Clinic

The School of Optometry of the Inter American University of Puerto Rico is a private institution accredited by the Higher Education Council of Puerto Rico and the Accreditation Council on Optometric Education of the United States. The school counts with a series of clinics known by the name Inter American Institute of the Eye of Puerto Rico (better known as IIO for "Instituto Interamericano del Ojo"). We dedicate our efforts to prevent, diagnose and treat visual conditions that can inflict severe visual loss. A visual examination is recommended to all children beginning their first school year, to people with vision changes, double vision, headaches, itch or discomfort and to all person with systemic conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure and/or high cholesterol.

IIO operates a central clinic in Bayamón and satellite clinics in Caguas, Hato Rey, Juana Díaz, Río Piedras and Santurce. They offer visual field examination services to geriatric centers, schools and nearby communities.

In the established clinics examination and complete visual care services are provided to children and adults of all ages by previous appointment, except in emergency situations.
