Joint initiative to operate free of charge to people with eye problems and no financial resources.

This Christmas season is a joint initiative of Novovisión already consolidated and socio attracting much interest

· Is the fourth year being held this year

· Both preoperative testing and subsequent follow-up is also free

· Is guaranteed confidentiality of data on applicants

· There will be a total of 20 interventions in Madrid and 10 in Murcia

As in recent years by this time, Novovisión performed a solidarity campaign to finally solve vision problems for patients who, for economic reasons, are unable to access the services of a first class eye clinic.


For this, the team conducted twenty Novovisión interventions for free and disinterested residents of the Community of Madrid (in addition to a dozen people interventions in the Murcia region) showing the inability to pay. This included appropriate preoperative testing and subsequent revisions. Specifically, we offer refractive surgery solutions (for cases of nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism) in the area of Ophthalmology.




Convinced that better health is better quality of life in Novovisión we extend this possibility to those who can not access it, said Ramon Gutierrez, Director. As he says, we know that to reach stakeholders, we need the media, hence we seek your cooperation, as well those in need can access the benefits of this campaign.


Requirements and Selection Process

Among the requirements that are demanded to solicit support for refractive surgery, candidates must:


- Present at the Clinic (Paseo de la Castellana 54 Madrid C / Jaime I, 2 in Murcia) documentation to support the financial hardship to meet the costs of these services (income statement of the family unit)

- Photocopy of DNI

- Have more than 25 years.

- Living in the Community of Madrid or the Community of Murcia.

- Need some intervention that is not covered by Social Security benefits.


A committee composed of medical and administrative management of Novovisión evaluate the information submitted by applicants, with priority given to the degree of need for the services offered by this clinic and financial constraints of stakeholders.


Applicants must submit documentation of their situation between December 29 and January 10 at the Paseo de la Castellana 54 and at 10.00 hours Monday to Friday 16.00h. It is envisaged that the preoperative tests were conducted in mid-January, taking out the involvement of all selected by the end of that month or early February, in that day, Novovisión open its doors to the press from the 11 in the morning and throughout the day.


In any case interventions will be exchanged for its monetary value or any other type of consideration. It guarantees the confidentiality of all information provided by applicants.
