Complete review of your vision with the most advanced technology
In the Ophthalmology Service of the Policlínica Comarcal del Vendrell, we perform a review to rule out the most frequent pathologies in people over 50 years of age: Refractive defects: myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, presbyopia (tired eyesight). Cataracts: loss of lens transparency. Glaucoma: increase in intraocular pressure that produces damage to the optic nerve. Age-Related Macular […]

After 40 years, the lens loses flexibility and eyestrain occurs (presbyopia), and after 60 years, transparency is progressively lost, causing loss of vision. The solution to this problem […]
