Dr Alexandre
Balon
Ophthalmic surgeon — Anterior segment & refractive
Dr Alexandre Balon has practised ophthalmology at Clinique Saint-Pierre Ottignies (CSPO) since October 2022, with a focus on refractive surgery, cataract surgery and eyelid surgery. He also consults at the Centre Médical de Jodoigne.
His approach rests on one conviction: a well-informed patient makes more lasting choices. The preoperative consultation — corneal topography, biometry, discussion of goals — is, in his view, the most important step of any procedure.
