Free reviews in Community Hospital (Mexico)

Yesterday a day of detection and treatment of diabetes retinopathy was held to people who have presented problems of visibility loss.

It was held at the Community Hospital and was headed by Ermilo Sánchez Buenafil, director of the Retina and Specialized Ophthalmology Center.

The specialists participated in an altruistic way in order to improve the visibility of people with diabetes.

The professional informs that when this disease begins, blindness can be prevented and that is why patients should take view exams every year.

—From the moment the disease is diagnosed, the studies must be done.When detected in time, a laser treatment can be given.

"If the disease progresses you can no longer be treated in this way and that is when surgery has to be done with a greater cost," he explains.

—The laser treatment costs from $ 5,000 to $ 6,000, and surgery is worth $ 35,000 per eye.

Alberto José Cervera Azcorra, deputy director of the Hospital Network of Health Services and State Coordinator of Extramurous Surgeries, says yesterday they attended about 300 people.

"They were all the view of the view."Those who have glaucoma and cataracts were put on the waiting list to deal with these ills when there is opportunity.

- Some people received laser treatment, and those who need surgery must go from Wednesday to Friday at the Retimediq clinic.They are expensive treatments but no weight is charged.

The altruistic doctors are: Ermilo Sánchez Buenfil, Ermilo Sánchez Vega, Miguel Ángel Inciarte, Jonh Wroblewski and David Ludwick.— Miguel Moo Góngora
