Who we are
We are highly specialized in clinical and surgical ophthalmology, orthoptics and vision rehabilitation. We exploit the experience developed in Italy, Germany and the United States during decades of activity and we put into practice the most advanced know-how by using latest generation technologies, in order to guarantee what is recognized as the ""golden standard"" by the international scientific community. Efficiency, diagnostic precision, therapeutic success and dedication are the hallmarks for which our patients choose us.
What we do
Our main goal is to push further forward the limits of what is possible in the ophthalmological practice. Active participation in research and pivotal clinical trials allows us to witness the creation, development and validation of new therapeutic strategies, drugs or medical devices aimed at preserving vision or even restoring it. This allows us to always find ourselves in pole position when it comes to translating research innovations into clinical practice, offering our patients the most advanced and effective ophthalmological practices existing today.
