Ophthalmologist in Sallanches: rue Emma Lanche centre

The Sallanches centre brings specialist ophthalmology closer to residents of the vallée de l’Arve and Pays du Mont-Blanc: Sallanches, Megève, Chamonix, Cluses, Passy and Saint-Gervais.

At the heart of Pays du Mont-Blanc

The Sallanches centre is at 35 rue Emma Lanche. It serves residents of Sallanches, Passy, Saint-Gervais-les-Bains, Combloux, Cordon, Domancy, Megève and the vallée de Chamonix, as well as seasonal workers and visiting holidaymakers.

A fully equipped centre

The Sallanches centre offers all routine examinations and care: OCT, laser, wide-field retinal imaging, visual field testing and intravitreal injections. Patients from the vallée de l’Arve can receive retinal follow-up (AMD, diabetes, occlusions), glaucoma care and screening examinations without travelling to Annecy. See imaging examinations and intravitreal injections.

Consultations
