Post-operative consultations

The post-operative consultations also take place at 52, Avenue Maréchal de Saxe, Lyon 69006.
Post-operative consultations consist of checking the quality of the healing and your visual recovery. The number of consultations depend on your visual disorder or pathology, and the technique used.
