In 1976, Dr. Enrique Rodríguez Lara arrived in Baja California, driven by a quest for professional and personal growth, and a commitment to revolutionizing ophthalmological care in our community. Armed with expertise gleaned from prestigious institutes across Mexico, Latin America, and Europe, and bolstered by cutting-edge technology, Dr. Rodríguez Lara embarked on a mission to deliver personalized, advanced eye care to each patient.

This ethos laid the foundation for the inception of Clinica de Ojos de Tijuana, a beacon of excellence in ophthalmology. Today, the torchbearer of this legacy is Dr. Rodríguez Pérez, who assumed the mantle of medical director at the Tijuana Eye Center in 2010. Drawing from experiences at esteemed institutions like the Barraquer Institute in Bogotá, the Cole Eye Institute at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, and the Institute of Ocular Microsurgery in Barcelona, Dr. Rodríguez Pérez is dedicated to advancing ophthalmological medicine through the integration of cutting-edge techniques and state-of-the-art technology.

Recognizing the growing influx of international patients seeking top-tier eye care, the institution evolved from "Clinica de Ojos de Tijuana" to the "Tijuana Eye Center." This change not only mirrors the center's expanded patient demographic, now comprising individuals from Mexico, the United States, and Canada but also underscores its commitment to offering comprehensive eye care services. By aligning its name with its diverse offerings, the center aims to enhance visibility, appeal, and accessibility to a broader audience.

Spanning over 2,000 square meters across four meticulously designed levels, the Tijuana Eye Center boasts modern, climate-controlled facilities and ample private parking, ensuring a comfortable experience for patients. From prevention to treatment, the center prioritizes the latest advancements in eye care technology to safeguard ocular health effectively.

With a team of six highly skilled ophthalmologists, each trained at premier institutions worldwide, the center covers a spectrum of specialties including Cornea and Refractive Surgery, Glaucoma, Retina and Vitreous, among others. Complementing these services are an in-house Optical Department and a dedicated medical quality control unit, ensuring adherence to the highest standards of care and customer satisfaction.

In addition to its ophthalmological expertise, the center houses Optometry and Internal Medicine departments, facilitating holistic patient care. For individuals with diabetes, continuous monitoring is provided to safeguard both general and ocular health, exemplifying the center's commitment to comprehensive wellness.
