Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery is a safe, outpatient procedure to restore clear vision by removing the clouded natural lens of the eye and replacing it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). At Espaillat Oculo AI, we enhance this process using AI-driven diagnostics and personalized planning to select the most accurate lens for your eyes. This advanced approach improves precision, reduces visual surprises, and supports faster recovery—helping you see brighter, sharper, and more confidently.
Glaucoma Treatment
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, often due to elevated eye pressure. At Espaillat Oculo AI, we use advanced diagnostic tools and AI-powered monitoring to detect glaucoma early and personalize treatment plans. Depending on the severity, treatment may include medicated eye drops, laser therapy, or minimally invasive surgery to lower intraocular pressure and prevent vision loss. Early intervention is key to preserving sight and maintaining quality of life.
Diabetic Eye Disease Management
Diabetic eye disease can lead to serious vision problems, including diabetic retinopathy and macular edema. At Espaillat Oculo AI, we offer advanced screening and personalized care using AI-enhanced imaging to detect early signs of damage—even before symptoms appear. Our team creates tailored treatment plans, including lifestyle guidance, laser therapy, or intravitreal injections, to protect your vision and manage the impact of diabetes on your eyes. Early, proactive care is essential to preventing vision loss.
