El Dr. Jesús Jiménez Román es un destacado oftalmólogo mexicano especializado en el manejo y tratamiento del glaucoma, una de las enfermedades oculares más graves que puede llevar a la ceguera irreversible si no se diagnostica y trata a tiempo. Con más de 30 años de experiencia, ha centrado su carrera en ofrecer soluciones avanzadas para enfermedades oculares, tanto mediante la práctica clínica como a través de la investigación y el desarrollo tecnológico en el campo de la oftalmología.

1. Formación y Trayectoria Profesional

El Dr. Jiménez Román obtuvo su título de Médico Cirujano en la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), una de las instituciones más prestigiosas del país. Posteriormente, se especializó en oftalmología, donde comenzó su enfoque hacia las enfermedades que afectan el nervio óptico, particularmente el glaucoma. Además de estar certificado por el Consejo Mexicano de Oftalmología, ha participado en múltiples cursos y actualizaciones internacionales para mantenerse a la vanguardia en los últimos avances en su especialidad​.

Actualmente, es el director y fundador del Global Glaucoma Institute, un centro especializado en la prevención, diagnóstico y tratamiento de esta enfermedad, con sedes en Ciudad de México, Guadalajara y Monterrey. Bajo su liderazgo, esta clínica se ha convertido en un referente nacional en el tratamiento de glaucoma y otras enfermedades oculares como la retinopatía diabética y la degeneración macular.

2. Glaucoma: Especialidad y Prevención

El glaucoma es una enfermedad que afecta el nervio óptico, causando una pérdida progresiva de la visión que, en sus etapas más avanzadas, puede derivar en ceguera irreversible. A menudo, el glaucoma se desarrolla sin síntomas evidentes, lo que hace que el diagnóstico temprano sea crucial. El Dr. Jiménez ha sido un defensor incansable de la detección temprana a través de exámenes oftalmológicos preventivos, especialmente en pacientes con factores de riesgo, como aquellos mayores de 60 años o con antecedentes familiares de glaucoma.

Una de las principales técnicas que utiliza en su clínica para detectar el glaucoma de manera temprana es la tomografía óptica coherente (OCT), que permite detectar daños en las fibras nerviosas del ojo incluso antes de que aparezcan problemas de visión. Esto es complementado con exámenes de campo visual y mediciones de la presión intraocular, herramientas esenciales para el diagnóstico preciso de la enfermedad​.

El Dr. Jiménez también ha implementado el uso de telemedicina en su práctica oftalmológica. Este enfoque ha permitido a su equipo de especialistas analizar estudios a distancia y proporcionar diagnósticos rápidos y precisos, mejorando el acceso a atención oftalmológica especializada para más pacientes, especialmente aquellos que viven en áreas remotas​.

3. Ampliando el Impacto: Global Glaucoma Institute

El Global Glaucoma Institute, dirigido por el Dr. Jiménez, no solo se enfoca en la atención de glaucoma, sino que también aborda otras enfermedades oculares comunes que pueden llevar a la ceguera, como la retinopatía diabética, la catarata y la degeneración macular. En la clínica, se brinda atención integral que incluye diagnósticos oportunos y tratamientos personalizados para cada paciente. Este enfoque ha sido clave para prevenir la pérdida de visión en cientos de personas​.

El Dr. Jiménez y su equipo atienden diariamente entre 120 y 150 pacientes en las distintas sedes del Global Glaucoma Institute, ubicadas en Ciudad de México, Guadalajara y Monterrey. Su misión es ofrecer atención de la más alta calidad, utilizando tecnología de vanguardia y brindando un enfoque integral que incluye la nutrición y el manejo de condiciones metabólicas que afectan la salud visual, como la diabetes.

Además de su labor clínica, el Dr. Jiménez ha enfatizado la importancia de la educación y la concienciación sobre el glaucoma y otras enfermedades oculares. Según sus estimaciones, el 4% de la población en México tiene glaucoma, y lo preocupante es que el 75% de ese grupo no sabe que padece la enfermedad. Por esta razón, se ha enfocado en campañas de sensibilización para que más personas acudan a revisiones oftalmológicas regulares​.

4. Innovación y Tecnología en Oftalmología

La tecnología ha sido una aliada clave en la práctica del Dr. Jiménez Román. A lo largo de su carrera, ha sido pionero en implementar técnicas de diagnóstico avanzado para la detección temprana de glaucoma y otras enfermedades del ojo. Utiliza métodos como la tomografía óptica de coherencia, el cálculo del lente intraocular y estudios de campo visual, entre otros, para obtener diagnósticos precisos. Estos avances han permitido al Dr. Jiménez detectar el glaucoma incluso 10 años antes de que aparezcan los primeros síntomas en el campo visual del paciente.

Además de su trabajo clínico, el Dr. Jiménez ha explorado el uso de telemedicina para consultas a distancia, lo que ha facilitado el acceso a la atención oftalmológica en pacientes que no pueden acudir físicamente a las clínicas. Esta innovación ha sido fundamental durante la pandemia, cuando las consultas presenciales se vieron limitadas.

5. Impacto en la Educación y la Conciencia Pública

Como parte de su compromiso con la salud visual, el Dr. Jiménez ha sido un activo defensor de la educación y la concienciación sobre las enfermedades oculares. A través del Global Glaucoma Institute, ha liderado iniciativas para educar a la población sobre la importancia de las revisiones oftalmológicas regulares y la detección temprana de enfermedades que, si no se tratan a tiempo, pueden llevar a la ceguera.

El Dr. Jiménez también ha sido un impulsor del concepto de check-up oftalmológico, un examen integral que permite evaluar la salud visual de manera general y detectar cualquier anomalía en etapas tempranas. Este enfoque preventivo ha demostrado ser altamente efectivo, especialmente en pacientes con retinopatía diabética, una condición común en personas con diabetes que, de no ser tratada, puede llevar a la pérdida total de la visión.

Conclusión

El Dr. Jesús Jiménez Román se ha consolidado como uno de los oftalmólogos más importantes de México, especialmente en el campo del glaucoma. Su enfoque multidisciplinario, que incluye la prevención, diagnóstico temprano, tratamiento quirúrgico y el uso de tecnologías avanzadas como la telemedicina, lo ha posicionado como un líder en su campo. Su trabajo a través del Global Glaucoma Institute ha permitido que miles de pacientes en México y otras regiones reciban atención de primer nivel, evitando así la ceguera irreversible y mejorando su calidad de vida.
