Ophthalmology services

Dr. Juan F. Batlle Logroño provides subspecialty care in cornea, refractive surgery, and cataract surgery across his three Santo Domingo locations.

01 · Refractive surgery

Laser refractive surgery

Correction of myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia with excimer laser. Dr. Batlle selects the technique according to each patient's cornea, age, and lifestyle.

  • ReLEx SMILE, small incision lenticule extraction. National pioneer in the Dominican Republic
  • Femto-LASIK with femtosecond laser
  • Topography-guided LASIK (Contoura)
  • PRK / ASA (advanced surface ablation)
  • CustomQ with Q-shifting for presbyopia
  • Surgical enhancements after previous LASIK, SMILE, or PRK
02 · Phakic lenses

Phakic intraocular lenses (ICL)

Implantation of a lens inside the eye to correct high refractive errors where laser is not the best option. Indicated for high myopia, pronounced astigmatism, thin corneas, or mild keratoconus.

  • ICL Visian and EVO implantation (STAAR)
  • AI-assisted lens calculation
  • ICL for mild to moderate keratoconus
  • Management of post-ICL complications (vault, residual myopia)
03 · Cataracts

Cataract surgery

Replacement of the cloudy crystalline lens with an intraocular lens. Dr. Batlle works with all premium lens platforms and plans the refractive correction as an integral part of the procedure.

  • Standard phacoemulsification
  • Femtosecond laser-assisted phacoemulsification (FLACS)
  • Optimized monofocal lenses (Eyhance type)
  • Toric lenses for astigmatism
  • EDOF lenses (extended depth of focus)
  • Multifocal and trifocal lenses
  • IOL calculation in patients with prior LASIK, PRK, or SMILE
  • Piggyback IOL for residual corrections
04 · Cornea

Keratoconus and corneal ectasia

Stepwise management of keratoconus based on severity and progression. The goal is first to stabilize the cornea, then to restore vision.

  • Corneal crosslinking (Dresden protocol, accelerated, transepithelial)
  • CAIRS (allogeneic intrastromal corneal segments). First center in the Dominican Republic since 2020
  • Synthetic intracorneal rings (ICRS)
  • ICL for refractive correction in keratoconus
  • Corneal transplant (lamellar or penetrating) when indicated
05 · Transplantation

Corneal transplantation

As Co-Director of the Dominican Republic Cornea Bank, Dr. Batlle has direct access to donor tissue for all modern transplantation modalities.

  • Penetrating keratoplasty (PKP)
  • Deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK)
  • Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK)
  • Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK)
  • Boston type 1 keratoprosthesis
  • Tectonic patch graft with donor tissue
06 · Ocular surface

Ocular surface and dry eye

Dedicated care for ocular surface diseases, in a space designed as a dry eye spa for comprehensive and comfortable management.

  • Dry eye spa with advanced equipment
  • Medical management of evaporative and aqueous-deficient dry eye
  • Treatment of blepharitis and Meibomian gland dysfunction
  • SLET (simple limbal epithelial transplantation)
  • Management of infectious corneal ulcers
07 · Presbyopia

Presbyopia treatment

Surgical solutions for presbyopia adapted to each patient's cornea and age, including cases with prior refractive surgery.

  • CustomQ with Q-shifting (personalized aspheric profile)
  • Modified monovision with laser
  • ReLEx SMILE in presbyopic age
  • EDOF, multifocal, and trifocal intraocular lenses
