Ophthalmologist for patients from Antony (92): Dr Moïse Tourabaly
Dr Moïse Tourabaly sees patients from Antony at his practice in Cachan, 8 to 11 minutes from Antony station on the direct RER B. The practice is not in Antony: it is at 1 Ter Rue Camille Desmoulins, in Cachan (94230), five stops away with no change of train. It covers the full range of eye consultations — eye examinations, updating a prescription, children from around the age of three, glaucoma, retina, dry eye — as well as the assessments and the follow-up for corneal, retinal and refractive surgery.
GETTING HERE
Coming from Antony
By RER B, with no change
Antony station and Arcueil-Cachan station are on the same line. The journey takes 8 to 11 minutes depending on the train, with four stops in between: La Croix de Berny, Parc de Sceaux, Bourg-la-Reine and Bagneux. From Arcueil-Cachan station, the practice is less than a ten-minute walk away.
The same journey serves patients from Sceaux, Bourg-la-Reine and La Croix de Berny. Patients from Fresnes, Châtenay-Malabry and Fontenay-aux-Roses are also seen at the practice.
By car
Allow around fifteen minutes from the centre of Antony outside peak hours. Several public car parks are close to the practice, including the one on Rue Camille Desmoulins and the one at the town hall, as well as on-street parking in the surrounding roads. The practice is accessible to people with reduced mobility.
What the consultation covers
The Cachan practice provides the full range of eye consultations, not refractive surgery alone:
- Eye examination and optical correction — a first prescription, or a new one, for glasses and contact lenses.
- Children — Dr Tourabaly sees children from around the age of three, the age at which each eye can be tested separately using pictures or letters.
- Glaucoma — screening, intraocular pressure measurement, visual field testing, OCT of the optic nerve, and SLT laser where it is indicated.
- Retina — AMD, epiretinal membrane, monitoring of diabetic retinopathy, intravitreal injections in a dedicated room.
- Cornea — keratoconus, dry eye, follow-up after a transplant.
- Preoperative assessments for refractive and cataract surgery, and postoperative follow-up.
An eye emergency can be seen at the practice subject to availability; failing that, the patient is directed to the appropriate service. In the event of sudden loss of vision, severe eye pain or trauma, call 15 (the French emergency medical number).
The tests available on site
The Cachan practice has OCT (imaging of the retina and the optic nerve), corneal topography and aberrometry, both carried out on the Sirius+, as well as IOLMaster optical biometry. It is this equipment that makes it possible to carry out the full preoperative assessment for refractive surgery here.
Dr Tourabaly’s second practice, in Paris 13th (12 Rue du Moulin des Prés), has a swept-source OCT with ultra-widefield angiography, visual field testing, retinal photography, and the argon laser — used in particular to wall off a retinal tear, which is not done in Cachan.
Surgery, and where it takes place
No surgical procedure takes place at the practice. The consultation, the assessment and the follow-up happen there; the operation itself is carried out in a clinic:
- Refractive surgery — LASIK, PRK, SMILE and PresbyLASIK at the Clinique Laser Victor Hugo (Paris 16th). The ICL phakic implant, for its part, is placed at the Clinique Sainte-Geneviève (Paris 14th).
- Corneal surgery — endothelial (DMEK), deep anterior lamellar (DALK) and penetrating transplants at the Clinique Sainte-Geneviève. Cross-linking and intracorneal ring segments, for their part, are carried out at the Clinique Laser Victor Hugo.
- Retinal surgery — vitrectomy, retinal detachment, epiretinal membrane and macular hole at the Clinique Sainte-Geneviève.
- Cataract — Clinique Sainte-Geneviève.
Dr Moïse Tourabaly is a former chef de clinique at the Hôpital National des Quinze-Vingts (Sorbonne Université). His research work is on the cornea, and on transplantation in particular; eight of his papers are indexed on PubMed, five of them as first author.
