The videos have been created and produced with great care to be as relevant as possible. Many topics are controversial and the options presented are rational personal choices, the result of an experiment involving several thousand interventions.

This site is only a guide and does not replace the explanations given in a consultation, which are essential for understanding the analysis of the characteristics of your face, which is unique.
In the same way, the examples presented allow you to understand the principles of eye surgery, but they cannot necessarily be transposed to your particular situation. It is therefore not possible to guarantee the results you have seen on the different presentations.
By using this site, you accept these limitations. If you do not, I ask you not to use it.
