Our father has regained his sight and, with it, his quality of life. We are very grateful for Dr. Mora's work.
This doctor is a success to me. He operated on my 92-year-old mother and she sees 100%.
Excellent personalized care and modern specialized equipment. I am very grateful that they followed my progress and recovery after the surgery.
Personalized, timely care. Very diligent and thorough, with cutting-edge technology. A humble and dedicated doctor.
The care was excellent. He clearly explained the treatment and surgery for my mother's eyes.
Dr. Mora was very nice and knowledgeable about my procedure. He explained carefully what was wrong and was able to remedy the problem. It was very helpful that Dr. Mora spoke English.
I studied medicine at the University of Panama, completed my ophthalmology residency in Granada, Spain, and my oculoplastics fellowship in Mexico City.
For four years I was an ophthalmologist on Orbis International's Flying Eye Hospital, an eye hospital on board a plane that brings surgery and training to countries around the world.
Today I see patients in David, Santiago de Veraguas and Boquete, close to my patients in western Panama.

A cataract is a clouding of the eye's natural lens. It is corrected with outpatient surgery that replaces it with an intraocular lens.
Dry eye is one of the most common causes of eye discomfort. We measure it objectively to treat the cause, not just the symptoms.
In cataract surgery, the natural lens is replaced with an intraocular lens. All of them give clear vision; the difference is how much you will need glasses afterwards. We help you choose based on your tests and your lifestyle.
Sharp distance vision
The most widely used lens, with excellent quality of vision and very few halos at night. Reading glasses are usually needed for near vision.
For people with astigmatism
Corrects astigmatism during the same surgery, for sharper distance vision without relying on glasses.
Distance, intermediate and near
Lets you see far, at middle distance and to read, with the least possible need for glasses. It can cause halos around lights at night.
Distance and intermediate
Gives continuous vision from far away to computer or phone distance, with fewer halos than a multifocal. Reading glasses may be needed for very small print.
Toric lenses also come in multifocal and extended depth of focus versions.

A check of the whole eye, inside and out.
Includes visual acuity, slit-lamp exam, eye pressure, and a retina exam when needed. Recommended once a year, or sooner if you notice changes in your vision.
Detecting and controlling eye pressure.
Glaucoma has no symptoms at first. We measure eye pressure, evaluate the optic nerve, and follow up with tests when needed.
Retina checkups for people with diabetes.
Diabetes can damage the retina without causing symptoms. We recommend a retina exam at least once a year.
Redness, burning and discharge.
We find the cause of the red eye to treat it, not just soothe the symptoms.
Quick procedures, with no incisions or hospital stay, done in the office.
"Cleaning" the artificial lens after cataract surgery.
Months or years after cataract surgery, the capsule that holds the intraocular lens can become cloudy and vision blurs again. The YAG laser opens a window in that capsule and vision clears within minutes. It is painless and does not require an operating room.
Preventing angle-closure glaucoma.
In eyes with a narrow angle, the laser makes a very small opening in the iris so the eye's fluid can circulate and pressure does not rise suddenly. It prevents an acute glaucoma attack.
Pressure control in open-angle glaucoma.
The laser acts on the eye's drainage system so fluid drains better and pressure goes down. It can reduce, or in some cases replace, glaucoma drops.
Oculoplastic surgery treats problems of the structures that surround and protect the eye, caring for both function and appearance.
Excess eyelid skin.
Removes excess skin and bags from the eyelids. It can improve your field of vision when the skin blocks it, as well as your appearance.
Droopy eyelid.
Corrects an eyelid that droops over the eye because the muscle that lifts it is weak.
Eyelid turning inward or outward.
When the eyelid turns inward, the lashes rub the eye; when it turns outward, the eye waters and gets irritated. Both are corrected with surgery.
Moles, cysts and tumors.
Evaluation and removal of eyelid lesions, with pathology testing when needed.
A small bump on the eyelid from a blocked gland.
It forms when an eyelid gland gets blocked. If it does not improve with warm compresses and medical treatment, it is drained with a short in-office procedure.
Eyelashes growing toward the eye.
Misdirected lashes rub the cornea and cause irritation and tearing. They are treated by cauterizing the lash root so it does not grow back, and with eyelid surgery when the cause is the position of the lid margin.
Constant tearing from a blockage.
Diagnosis and treatment of tear duct blockage, including surgery to open a new drainage path.
Tearing from narrow or blocked puncta.
The puncta are the small openings on the edge of the eyelid where tears drain. When they narrow or close, the eye waters. They are opened with a simple procedure and, when needed, perforated plugs are placed to keep them open.
Treatment of growths and lesions on the clear layer that covers the white of the eye.
Fleshy growth spreading onto the cornea.
Tissue that grows from the white of the eye onto the cornea, linked to sun and wind. When it irritates, grows or affects vision, it is removed surgically, using techniques that lower the chance of it coming back.
Spots and growths on the white of the eye.
Evaluation and removal of conjunctival lesions and neoplasms, with pathology testing to confirm the diagnosis and plan treatment.

Hospital Chiriquí, Torre Nueva, 5th floor, office #41, David, Chiriquí.
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
Your current glasses, a list of the medications you take, and any previous eye test results you have.
Sometimes it is needed to examine the retina. If so, your vision will be blurry and sensitive to light for a few hours: come with someone, do not drive, and bring sunglasses.
Once a year from age 40, even if you see well. If you have diabetes, glaucoma or a family history, also once a year or as often as your doctor advises. Come in sooner if you notice changes in your vision.
When cloudy vision starts to affect your daily life: driving, reading, watching TV or working. There is no need to wait for the cataract to "ripen".
It does not hurt: numbing drops are used and it usually takes less than half an hour. It is outpatient surgery, so you go home the same day. Vision improves within a few days and you will use eye drops for a few weeks.
It depends on your tests, whether you have astigmatism, and how you use your eyes day to day. At your visit we review the options together: a monofocal lens or premium lenses (toric, multifocal or extended depth of focus).
Eye tests: mainly biometry to calculate the lens and, depending on your case, endothelial cell count, macular OCT, dry eye analysis or Pentacam.
General tests: blood tests and an electrocardiogram. If you have diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease or other conditions, also an internal medicine evaluation before surgery, so you can have it safely.
We will tell you which ones you need at your visit.
In David: at Oftalmo Diagnóstico, Hospital Chiriquí, Torre Nueva, 5th floor, office #18. WhatsApp 6323-4166. More information at oftalmodiagnostico.com
In Santiago: OCT, visual field testing and A-scan ultrasound are done at the office.
At your visit we will tell you which tests you need and where it is best to have them done.
It can happen months or years later. The capsule that holds the lens becomes cloudy, and it is corrected with a YAG laser capsulotomy, which "cleans" the artificial lens. It is quick, painless and done in the office.
The most common symptoms are burning, a gritty feeling, tired eyes, vision that comes and goes and, oddly enough, watery eyes. With the Keratograph we measure your tears and eyelid glands to confirm it and treat the cause.
We accept cash, Visa and Mastercard, Clave and Yappy.
