Ophthalmological consultation in Paris

What happens during an ophthalmological consultation?

Dr. Stéphanie Zwillinger works with an orthoptist who performs a pre-consultation. Firstly, they will ask you about your medical and family history. Then they will check your visual acuity, with a trial of corrective lenses if necessary. Dr. Stéphanie Zwillinger then performs the ophthalmological consultation, which includes the measurement of the intraocular pressure and the anatomical examination of your eye. A paediatric consultation is not at all like a consultation for an adult. It is also a privileged moment for the patient and doctor to meet. This type of consultation takes place in three stages, with an orthoptic examination and a cycloplegia.

Specialist consultations and additional examinations

Additional tests may be carried out, either during the initial consultation or at a later stage. Examinations of binocular vision, colour vision, the back of the eye or the visual field… These allow the detection of eye diseases. As a specialist in glaucoma, cataract, and paediatric ophthalmology, Dr. Zwillinger orientates the examinations based on this specific research, and taking into account the history, and the age of the patient. Each consultation ends with the doctor’s recommendations, the preparation of a prescription if necessary and advice for your daily routine.
