Three families,
one logic.
All vision surgery rests on three distinct procedures: reshaping the cornea with the laser, supplementing the eye with a phakic implant, or replacing the natural lens. The choice between these approaches is not a preference: it is an indication, established after a complete anatomical assessment.
Laser surgery
Corneal refractive surgery
The Excimer laser precisely vaporises a thin layer of corneal tissue to change its curvature and correct myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. Two techniques are offered: transPRK, which acts on the surface without any prior surgical contact, and FemtoLASIK, which creates a thin corneal flap for faster visual recovery. The choice depends on corneal thickness, biomechanics, the correction required and lifestyle.
- transPRK — surface, no surgical contact
- FemtoLASIK — corneal flap + Excimer laser
- KLEx — intracorneal lenticule not currently offered
The phakic implant
Additional intraocular lens
When the correction is too high for a corneal laser, or the anatomy of the cornea rules out reshaping, an intraocular lens (ICL or IPCL) is placed inside the eye, in front of the natural lens. The natural lens is kept intact, along with its ability to accommodate. The procedure is reversible.
- ICL — Visian Implantable Collamer Lens
- IPCL — second-generation phakic implant
- Reversibility — removal or exchange possible
The lens and cataract
Lens surgery
When the natural lens becomes clouded (cataract) or too rigid to accommodate (advanced presbyopia), it is replaced with a custom-calculated intraocular lens. The choice of implant — monofocal, EDOF, multifocal or toric — takes into account the patient's refractive history, visual habits and expectations. A specific biometric calculation is required after previous corneal refractive surgery or after radial keratotomy.
- Cataract surgery
- Refractive cataract surgery and refractive lens exchange
- Implants: monofocal · EDOF · multifocal
- Calculation after previous laser
- Options after radial keratotomy
The indication comes before the technique. No surgery will be offered if your examination does not justify it.
