Test dell'acuità visiva in Dr Moïse Tourabaly

Dr Moïse Tourabaly runs two consultation offices, in Cachan (1 Ter rue Camille Desmoulins, 94230) and in Paris 13, and also consults at the Cabinet Ophtalmologique Sorbonne Saint-Michel (Paris 5). No surgery is performed at the offices: laser refractive surgery takes place at the Clinique Laser Victor Hugo (27 bis avenue Victor Hugo, Paris 16) and all other procedures at the Clinique Sainte-Geneviève (29 rue Sarrette, Paris 14). The same surgeon follows each patient throughout.

Cataract surgery

At the Clinique Sainte-Geneviève. Phacoemulsification through a 2.2 mm sutureless micro-incision, under local anaesthesia, 15 to 30 minutes per eye. Monofocal, toric, multifocal or EDOF intraocular lenses are chosen according to the preoperative biometry and the patient's needs. The two eyes are usually operated 1 to 4 weeks apart. Follow-up visits on day 2, at one month and at one year. Lens exchange (IOL replacement) is also performed.

Laser refractive surgery

At the Clinique Laser Victor Hugo: LASIK, PRK/trans-PRK, SMILE and PresbyLASIK, with the Zeiss VisuMax 800 femtosecond laser and the Schwind Amaris 750S excimer laser. Follow-up on day 1 and at one month for LASIK and SMILE, on day 3 or 4 and at one month for PRK. For patients who are not candidates for laser (thin cornea, high myopia), phakic ICL implants are placed at the Clinique Sainte-Geneviève, with follow-up on day 1, day 7 and at one month.

Corneal surgery

Keratoconus: corneal cross-linking (Dresden protocol), topography-guided PRK (Teneo platform) and intracorneal ring segments at the Clinique Laser Victor Hugo. Corneal transplantation – DMEK, DALK and penetrating keratoplasty – and pterygium surgery at the Clinique Sainte-Geneviève.

Retinal surgery and medical retina

Vitrectomy, retinal detachment, epiretinal membrane and macular hole surgery at the Clinique Sainte-Geneviève. Screening and follow-up of diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration, including intravitreal injections, at both offices. Glaucoma is followed medically, with SLT laser when eye drops are not sufficient.

Equipment

• Cachan: Zeiss IOLMaster 700 biometer, CSO Sirius+ corneal topographer and aberrometer, Zeiss Cirrus 6000 OCT
• Paris 13: Optos Daytona ultra-widefield retinal imaging, TowardPi YAlkaid swept-source OCT with wide-field OCT-angiography

The preoperative refractive assessment (corneal topography, biometry) is done in Cachan or at the Paris 5 office.

International patients

Dr Tourabaly consults in French and English. His website, drtourabaly.fr, is available in 11 languages (French, English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, German, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic and Tamil), so patients can read about each procedure in their own language before contacting the practice.
