Welcome
Eye care in Mexico City, planned around your trip
Every year more patients from the United States, Canada, Central America and the Caribbean travel to Mexico City for eye surgery. At Clínica Ivo we plan your visit with you before you book a flight, so your time here goes to your eyes, not to paperwork.
Dr. Ivo Ferreira is an ophthalmic surgeon who also trains other surgeons in intraocular surgery and takes part in developing new surgical platforms. His practice focuses on cataract surgery, presbyopia correction with premium intraocular lenses, laser refractive surgery and advanced dry eye treatment.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Where is the clinic?
At Dante 6, Anzures, Miguel Hidalgo, 11590, Mexico City, next to Polanco and Chapultepec Park.
How do I request a visit from abroad?
Write to us on WhatsApp at +52 55 6319 4803 or by e-mail at info@clinicaivo.com. Tell us where you are writing from, what is bothering your eyes and, if possible, send your latest prescription and reports.
Can I find out before traveling whether I am a candidate for surgery?
We review the information you send and tell you what we can anticipate. The final decision is always made after a complete in-person evaluation, because some tests can only be done at the clinic.
How many days should I plan to stay?
It depends on the treatment and on each patient. When we review your case we tell you how many days to plan for, including the follow-up visits Dr. Ferreira considers necessary before you fly home.
Can a family member come with me?
Yes. We recommend traveling with a companion, especially if you are having surgery, so someone can accompany you on the day of the procedure.
What happens after I return home?
You can stay in touch with us by WhatsApp or e-mail. If you need follow-up with an eye doctor where you live, tell us and we will let you know what information they will need.
What if I have an eye emergency while in Mexico City?
Call our emergency line at +52 1 55 1291 5514, available 24 hours.
