In the Clinical Area at IOBA, she is the director of the Contact Lens Unit, specifically dealing with difficult contact lens fitting cases since 1995.
Regarding pregraduate students, Dr. González García has been teaching at the School of Optometry in the contact lens field for more than 20 years. Also, she devotes a great part of her time to research, being an associate researcher at the Ocular Surface Group at IOBA. This group is formed by ophthalmologists, optometrists, biologists, biochemists, and technicians, and investigates in three main areas: Dry Eye Disease, Ocular Allergy, and Contact Lenses, this latest field being under her direct supervision.

Research Interests:
Her research is focused on contact lens and its interaction with the ocular surface, specifically in the topic of contact lens tolerance, looking for biomarkers that could be used in the diagnosis and treatment of contact lens discomfort. Additionally, she works in the dry eye field, studying the interaction of environmental factors such as relative humidity, temperature, airflow…with the ocular surface and the development of dry eye.
