What makes us different?
We are the only government-based eye center on the island — and that means our commitment goes beyond commerce.
As a public hospital service, we exist not for profit, but for people. We make quality eye care accessible to everyone, especially the underserved. Backed by dedicated specialists and guided by the values of compassion and integrity, we ensure that no one is left behind simply because of cost or distance.
Our mission is clear: to bring sight-saving care where it’s needed most — because every eye deserves attention, and every patient matters.
