Dr Lorane Bechet joins the team as a specialist in retinal disease and cataract surgery
We are pleased to welcome Dr Lorane Bechet, an ophthalmologist specialising in the medical and surgical management of retinal diseases, cataracts and glaucoma. She also practices general ophthalmology and provides follow-up care for patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and retinopathies.
Specialised in retinal surgery :
Dr Bechet was trained at the National Hospital of Quinze-Vingts by Dr Barale, a leading figure in retinal surgery. She treats the following conditions:
- Epiretinal membrane: formation of a thin membrane on the retina which can lead to a decrease in central vision.
- Macular hole: appearance of a small opening in the centre of the macula (the central area of the retina responsible for sharp vision), which can cause blurred and distorted vision.
- Retinal detachment: separation of the retina from the back of the eye, requiring urgent surgical intervention.
Cataract surgery:
Dr Bechet also performs cataract surgery, which involves replacing the clouded lens with an artificial implant. She offers different types of implants tailored to the needs of each patient.
Glaucoma management:
Trained at the Glaucoma Centre of HIA Bégin under Professor Fenolland and Professor Giraud, Dr Bechet provides screening and follow-up care for patients with glaucoma, an eye condition that can damage the optic nerve and lead to vision loss.
General Ophthalmology:
Dr Bechet also provides general ophthalmology consultations, including for:
- Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD): a degenerative condition of the macula that causes progressive loss of central vision.
- Retinal Diseases: conditions affecting the retina which can have various origins (diabetes, hypertension, etc.).
Education and qualifications:
Dr Bechet holds a doctorate in medicine with a specialisation in ophthalmology and is a Fellow of the European Board of Ophthalmology (FEBO). She has also obtained university degrees in retinal-vitreous surgery and neuro-ophthalmology.
