An ophthalmologist is a medical specialist who studies, diagnoses, prevents, and treats eye and vision diseases.
This section is dedicated to medical retinal pathologies, such as diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), vascular occlusions, and other diseases that progressively affect vision and require specialized management and ongoing follow-up.
Although my specialty is focused on the cornea, ocular surface, and refractive surgery, I also hold a Master's degree in Retina Surgery, which allows me to comprehensively address both anterior and posterior segment problems. This training qualifies me to offer accurate diagnoses and up-to-date treatments in the field of medical retinal surgery. I do not perform retinal surgeries.
I am an ophthalmologist with advanced training and experience in Mexico and Spain, specializing in cornea, external eye diseases, and refractive surgery with a master Degree in Medical Retinal Pathologies.
Medical Degree: Faculty of Medicine, National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).
Ophthalmology Residency: Gregorio Marañón University Hospital (Madrid, Spain).
Master's Degree in Pathology and Surgery of the Macula, Retina and Vitreous. Cardenal Herrera University. Spain
Cornea & Refractive Surgery Fellowship: Conde de Valenciana Institute (Mexico).
Private Practice: Worked at Clínica Salvà (Mallorca, Spain), collaborating with the Public Health Service and Balearic Islands’ Medical Unions, performing general ophthalmology consultations and surgeries.
Public Hospital: Served at Plasencia Hospital (Extremadura, Spain), focusing on cataract surgeries and retinal diagnostics.
International Council of Ophthalmology (ICO): Validates global competency.
European Board of Ophthalmology (EBO): Certifies expertise under EU standards.
Mexican Council of Ophthalmology: Ensures excellence in Mexico.
I prioritize professional excellence and personalized patient outcomes, combining cutting-edge techniques with compassionate care.
Although all are subspecialties within ophthalmology, anterior segment pathologies (cornea, cataract, ocular surface, and refractive surgery) are radically different from posterior segment diseases (retina) in:
Pathophysiology
Progression
Complementary diagnoses
Types of treatment
Specific emergencies
Visual prognosis
For this reason, I have decided to separate this page and organize it as an independent site with exclusive medical retina content. This allows for a clearer, more in-depth, and up-to-date explanation of each pathology, as well as improving the patient experience when searching for accurate information about their condition.
