Ophthalmic pathologies in Nïmes
The different pathologies we treat
Diabetes
20 million French people are likely to have hyperglycemia requiring treatment. The eye is on the front line, and can give an indication of the level of damage to the organism. Since 1977, our center has specialized in this formidable complication: diabetic retinopathy.
Cataracts
Cataracts are increasingly being operated on as a result of sun exposure, dietary and endocrine disorders, and pollution. Demand for cataract surgery has risen considerably, with 200,000 operations performed in France every year.
Surgical techniques have become reliable and reproducible, with maximum safety and minimal risk.
Glaucoma
2% of the population suffer from increased eye pressure. The disease is insidious and can only be detected by an ophthalmological examination.
When eye pressure goes undetected, the result is a loss of side vision (visual field), known as glaucoma.
Contact lenses - Cornea
Medical adaptation of contact lenses is offered in the practice, for all types of visual defects.
Our orthoptist's 35 years of experience are essential to avoid failures and various complications. At the time of prescription, a complete eye examination is carried out: In particular, we look for glaucoma and retinal damage.
Dry eyes are treated to prevent intolerance.
Children's vision
Children as young as 3 months old can develop strabismus, and it's important to know whether it's commonplace or a sign of disease.
We were able to fit a 9-month-old child with contact lenses. Normally, wearing glasses is enough to ensure harmonious schooling, reducing attention fatigue and the risk of dyslexia. We pay particular attention to posturology.
Strabismus can be operated on at Clinique Grand Sud, as soon as the patient is old enough to benefit from a general anaesthetic. This is a routine operation, involving only the eye muscles and their insertion in the eye.
