In this department there are specialists who take care of the well-being of your child.
Glaucoma
This department is responsible for treating Glaucoma, which is when pressure is present inside the eye and rises above normal values. Although there are many causes, the most common is that it occurs due to an obstruction of drainage of aqueous humour: the liquid that is inside the eye and gives it its tonicity.
