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.
