Verify how much is covered in the mutuelle, mentioned for chirurgie refractive (assurance maladie doesn’t cover any part of it)

Take a consultation appointment in the morning or afternoon, after 2 hours of multiple tests, you’ll get the quote (devis). Confirm the surgery date with the secretary

Purchase the medicine prescribed and apply for leave for the operation {3 days including the operation day} (since the operation is not covered by assurance maladie, the sick leaves cannot be claimed in the company)

Operation generally takes place at Clinique Pasteur, the accompanying person was not allowed inside because of COVID restrictions. It was a one hour procedure from the time of entering the hospital.

If the procedure followed is Lasik, you’ll have to keep the eyes closed (preferably) for one day after the surgery and would need assistance for 3 days.
