danjames56 Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 I had surgery with Dr Claudia Camacho. Amazing Doctor. Amazing Treatment. The best ophthalmologist i have visited. her tel: 765 7777 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVGRINGO Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 The OP has requested a retinologist, who is a very specialized ophthalmologist. Most ophthalmologists do not do retina repairs. Some of the posters above are talking about simple cataract surgeries/lens replacement, which is a piece of cake, compared to retinal repairs, vitrectomy, etc., Big difference! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
una Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 I saw Dr. Arturo Santos in Guadalajara last summer. He's a retina specialist, highly qualified, with advanced fellowship at Johns Hopkins eye center. I have macular degeneration and receive avastin injections to my left eye here in the US on a regular basis to slow the degeneration process. I only saw Dr. Santos on one visit but was very impressed with the advanced equipment, highly-trained staff, and his own evaluation. While my retina speciallist here in the US is considered to be on the "cutting edge" of working with AMD, Dr. Santos' equipment and techniques appear to be light-years ahead. I plan to consult with him again on my next trip to Mexico. His number and address are below: 33 3848 5468 Centro Medico Puerta de Hierro Edificio A, Piso 2, #202 There is a number for him elsewhere on this board, but it's wrong--two numbers reversed. Centro Medico is between the Andares shopping center and Sam's Club in Zapopan. Easy to get to the area but we ended up circling the actual building several times before we found th eright one. I think I can provide more specific directions if you PM me. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great caring service! I am going to Claudia but getting trifocal lens impants also. I had lasik about 12 years ago. What was your vision after lasik and did this surgery make your vision even better yet. My poor eye is 20/90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cedros Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 I had a trifocal lens put in by Dr. Rios and the second one put in by Claudia Camacho. I would recommend the latter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanson Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 I agree with cedros. I have asked two Medical physicians, not eye doctors and they both recommended Dr. Claudia Camacho 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johanson Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 Yes be careful. One does not dare badmouth someone in Mexico. I just know that there is one Ophthalmologist Lakeside who has a poor reputation. Dr. Claudia has a good reputation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you recommend the operation? What did it cost? The vision in one eye needs to be improved so that I can spot those South Dakota license plates. There are still a few around. Now people are going for the state of Mexico plates. The operation will probably be done in Chapala by Dr. Ricardo Chapa as an out patient. I have never heard of this before.

RVGRINGO Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 Hesitating and/or avoiding the best eye clinic and retinologist in Guadalajara may cost you your sight. Get off your a$$ and get it done now. Your eye is probably deteriorating and will suddenly go dark when the retina detatches and falls to the bottom of your eye. You will not see anything at all. Blackness!!!!! It will be sudden. the only warning is what you have already received. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't be fixed after its too late. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
