Clinica de Ojos

What Clinica de Ojos does

Clinica de Ojos (legal name: Clinica de Ojos; DBA: Clinica de Ojos – Salud Visual) is a private ophthalmology clinic headquartered at Av. España 780, Mendoza, Argentina, founded in 1964 and operating continuously for 60 years. It provides diagnostic and surgical eye care across the full ophthalmology spectrum: cataract surgery (phacoemulsification with monofocal, multifocal, and accommodating intraocular lenses), retinal and vitreous disease treatment, LASIK and refractive surgery, glaucoma management, pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus, and general ophthalmology consultations. The clinic operates from a single physical location with extended weekday and Saturday hours, and supports patient access through online appointment booking, WhatsApp scheduling, and a walk-in model.

The clinic is staffed by a team of 10 specialized ophthalmologists and a dedicated anesthesiologist, forming a multi-subspecialty group that covers cataracts, retina/vitreous, corneal refractive surgery, glaucoma, pediatric ophthalmology, strabismus, eyelids and lacrimal pathways, and general ophthalmology. Diagnostic capability is anchored by advanced imaging and surgical equipment including OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography), IOL Master, Pentacam corneal tomography, Plácido topography, digital retinography, visual field testing, echography, pachymetry, and Argon and YAG laser systems. Surgical offerings include micro-incision phacoemulsification cataract surgery (~10 minutes, outpatient, local anesthesia), YAG laser capsulotomy for posterior capsule opacification, and LASIK refractive surgery.

The business model is a fee-for-service specialty clinic with revenue derived from a mix of insured patients (17 obra social / health insurance providers including PAMI, SanCor Salud, Omint, DAMSU, OSSEG, OSECAC, OSDIPP, Bombal Vision, Nobis, OSADEF, Andes Salud, Jerárquicos, and Prevención Salud) and likely private-pay patients. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and requires direct consultation. Distribution is direct to consumers through the single clinic site, with insurance network participation providing inflow. Long-term patient retention and multi-generational loyalty are cited as a core commercial asset, and the clinic's stated vision is to become a regional reference in ophthalmology.

Expansion highlights3 records

Regional players

• LASIK Plus: US-based refractive surgery chain specializing in LASIK and PRK. Regional player peer given comparable refractive-only focus and clinic delivery model, though operating in a different geography and payer environment than Clinica de Ojos.

Direct peers

• CODET Vision Institute: Private ophthalmology specialty hospital in Tijuana, Mexico, treating domestic and international patients for cataract, refractive, and retinal conditions. Direct peer given its multi-subspecialty ophthalmology model and cataract/refractive surgery focus.
• Instituto de la Visión: Argentine ophthalmology clinic network offering cataract, refractive, and retinal surgery across multiple sites. Direct peer because it competes with Clinica de Ojos for obra social and private-pay ophthalmology patients in Argentina, with a comparable multi-subspecialty model.
• IMO Instituto de Microcirugía Ocular: Specialist ophthalmology clinic in Barcelona offering cataract, refractive, retina, and glaucoma care with a large subspecialized physician team. Direct peer due to shared focus on high-volume microsurgery and full subspecialty coverage for an insured/insured-plus-private population.
• Sanatorio Oftalmos: Argentine ophthalmology clinic focused on surgical eye care, including cataract and refractive procedures. Direct peer with comparable subspecialty surgical model and reliance on obra social payer networks.
• Centro de Oftalmología de Buenos Aires: Buenos Aires-based ophthalmology center providing cataract, refractive, and retinal surgery. Direct peer because it competes for Argentine ophthalmology patients using similar subspecialty coverage and insured/private payer mix.

Others

• Carl Zeiss Meditec (clinical equipment and IOL partner ecosystem): Manufacturer of OCT, IOL Master, and surgical microscopy systems used in ophthalmology clinics. Included as an adjacent ecosystem participant, since Clinica de Ojos relies on this class of equipment for its diagnostic and surgical capabilities.

Broad incumbents

• Clínica Barraquer: Long-established ophthalmology institution in Barcelona with global reach and a comprehensive subspecialty team. Broad incumbent given its scale and brand versus Clinica de Ojos, but highly comparable clinical offering across cataract, retina, refractive, and pediatric ophthalmology.
• Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires - Servicio de Oftalmología: Large Argentine academic hospital with a dedicated ophthalmology department covering all subspecialties. Broad incumbent peer because it competes for obra social and prepaid patients in Argentina with a more diversified provider footprint.

Emerging players

• Lenscrafters / LensCrafters affiliated clinics: Optical retail chain increasingly offering in-store optometry and basic ophthalmology services. Emerging player peer where its optical and primary eye care services overlap with Clinica de Ojos's diagnostic and primary care offerings.
