It also performs research at the IDIBELL Institute, and teaches Medicine and Dentistry Degree studies at the University of Barcelona, as well as training specialist ophthalmology physicians.
Its area of influence for very complex procedures includes a population of reference of 2,242,730 inhabitants.
