Retinitis Pigmentosa

Traditional surgery is performed at the Hospital “Pando Ferrer” and “Camilo Cienfuegos”. Accommodation can be in this Hospital, in La Pradera or another place to be agreed. Retinitis Pigmentosa is treated at the “Camilo Cienfuegos” Hospital, specialized in this disease with an indigenous procedure that includes surgery, ozone treatment, Electrical Stimulation and Magnetic Field.

This unique treatment offered accounts for many of the medical tourism patients that visit Cuba each year. It is  aimed at people who have not lost their vision. It is distinguished from others by the surgical technique it employs and by the fact that it is combined, comprehensive and personalized. It is based on the accumulated experience and research carried out for decades by a group of specialists internationally recognized for developing this therapy, with very good results: it delays the progression of the disease and allows a better visual quality for a longer time than in patients not treated with this method, which is of great satisfaction for people and their families and brings a significant improvement in their quality of life.

The care program consists of 21 nights in a specialized ophthalmology hospital in Havana.

It has been totally proved that the procedure stops the progression of the disease and 15% of the patients improve their vision, mainly their visual field. No treated patient has worsened or become blind. The person blinded by this disease DOES NOT RECOVER, so this type of patient is not accepted. The woman, while she is breastfeeding, CANNOT RECEIVE THE TREATMENT. As it is a hereditary disease, it is recommended that the patient’s family be screened.
