Your story

Does this sound familiar?

Many of my patients arrive with stories similar to yours

01.

Visible signs

That fleshy growth on the white of your eye, a hard bump on your eyelid that's been there for months, that redness that's become part of your daily life.

Pterygium Chalazion Red eye
02.

Blurry vision

Computer text isn't as clear anymore, street signs are harder to read, you need more light to review documents, and you keep holding your phone farther away. Maybe you've gotten used to squinting, but you still feel like you "don't see like before."

Myopia Astigmatism Presbyopia Hyperopia
03.

The concerns

The questions start: "Is it something serious?", "Why do I see halos around lights at night?", "Why do my eyes feel dry and tired every day?". Maybe you've been to several check-ups, had your prescription changed, but the discomfort continues.

Glaucoma Dry eye Cataract Floaters

Solutions exist!

With the right diagnosis, many of these issues have clear and quick solutions. From same-day outpatient surgeries—like removing the growth, the eyelid bump, or the cataract—to laser treatments to ditch your glasses.
The journey isn't just about "having surgery," it's about feeling supported every step of the way.

Services

Complete care for your eyes

Every treatment is designed to bring clarity back to your life, with the best technology and a personal touch.

Eyes feeling dry, burning, or gritty?

Dry Eye Syndrome

We identify what's causing your daily discomfort and provide the right treatment: a plan made for you.

Personalized follow-up

Red eye that won't go away?

Conjunctivitis · Allergies · Blepharitis

It could be an infection or allergy. The important thing is to identify it for the right treatment.

Quick care

Protect your vision from the "silent thief"

Glaucoma

Glaucoma doesn't warn you: by the time you notice vision loss, it's already gone forever. I closely monitor your eye pressure to act in time.

Regular monitoring

Seeing a spot or distortion in the center?

Macular Degeneration · Macular Edema

It could be a problem with the macula, the part of the eye that allows you to read and recognize faces.

Close follow-up

Eye Misalignment

Strabismus

Strabismus isn't just cosmetic: it can cause double vision and affect your safety. Early diagnosis and treatment in children prevents lazy eye.

Custom plan

Do you have diabetes or high blood pressure?

Diabetic Retinopathy · Hypertensive Retinopathy

These conditions can damage your retina without you noticing. I perform periodic exams to detect changes early.

Regular monitoring

You have a growth on the white part of your eye

Pterygium Surgery (including recurrent)

I use a technique where I take a small piece of tissue from your own eye to cover where the growth was. It heals better and greatly reduces the risk of recurrence.
If it came back after a previous surgery, there is still a solution using amniotic membrane.

Outpatient 20-25 min

Bump on your eyelid that won't go away?

Chalazion Surgery

If you've had a bump on your eyelid for weeks that isn't improving, it most likely needs surgery. It's quick, safe, and you go home the same day.

Outpatient 15-20 min

See clearly with vivid colors again

Cataract Surgery · Phacoemulsification

If you feel like you're seeing through a foggy window, it's probably a cataract. I remove that "cloudy lens" and put in a new one. You leave the same day seeing better.

Intraocular lens No hospitalization

Want to ditch glasses with cataract surgery?

Premium Intraocular Lenses (Multifocal · Toric)

There are special lenses that not only remove the cataract but also correct myopia, astigmatism, or the need for reading glasses. We choose the best option together.

Multiple options We decide together

Blurry vision months after cataract surgery?

YAG Laser Capsulotomy

Sometimes the capsule where the lens sits becomes cloudy. It's easily fixed with laser in 5 minutes, no surgery, no pain. You leave seeing clearly again.

YAG Laser 5 minutes

Suspicious mole or bump on your eyelid?

Eyelid Tumor Surgery

I carefully remove it, send it for analysis, and reconstruct the area to look as natural as possible. Your health and appearance matter.

Biopsy

Wake up seeing clearly, no more searching for glasses

Refractive Surgery

With laser surgery I correct myopia, astigmatism, and hyperopia. It takes about 15 minutes for both eyes and you go home the same day.

Outpatient 15 min both eyes

Tired of holding your phone farther away to read?

Presbyopia Correction

That's called presbyopia and it happens to everyone after 40. There are laser or special lens options so you can read without glasses.

Multiple options Personalized plan

Laser for Glaucoma Management

Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) · Iridotomy · Iridoplasty

If you have glaucoma or high eye pressure, there's a gentle laser treatment that helps fluid drain better.

What my patients say

Real stories from my patients.

"

After 20 years wearing glasses, Dr. Verónica performed laser surgery on me. The next day I woke up and could see the clock without searching for my glasses on the nightstand. I still get emotional when I tell the story.

LASIK Surgery
"

I had that growth for years and was embarrassed for people to see my eye. The doctor calmly explained everything, operated on me, and within two weeks you couldn't even notice it. I wish I had done it sooner.

My mom had a cataract and was afraid of surgery. Dr. Verónica sat with her, explained step by step, and reassured her. Today my mom sees colors "like when she was young," she says.

I had a bump on my eyelid for months that wouldn't go away with anything. The doctor drained it in 15 minutes and that same day I could open my eye properly. Super professional and very kind.

I work all day on the computer and my eyes were always dry and red. The doctor found what was causing it and gave me a treatment that really worked. I no longer end the day with burning eyes.
