Founded in 2011 by renowned entrepreneurs with the mission to Eliminate Unnecessary Blindness, salauno is an ophthalmology system that works with innovative medical and engineering processes and the latest technology to help reduce the backlog of eye care services.

In Mexico, blindness is the 2nd leading cause of disability. Cataracts, a curable disease through a safe outpatient surgery performed at low cost, cause 67%* of cases.

With the support of our shareholders, World Bank (IFC) and Adobe Capital, today we build cost-effective solutions in partnerships with government, NGOs and private institutions to alleviate this situation.

salauno ́s operating model is designed to provide benefits that enable cross-subsidies and prices up to 60% less than competitors in treatments that prevent or reverse blindness. This opens the possibility to offer savings to government to treat more people with the same budget.

In January 2013, we became the most productive cataract hospital in Mexico showing levels of quality and world-class efficiencies with ISO-9001 and Ministry of Health certifications. In May 2014 we won the National Entrepreneur Award and in 2012 "Entrepreneur of the Year"​ of CNN/Expansion. salauno has case studies by Harvard Business School and DUKE University and is part of the Endeavor and IPIHD entrepreneur networks.

The future is full of challenges and dreams; our goal is to operate 75,000 ophthalmology surgeries annually by 2020. To reach this goal joint efforts will be required, join us, together we can transform Mexico.
