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:
Many people only visit an ophthalmologist when they start to notice that they “can’t see well.” However, eye health goes far beyond reading blurry letters. A routine eye exam not only corrects vision—it also helps detect eye diseases early, many of which can progress without symptoms.
Presbyopia is a natural age-related condition that makes everyday activities—such as reading your phone, using a computer, or looking at a restaurant menu—more challenging.
Presbyopia, also known as age-related farsightedness or “tired eyesight,” is a natural change in vision that usually appears after the age of 40. It occurs when the eye gradually loses its ability to focus on nearby objects, making everyday activities such as reading a cellphone, a book, or a label more difficult.
Many people assume they only need to change their glasses when they can no longer “see anything.” However, vision can deteriorate progressively and silently, causing you to adapt to poor vision without even realizing it. That’s why updating your glasses and prescription on time is key to maintaining good eye health and a good quality of life.
Eye makeup is often intensified on certain occasions, with the use of shimmery eyeshadows, bold eyeliner, and false lashes. However, some makeup habits—often normalized—can affect eye health without us realizing it, causing irritation, discomfort, or infections.
The beginning of a new year encourages us to reflect on our habits and pay more attention to our health. Among the most common resolutions are exercising more, eating better, or getting more sleep—but there’s one that is often left off the list: taking care of our 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.
