Cataract Surgery - Dr Ancel

Cataract surgery is a very common procedure nowadays. It is the most performed surgery in France with about 800,000 procedures carried out each year. The operation involves removing the lens while preserving the envelope that surrounds it, allowing for the placement of an artificial lens. The most commonly used technique is phacoemulsification, which reduces recovery time to a few days.

Clear Lens Replacement (PRELEX) in Paris and Neuilly

Phakic implants are intraocular corrective lenses that are placed in the eye, replacing the lens. This technique is reserved for patients close to fifty and represents 10% of refractive surgeries. The replacement is done under local anesthesia and is completely painless. The postoperative period is simple, with satisfactory visual recovery as early as the next day.

€1,600 per eye

Corneal Transplant in Paris

A corneal transplant involves replacing a poorly functioning cornea (most often deformed) or opaque cornea that no longer allows light to properly enter the eye with that of a human donor. The decision for a transplant will be motivated by a significant deterioration of visual function that cannot be improved with glasses or contact lenses.

Phakic Intraocular Implants - Dr. Jean-Marc Ancel

Phakic implants (the lens is left in place) are intraocular corrective lenses surgically introduced into the eye, most often behind the iris and in front of the lens. Through this surgery, the overall optical power of the eye is modified by the addition of a diopter (the intraocular implant), whereas with laser surgeries (LASIK, PRK, and SMILE), the optical power of the eye is modified by sculpting the cornea to change its curvature. There are myopic implants and hyperopic implants.

PKR Refractive Surgery - Doctor Ancel

PKR (photorefractive keratectomy) is a surgical technique applied to the treatment of low to moderate ametropia. It is mainly recommended if LASIK is contraindicated, that is, if the cornea is too thin and/or too asymmetric. The surgeon removes the surface epithelium of the cornea to expose the stroma, then the excimer laser reshapes the cornea. Recovery is longer and less comfortable than with LASIK. The cost of the operation ranges from €2,400 to €2,600 for both eyes, including clinic fees and post-operative checks.

PresbyLASIK Surgery - Correction of Presbyopia

PresbyLASIK is a technique of excimer laser corneal surgery designed to reshape the cornea and improve near vision for patients. This asymmetric method promotes distance vision for the dominant eye and near vision for the non-dominant eye, allowing for a more natural visual adaptation. The images illustrate the process of this procedure: the first shows a human eye, highlighting the clarity and beauty of the iris, while the second captures a practitioner in action, adjusting a precise surgical device, emphasizing the importance of technology in this procedure. A sterile environment is visible, ensuring patient safety. The post-operative adaptation time should be considered, and it may be necessary to undergo laser retreatment in the coming years to maintain optimal vision.

€1,200 per eye

SMILE Laser Refractive Surgery - Dr. Jean-Marc Ancel

The principle of SMILE is to create a stromal lenticule corresponding to the myopia to be corrected, deep within the cornea, using a femtosecond laser, and to remove it with a forceps through a micro-incision. Dr. Ancel's office offers Smile surgery in Paris / Neuilly to patients concerned with this technique. The post-operative period in SMILE is the same as with classic LASIK: the only difference will be this light but constant haze for at least a week.

Trans PKR Operation - Doctor Ancel

TransPKR is an advanced surgical technique designed to treat various visual defects, including myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia. Using a femtosecond laser, this method allows for the precise removal of the corneal epithelium, followed by an Excimer laser treatment to correct the visual defect. The images show eyes with targeting visual effects, illustrating the precision of the technology used during the procedure. The first image highlights an eye with a targeting circle, symbolizing surgical precision, while the second image presents a blue eye, also surrounded by a targeting pattern, emphasizing the importance of technology in the process. This procedure is particularly recommended for patients with a thin or asymmetric cornea, offering an effective alternative when LASIK is not feasible. The intervention is quick, painless, and allows patients to be free from glasses, thus improving their quality of life.
