Enjoy “a life to see”,
Taking care of your eyes and their appearance
The Vissum Grupo Miranza and Miranza Clínica Palomares eye wellness centres cover all areas of ophthalmology and oculofacial aesthetics, with the support of a team of interpreters assisting international patients who come to our renowned clinics.
The leading group in centres of excellence in ophthalmology, Miranza, is present on the Spanish east coast with several locations that attract national and international patients thanks to their medical prestige and customised treatment. The Vissum Grupo Miranza clinics in Alicante and the Miranza Clínica Palomares in Benidorm, boasting 30 years of experience, are benchmarks in the area and feature associated consultation centres in Alcoi, Altea, Torrevieja and Lorca, thus making the best eye care accessible.
Thanks to agreements with all international health and travel insurances, as well as the support of a team of interpreters offering multilingual assistance, people from other countries find in Miranza trusted centres, where they can put their eye care in good hands.
Internationally renowned ophthalmologists The Group brings together 80% of the most prominent names in ophthalmology in Spain, whose recognition also crosses borders. This is the case of Dr Jorge Alió, founder of Vissum Grupo Miranza and a world pioneer in the management of keratoconus and in the field of corneal transplants, using selective techniques that no longer require replacing all of this eye tissue, but only affected parts. Dr Alió has also contributed to the development and application of minimally invasive laser refractive surgery techniques, such as ReLEx SMILE, which is currently the most innovative technique available.
Refractive surgery, with multiple options according to each case, is another of the Miranza centres’ speciality areas to reduce the dependence on glasses for patients with myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism and/or presbyopia. This actual goal, which is important to many people with regard to their quality of life and ocular well-being, is also a benefit of modern cataract surgery. Dr Juan Palomares, a medical director at Miranza Clínica Palomares, explains that “when operating on cataracts, we implant an intraocular lens which, thanks to the new premium models, allows you to see well not only from afar, but also up close and at intermediate distances when working with a computer”.
Eye health care … and oculofacial aesthetics Apart from dispensing with glasses, another demand many patients have is to improve the appearance of the face and, above all, the eyes, where most of the aesthetic problems and signs of ageing concentrate. For this purpose, there are techniques such as blepharoplasty, a surgery that corrects excess skin and .bags under the eyes with natural and safe results, as long as it is performed by expert oculoplastic surgeons. The specialists at the Miranza clinics carry it out without leaving any visible scars and ensuring both aesthetics and eye health. Moreover, they offer in-office oculofacial rejuvenation treatments, such as CO2 laser resurfacing, which renews the skin to improve its tone and imperfections. “It is one of the latest technologies we have incorporated, along with intense pulsed light (IPL), which combines its aesthetic effect with its use to treat dry eye, an eye problem for which we also have our dedicated area,” explains Dr Alejandra Amesty at Vissum Grupo Miranza and Miranza Clínica Palomares.
Cutting-edge diagnostic and surgical technology Retinal diseases, glaucoma, strabismus, childhood vision pathologies or eye trauma are also addressed in a specialised manner by Miranza’s ophthalmologists.
To be able to accurately study each case and thus indicate the ideal treatment, the specialists rely on the information provided by sophisticated tests, with the most advanced diagnostic imaging instruments, which allow any ocular alteration or injury to be detected at an early stage. Likewise, the most innovative surgical equipment allows us to carry out state-of-the-art microsurgery techniques, which promote a faster recovery and a more comfortable postoperative period, without the need for admission.
Focus on quality and patient care Both in consultations and in the operating theatre, Vissum Grupo Miranza and Miranza Clínica Palomares are governed by quality certifications and strict protocols that they share with the other Miranza offices in Spain. Networking between the 19 clinics and the 11 outpatient centres that make up the Group promotes best practices and provides patients with cutting-edge ophthalmological solutions for their ocular well-being.
All this is endorsed by the proximity of a team that focuses on patients, who have an International Department at their service to advise them with regard to all the information, documentation and appropriate procedures, should they come from other countries, in addition to accompanying them during their stay at the centres.
