Dr Moïse Tourabaly

With a cataract operation performed through a ~2.2 mm micro-incision and no stitches, the treatment is designed to be outpatient and under local topical drops. At the same time, Dr Moïse Tourabaly structures care so that the key decisions—indication confirmation, implant choice, and pre-operative measurements—happen in Cachan, while the procedure is performed at Clinique Sainte-Geneviève about 15 minutes away. This continuity matters for patients who want the same surgeon to be present at consultation, in the operating theatre, and during follow-up.

As a specialist at Dr Moïse Tourabaly’s ophthalmology practice in Cachan, he combines cataract surgery with refractive surgery and corneal expertise, including lamellar corneal transplant techniques such as DMEK, DSAEK, and DALK. His clinical approach is supported by named diagnostic devices used to determine eligibility, including CSO Sirius+ corneal topography, Zeiss Cirrus 6000 OCT, and Zeiss IOLMaster 700 biometry in Cachan. For retinal assessment, the practice also uses Optos Daytona ultra-widefield imaging and Toward Pi YAlkaid OCT in Paris 13.

In cataract surgery, phacoemulsification is described as the core technique: the cloudy lens is broken up with ultrasound and removed through the micro-incision, followed by intraocular lens implantation into the capsular bag. The practice also outlines a structured follow-up schedule after surgery, with controls on the first day, the seventh day, and one month, and then annual monitoring for stability and potential evolution of vision.

For refractive goals, Dr Tourabaly performs LASIK, PRK, and ReLEx SMILE, and he also offers phakic ICL implantation. The practice explains the laser workflow for LASIK (femtosecond-created corneal flap followed by excimer laser stromal remodelling) and contrasts it with PRK (surface epithelium removal with direct excimer treatment of the stroma), including how these choices can be relevant for corneal thickness or contact sports. Presbyopia correction is addressed through PresbyLASIK, and lens options are discussed within a premium IOL framework, including toric and other premium implants.
