The Dr. David Donate's techniques (laser or implants) make it possible to eradicate vision defects and improve the lives of many patients, regardless of their age. On this page, you will discover the methods implemented by our clinic to offer you a fresh look and the well-being it provides.
At the Bellecour Vision Clinic, we have developed a rigorous protocol to improve the vision of patients suffering from visual defects (myopia, presbyopia, hyperopia, astigmatism). In a field where each choice can have significant repercussions on patients' vision, we have set several goals.
We aim to achieve the best possible visual outcomes by ensuring that nothing is left to chance. Complications, when they occur, are not a matter of coincidence (undetected preexisting conditions, poor surgical indication…). Therefore, adherence to established protocols and the meticulousness of the preoperative process are essential to ensure the safety and effectiveness of procedures.
The examinations offered at the Bellecour Vision Clinic are particularly thorough. Lasting approximately two hours, the preoperative assessment includes a series of varied tests designed to evaluate the health of patients' eyes in depth and take measurements. This meticulous approach is crucial as it allows for the detection of any underlying pathologies that could adversely affect the expected outcomes. By addressing these different conditions beforehand, we ensure that no interference compromises the success of the refractive surgery operation. Following this assessment, the surgeon can propose a customized treatment plan, tailored to your needs and realistic.
Moreover, during pre- and postoperative examinations, the results and obtained measurements are systematically compiled and analyzed by a specialized engineer. This rigorous data management feeds into a database that, in addition to serving the individual follow-up of patients (calculating the power of implants or adjustments of lasers), also paves the way for scientific studies and publications. Through these analyses, the medical staff can more accurately predict the visual outcomes that patients can reasonably expect after surgery. This transparency strengthens the trust between practitioners and patients, who are kept informed and realistic about the continuation of their care journey.
Providing treatment for visual defects without stress and pain is also one of our objectives. We understand that eye surgery is not trivial and generates understandable anxiety. We know that patients fear experiencing unpleasant sensations during the operation and that the fear of pain can be a barrier to surgery. We make every effort (choice of equipment, techniques, and medications) to ensure you have painless examinations and procedures so that you can experience this journey with peace of mind. Throughout their journey, our patients are supported in their processes, informed, reassured, and cared for. Every member of the team has been trained to meet the specific needs of these patients, providing both high-quality technical care and emotional support.
