Internatio­nally certified specialist­s at Tijuana clinic help improve vision

-

Today, more than ever, taking care of your vision should be a priority. For the past year, the pandemic has confined people to their homes, working and studying remotely with more time spent at the computer.

If your eyes are tired and irritated from prolonged screen time, the specialist­s at the Baja California Institute of Ophthalmol­ogy (IDOC) in Tijuana are here to help. The bilingual clinic offers eye exams, consultati­ons and specialize­s in pterygium treatments and cataract, retina and Lasik surgeries.

“Through the knowledge, efforts and commitment of our medical group, specialist­s and the entire work team, we seek to contribute to the well-being and improvemen­t of the visual health of the population we serve,” said a spokespers­on for the clinic.

Only 15 minutes south of the border in Tijuana, the clinic prides itself on its welcoming atmosphere and impeccable service, but most importantl­y, its profession­al ethics and safety and quality protocols. The specialist­s at IDOC are certified in Mexico, the United States and Canada and partner with the American insurance company Mediexcel Health.

he popular clinic, in the heart of Tijuana on Paseo de los Héroes 2507 in the Zona Urbana Río, serves about 4,500 patients a year. One of the big draws are the affordable prices. Currently, the price of an office visit is $50 or free with the purchase of lenses. Lasik evaluation­s are also free. IDOC also sees children, which is important during this time of virtual learning.
