For fifty-five years, the Espaillat Cabral Institute has left an indelible mark on the health sector, specifically in the field of ophthalmology, by carrying the torch and leading the way in the provision of services in this branch of medicine in the Dominican Republic. Innovation and the latest advances in ophthalmologic medical technology have been an unstoppable constant at the Institute throughout its history.
We have a complete and innovative center for ophthalmologic diagnostic studies and we offer consultation services for all subspecialties:
Red eye is a common sign that can be alarming, but it does not always indicate a serious condition. It occurs due to dilation or inflammation of the blood vessels on the surface of the eye, making it appear reddish. Identifying the cause is essential for proper management.
Visual health does not depend solely on regular check-ups or the use of corrective lenses. Nutrition plays a fundamental role in maintaining clear vision and protecting our eyes from diseases. A balanced diet, rich in specific nutrients, can make a difference in how we see today and in preventing eye problems in the future.
Makeup can enhance natural beauty and become part of many people’s daily routine. However, when it comes to the eyes, improper use of cosmetic products can cause irritation, infections, or even more serious eye health problems.
Since childhood, we’ve often heard warnings like “don’t read in the dark, you’ll damage your eyes.” But how true is this? Can the habit of reading in low light actually cause permanent damage to your vision?
Low vision is a significant decrease in visual ability that cannot be corrected with glasses, contact lenses, medication, or surgery. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines it as visual acuity less than 20/70 in the better eye with correction, or a considerable reduction in the visual field (peripheral vision), which affects the patient's autonomy.
Hormones play a fundamental role in the overall balance of the body, and the eyes are no exception. Different stages of life—such as adolescence, pregnancy, menopause, or certain medical conditions—cause hormonal variations that can directly influence eye health.

“I came to the Espaillat Institute on the recommendation of a friend. And although I was surprised by how technologically advanced this medical space is, what filled me the most was the way in which each person on the team treats their patients. From the person who greets you at the door, to Dr. Espaillat himself, they make you feel important.

"About half a year ago, I began to feel that my right eye had a cataract. Dr. Espaillat performed the surgery on me approximately four months ago and it has been a great experience. Really when you arrive at the Institute you feel that in every exam, at every moment "They are professionals who take care of you and take you every step of the way."
Cataract surgery patient
I was referred to “The Instituto Espaillat Cabral “in Santo Domingo in 2018,to do an operation on my right eye. The operation was very successful. Dr. Arnaldo Espaillat did a fantastic job on my right eye. Before my operation, I could not read a book. Now I can read a book without reading glasses. I returned a second time for a check -up, which went very well also.
My experience at the clinic was very positive. I was well received and all the workers were very pleasant and welcoming.
