It is recommended to regularly visit an ophthalmologist for an eye examination to detect any eye problems, including vision disorders such as myopia, hyperopia, presbyopia and astigmatism.
This eye health professional will be able to establish a precise diagnosis, prescribe appropriate treatments and provide advice for taking care of your eyesight on a daily basis.
Refractive disorders can be corrected in ophthalmology by optical correction: glasses, contact lenses or refractive surgery.

To take care of your eyesight, our contactologist reminds you to take good care of your contact lenses, respect the time you wear glasses and follow the recommendations given.
When wearing lenses, always remain vigilant for vision problems such as:
halos around lights;
double vision;
blurred vision;
