Cataract surgery (one eye) in Nomadoc
About the clinic
Cataract surgery at Nomadoc in Mexico provides a way to restore clear vision through advanced microsurgery. The procedure is available in major cities like Mexico City, Guadalajara, and Puerto Vallarta. Patients benefit from a vetted network of 60+ English-speaking doctors who hold accreditation from ISAPS.
Advanced Surgical Methods
The medical team primarily uses phacoemulsification for cataract removal. This method uses ultrasonic waves to break up the cloudy lens before removing it. It is a gentle technique that allows for faster healing. The procedure typically takes place under local anesthesia and does not require an overnight hospital stay. Patients undergo a thorough eye exam and biometry before the surgery to choose the best lens option. Available intraocular lenses include:
- Monofocal lenses for clear vision at a single distance
- EDOF lenses which provide an extended depth of focus
- Multifocal lenses to help reduce the need for glasses at various distances
Expert Ophthalmology Team
Nomadoc connects patients with highly trained specialists who graduated from top institutions like UNAM. Dr. Orlando Daniel Quintanar Haro specializes in anterior segment microsurgery and holds a Master’s degree from Charité University of Berlin. Dr. Samuel Peña Ortiz provides expertise in both cataract and retinal surgeries. For patients with complex needs, Dr. José Antonio Pérez Jiménez offers specialized care as a member of the European Glaucoma Society. The team also includes Dra. Anahi Peimbert, who has performed 100+ vision correction surgeries.
Care for International Patients
The clinic network focuses on convenience for travelers. Patients can choose between in-clinic visits, virtual consultations, or house calls for their initial assessments. The ISAPS-accredited platform uses a verification tool to confirm the credentials of every doctor. After the procedure, the medical team provides follow-up visits and specific eye drop protocols to help with recovery. Most patients can return to their normal routines shortly after the surgery with minor activity restrictions.
