CEM CLINIC

In 2004, ICOftalmologia opened its Clínica Especializada de Microcirugía Ocular (Ocular Microsurgery Specialist Clinic - CEM CLINIC), hoping to establish a surgical facility of the highest possible level, capable of offering eye surgeons the best technical conditions, and aiming to keep up-to-date in all the latest microsurgery and ophthalmic diagnostic advances.

In ten years we have achieved a very satisfactory balance. More than sixty eye surgeons now perform operations at CEM. A third of these belong to ICOftalmologia and two-thirds are ophthalmologists from the surrounding area. With their help, we have established a supportive community that is happy to work together to share the facilities or to refer patients for state-of-the-art diagnostic testing or care at ICO's permanent A&E department.

CEM Clinic has recently been extended and now has around 500 m2 of floor space on Calle Balmes in Barcelona, just a 5 minute walk from ICO1 and ICO2. It has good public transport links and is close to numerous car parks.

CEM Clinic has four areas:

1. Major Outpatient Surgery Area
   With two operating theatres and a pre- and post- topical, loco-regional and general anaesthesia area. Equipment for all types of eye surgery in adults and children. With the latest microscopy, video-recording and surgical instrumentation technology.
    
2. LASIK Area
