In the SJD Barcelona Children's Hospital's Ophthalmology Department we diagnose and treat children with vision problems, whatever the complexity.
We provide care with the highest level of sub-specialisation for all conditions which can affect the different parts of the eye: retina, pupil, eyelid, eyeball, lachrymal gland, optic nerve, musculature, etc.
Eight CSUR accreditations from the Spanish Ministry of Health
We possess eight CSUR accreditations from the Spanish Ministry of Health, making us a benchmark centre on a national level in the treatment of congenital glaucoma and infantile glaucoma, penetrating keratoplasty in children, extraocular and intraocular tumours in children, orbital tumours, congenital alterations of ocular development (alterations of the eyeball and eyelids), pediatric vitreoretinal surgery, complex cataract in children and hereditary retinal dystrophies.
Non-invasive technology adapted to pediatric patients
At SJD Barcelona Children's Hospital, we have unique human and technical resources to examine and treat children's eyes in the least invasive and most appropriate way possible, even if a child has trouble sitting still, and in most cases without the need for anaesthesia.
