Looking for a surgeon for cataract surgery in Paris? Dr Léo Prud'homme, an ophthalmic surgeon trained at the Quinze-Vingts National Vision Hospital, operates as day surgery in the 16th arrondissement of Paris and in Neuilly-sur-Seine. He performs nearly 800 surgical procedures a year.
The work-up, at the gates of the 16th
The consultation and the entire preoperative work-up — biometry to calculate the implant, OCT, fundus examination — take place in a single visit at the Ophtalife practice, on the immediate edge of the 16th arrondissement (metro 9 Marcel Sembat, metro 10 Boulogne Jean Jaurès). It is also the time to choose the type of implant: monofocal, extended depth of focus or multifocal.
The operation, in Paris
The operation is performed as day surgery in a clinic in the 16th arrondissement or in Neuilly-sur-Seine, under local anaesthesia (eye drops) with sedation: about fifteen minutes per eye, the two eyes being operated on about two weeks apart. The detailed procedure, implants and recovery are described on the cataract surgery page.
Follow-up and the YAG laser
Post-operative checks take place at the practice, equipped with the YAG laser to treat a possible secondary cataract in a few minutes, and the SLT laser if glaucoma is also present. The financial side is detailed in our article cataract surgery: price and reimbursement.
