Founded in 1992, the Camilo Cienfuegos International Retinitis Pigmentosa Center is a young, yet top medical institution in the country that has reaped major results in the realm of scientific research. Focused on the specialized medical attention for the prognosis and treatment of retinitis pigmentosa -exclusively based on the Cuban therapeutic experience in this field- the center deals with other eye diseases such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, cataracts, glaucoma, squinted eyes, cornea ailments and other disorders. This center stands tall as a national reference entity and methodological director of the National Retinitis Pigmentosa Program in Cuba. It also provides highly-trained professionals who were gathered and mostly educated by Dr. Orfilio Pelaez Molina, the center's founder.

In the same breath, the center boasts superb infrastructure, amazing equipment and great know-how.

On a timely basis, Cuba's therapy for retinitis pigmentosa is combined with the application of surgical elements, ozone therapy, electrical stimulation, medications and other suggestions.

As years have rolled on, the institution has reached out to other ophthalmologic branches, bringing in new treatments and therapies for many other non-related disorders and diseases.

Conveniently located in a key spot of the capital city, the center has 70 air-conditioned guestrooms, broken down in double, triple and suites, all of them equipped with cable TV, phone, minibar, private bathroom, plus an array of basic and complementary services.
