What patients
ask us most

It's the subspecialty that studies vision problems related to the brain and nerves, not just the eye. It covers cases where vision is affected by neurological causes.

Double vision, visual field loss, a drooping eyelid, pupil abnormalities, optic nerve pain, and other symptoms that connect vision to the nervous system.

It's not required, but if a neurologist or another specialist referred you, bring your test results and reports to help speed up your evaluation.

She sees patients at Centro Láser, in Santo Domingo. You can request your appointment online or via WhatsApp.
