Why consider refractive surgery when you live in Avignon?
Freedom regained in everyday life
Avignon, with its medieval historic center, the Palais des Papes, its iconic bridge, its lively terraces during the Festival, and its sunny Provençal setting, offers a unique lifestyle.
But wearing glasses or contact lenses can limit certain experiences:
Discomfort during hikes to Mont Ventoux or the Monts de Vaucluse,
Discomfort with glasses during sports or outdoor activities,
Difficulties with contact lenses in dusty, dry, or windy environments,
Constraints in occupations requiring high mobility or visual accuracy.
With refractive surgery, you can enjoy clear, natural vision without relying on glasses or dealing with the hassles of contact lenses.

The patient journey for residents of Avignon
The initial consultation includes a comprehensive set of tests such as corneal topography, thickness measurement, pupil dilation, and fundus examination. These tests help determine the surgical technique best suited to your profile.
The procedure, performed under local anesthesia using eye drops, is painless and quick, generally lasting between 20 and 30 minutes. It takes place in an operating room that meets the strictest safety standards.
