Specialties

Consultations and Surgical Procedures

Cataract surgery ▾

Cataracts are a common eye condition that causes progressive clouding of the lens. Treatment involves a surgical procedure to remove the affected lens and replace it with a clear implant. Performed on an outpatient basis, without hospitalization, this quick and painless procedure significantly improves visual quality.

Refractive surgery ▾

Laser Treatments for Vision Disorders (Myopia, Astigmatism, Hyperopia)

Visual disorders such as myopia, astigmatism, or hyperopia can be corrected using laser techniques targeting the cornea. These procedures, performed in a specialized ophthalmological setting, are considered safe and effective. A complete eye exam is carried out beforehand to determine suitability.

Screening and treatment of glaucoma ▾

Glaucoma is a chronic eye disease caused by increased intraocular pressure, which can lead to irreversible vision loss. Regular screening exams are essential, especially after age 40. If detected, medical or surgical treatments may be proposed.

Managing the diabetic patient ▾

Diabetes can lead to serious eye complications such as diabetic retinopathy. Regular ophthalmologic follow-up with retinal examinations is essential. Proper care helps prevent the progression of this often silent condition and limits its visual consequences.

Follow-up of the diabetic fundus - AMD ▾

Patients with diabetes or age-related macular degeneration (AMD) require rigorous eye care. The fundus is a key ophthalmological examination for monitoring the condition of the retina and blood vessels. In the event of deterioration, injection or laser treatments can be considered to stabilize the situation.

Screening and treatment of retinal diseases ▾

Some eye diseases, such as AMD or diabetic retinopathy, require specialized treatment. After a thorough ophthalmological examination, a range of treatments can be proposed, from lasers to intraocular injections, or even surgery. Hospitalization is generally not required, except in complex oremergency situations.
