Sant Joan de Déu – Barcelona Children’s Hospital

SJD Barcelona Children's Hospital is part of the Hospitaller Order's St. John of God Province of Spain, a non-profit Catholic Church institution dedicated to healthcare, socio-health, social, teaching, and research through a variety of facilities such as hospitals, mental health centers, centers for people with disabilities, the elderly, and people in situations of vulnerability and social exclusion.

The Hospitaller Order upholds a model of comprehensive care focused on the person assisted and their social and family environment, adapted to today's challenges, with the goals of promoting and improving people's health and quality of life without regard for gender, beliefs, or origin, and creating a fairer and more caring society.

They diagnose and treat children with visual issues of any complexity in the SJD Barcelona Children's Hospital's Ophthalmology Department.

They provide the greatest degree of sub-specialization for all problems affecting the various elements of the eye, including the retina, pupil, eyelid, eyeball, lachrymal gland, optic nerve, muscle, and so on.

They have eight CSUR accreditations from the Spanish Ministry of Health, making them a national benchmark center in the treatment of congenital glaucoma and infantile glaucoma, penetrating keratoplasty in children, extraocular and intraocular tumors in children, orbital tumors, congenital ocular development (alterations of the eyeball and eyelids), pediatric vitreoretinal surgery, complex cataract in children, and hereditary retinal dystrophies.

They have unique human and technical resources at SJD Barcelona Children's Hospital to evaluate and treat children's eyes in the least intrusive and most suitable way possible, even if a kid has difficulty sitting still, and in most circumstances without the need for anesthetic.

SJD Barcelona Children's Hospital sees more children with vision issues than any other facility in Spain. Their professionals have a proven track record and a wealth of knowledge detecting not just the most complicated eye disorders, but also the most common ones.
