Ophthalmologist for patients from Chamonix
From Chamonix, les Houches, Servoz or Vallorcine, the Sallanches centre is around half an hour away. An advantage for residents, seasonal workers and mountain sports enthusiasts exposed to high-altitude light and injuries.
From Chamonix to the Sallanches practice
The vallée de l’Arve road takes you from Chamonix to Sallanches in around thirty minutes (depending on traffic, winter conditions and roadworks).
For which reasons?
Specialist opinion, cataract surgery, retina, glaucoma, cornea, laser, diabetic follow-up, children's eye assessment. See also our doctors.
Refractive surgery: Annecy Laser Vision
To manage without glasses (myopia, astigmatism, hypermetropia, presbyopia), Annecy Laser Vision brings together the team's lasers and refractive surgeons: LASIK, PRK, SMILE, phakic lens implants and, for presbyopia, SUPRACOR on the Teneo 2 laser. A preliminary assessment determines what is possible for you. See laser eye surgery in Annecy and fees.
Planning your visit
Good practice: category 3 or 4 sunglasses at altitude, side protection, suitable ski goggles. Snow keratitis (ultraviolet burns to the cornea) warrants a prompt consultation: see what to do.
The nearest practice
The Sallanches practice is the nearest of our consultation locations to Chamonix. All our locations: where to see us.
