Consultations
Ophthalmological consultations are essential for diagnosing visual defects
and maintaining good eye health. Each visual defect is treated individually.
The Center is open Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5:30pm.
Emergencies
ophthalmology
Severe pain in the eye, sudden change in vision, red eye, dark spot or haze in the visual field…
All these cases require immediate treatment by an ophthalmologist.
Visual assessment
The eye check-up includes an eye examination, eye pressure measurement and screening for major eye diseases.
In addition, a prescription for glasses may be issued if necessary.
Pediatric consultation
This consultation is for children aged 5 to 7.
Above this age, a visual assessment is necessary.
Glaucoma treatment
Glaucoma is a visual defect caused by high intraocular pressure, which leads to destruction of the nerve fibers of the optic nerve.
There is no cure for glaucoma.
However, certain treatments can stop the disease.
Cataract surgery
The aim of cataract surgery is to replace the cloudy crystalline lens with an artificial lens, also known as a toric implant.
Laser operations

All our laser operations are performed at our partner clinic, Clinique Vision Future Suisse in Nyon.
