Skin inside the eye
Every time we blink, our eyelids spread a layer of mucus, oil and tears across the cornea, which covers the front of the eye. Lacrimal glands, located in the upper outer corner of each eye socket, make tears that, after moistening the eyes, flow into ducts in the eyelids. These ducts drain into the lacrimal sac, a small sac located in the lower inner corner of each eye socket. The tears then exit the eye through a duct that leads to the nose.
The space in the center of the eyeball is filled with a clear, jelly-like material called vitreous humor: This material allows light to reach the retina. It also helps maintain the eye’s rounded shape.
Vision is the process by which the brain interprets images captured by the eye, and the visible part of the eye is where this process begins. On the front surface of the eye is the cornea, which is transparent and circular in shape. You cannot see a person’s cornea the way you see the colored part of the eye behind it; the cornea is a transparent window that focuses light on the eye.
What is the skin of the eye called?
The sclera is the protective layer. This tough, fibrous tissue surrounds the eyeball and is attached to the cornea, which is the transparent surface of the front of the eye. What we see as the white of the eye is the sclera.
What is the eye and the skin?
Sclera. It is a resistant and opaque layer that acts as an armor of the eye. It is made up of disorganized collagen fibers. Since it is not transparent, it forms a sort of “dark chamber” for the retina.
What structure form the eye and the skin?
The conjunctiva is the mucous membrane that lines the eyelid and the surface of the eye. In a healthy eye, the conjunctiva is clear and colorless. The sclera is the hard outer layer of the eyeball (the white part of the eye).

Hyaluronic acid is a substance formed by skin cells and is part of the skin’s connective tissue. One of its key functions is to retain moisture as one gram of hyaluronic acid is capable of binding up to 1 liter of water. As we age, the skin’s natural ability to produce hyaluronic acid is depleted and wrinkles begin to form and become more pronounced. The Hyaluron-Filler range contains two different types of hyaluronic acid to effectively fight and fill wrinkles “from the inside out”.
The new generation Hyaluron-Filler 3x Effect formula also contains Enoxolone, an active ingredient that slows down the rate of degradation of the skin’s own Hyaluronic Acid by inhibiting Hyaluronidase.
1 The standard unit for measuring the mass of an atom is the Dalton (Da) . Long-chain hyaluronic acid has a mass of 2000 kDa and short-chain hyaluronic acid has a mass of 52 kDa. Both are contained in the Hyaluron-Filler and Hyaluron-Filler + Elasticity formulas.

Color doesn’t usually come to mind when you think of light, but when you see a rainbow, you are looking at the visual spectrum of light. These are the colors visible to the human eye and include red, blue and green “wavelengths.” All light we see is a combination of these wavelengths, including sunlight, energy-efficient lighting (such as LED lamps), computer screens and blue light from mobile devices …Read More
Some of our treatments are considered by medical plans as elective procedures and are not covered by insurers. For these cases we have several financing options.
Very happy with the service. My husband Reinaldo had cataract surgery. And because I was taking care of him I missed my appointment. Today I asked Mrs. Rosario to give me a new appointment with my husband and she was very kind. Now I have my appointment for my check up.

Not all dry eyes are the same, there are different types of dry eye that it is important to determine correctly through a thorough ophthalmological examination and specific diagnostic tests, since an expert examination will provide individualized guidance and, with it, a tailor-made and effective treatment.
People with dry eye often tend to have watery eyes. This is because in dry eyes, the eye responds by increasing tear volume. Dry eye sufferers may feel that they cannot keep their eyes open for very long. They may also feel that their eyes are not comfortable after reading or watching television.
For a complete dry eye diagnosis and treatment, it is also important to perform the above tests and supplement them with additional tests to quantify each individual tear component.
In other extreme cases, surgery is recommended, which consists of permanently closing the tear ducts that drain tears into the nose, thus allowing a good amount of tears to always be present in the eyes. This occlusion is usually performed by means of punctal plugs, which can be temporary, since they dissolve after a short time, or permanent, made of silicone.
