05 /Accurate assessment thanks to OCT imaging
The diagnosis is based on a complete examination of the retina, supplemented by OCT imaging. This non-invasive examination provides a cross-sectional image of the retina and the macula.
The treatment and the pace of follow-up then adapt to the form and stage of the disease. Regular screening remains of great importance, as these diseases can evolve for a long time without any noticeable symptoms.
06 /Cataract surgery
Cataract surgery is the second component of the practice, along with 750 interventions carried out in 2025. It consists of removing the opaque crystalline lens and replacing it with a transparent implant, chosen based on your vision.
The procedure usually takes about fifteen minutes per eye and is most often performed under local anesthesia on an outpatient basis. A preliminary consultation allows for the necessary measurements to be taken and the best implant to be chosen. The timing of the procedure is decided together, depending on the daily discomfort felt.
