ISSSTE cataract surgery campaigns in Mexico

Overview

The Instituto de Seguridad y Servicios Sociales de los Trabajadores del Estado (ISSSTE) has conducted surgical campaigns to provide cataract surgeries across different Mexican states.

In Nayarit, the ISSSTE General Hospital in Tepic performed 150 surgeries using minimally invasive techniques to replace affected lenses with intraocular lenses (IOL). This effort benefited residents from several municipalities in Nayarit and Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco.

Following this, a campaign held in Cuautla, Morelos, at the Dr. Rafael Barba Ocampo Clinic resulted in 206 surgeries. These procedures, which took place between August 14 and 16, primarily served elderly patients aged 60 to 80 from Morelos and Guerrero. The medical team utilized phacoemulsification, an advanced ultrasound technique, to restore visual health.
