My name is Francisco Cantero and I graduated at the University of Santiago de Compostela (Spain) in 2003.. Afterwards, I undertook a one year rotating internship (2003-2004) at the Sierra de Madrid Veterinary Hospital where I developed a strong interest in veterinary ophthalmology. After several years in general practice I attended a postgraduate course at the Autonomous University of Barcelona in 2008, several clinical externships in UK and CPDs related to veterinary ophthalmology. I also spent several years in first opinion ophthalmology gaining experience and became a member of ophthalmology workgroups.. In September 2018, I undertook an approved ECVO residency at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (Spain) under the supervision of Dr. Marta Leiva and Dr. Teresa Peña and became an EBVS recognized specialist in 2023. I am keen on corneal disease, cataract surgery and glaucoma and enjoy leading with thought cases and training residents. In my free time I enjoy travelling, cooking, skiing and scuba-diving.
