RVGRINGO 2,099 Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Retina Médica y Quirúrgica www.retina.com.mx/Retina Médica y Quirúrgica. Dr. Enrique A. Roig Melo-Granados enriqueroig@retina.com.mx. Guadalajara. Clínica Santa Lucía, Manuel Acuña ... Dr. Roig has saved my vision after multiple retina collapses. He speaks perfect English and the Santa Lucia Clinic near Plaza Terranova is a specialty clinic for these types of problems. Do not hesitate if you suspect retinal problems. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

danjames56 2 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 post Share on other sites
RVGRINGO 2,099 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! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
una 1 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 post Share on other sites

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 post Share on other sites
cedros 984 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 post Share on other sites
johanson 1,004 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 post Share on other sites

She sent me to a Doctor Silva in Guad. He treated the retina and it is much better now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johanson 1,004 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 post Share on other sites

Dr. Claudia and Retina Médica y Quirúrgica. Dr. Enrique A. Roig Melo-Granados enriqueroig@retina.com.mx. Guadalajara. Clínica Santa Lucía, Manuel Acuña are good choices. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
