Dr Gozlan is an ophthalmic surgeon based in Paris, holding a University Diploma in Refractive Surgery and Phacoemulsification.
He corrects myopia, astigmatism and hyperopia using LASIK and PRK laser techniques, freeing you from glasses and contact lenses.
Myopia (short-sightedness) is one of the most common vision disorders: the eye is too long, causing images to focus in front of the retina and making distant objects appear blurred. Laser refractive surgery reshapes the cornea so that images focus correctly on the retina, permanently correcting the defect.
Two main techniques are available: LASIK and PRK. Both use the excimer laser and deliver excellent results; they differ primarily in how the cornea is accessed and in the speed of recovery. A comprehensive pre-operative assessment determines which technique is safest for your eyes.
The gold-standard technique: a corneal flap is created with a femtosecond laser, delivering clear vision as early as the next day. Ideal for the majority of myopic patients.

Learn more →Correction is possible provided your vision has been stable for at least one year and your cornea is suitable — both of which are verified during the pre-operative assessment.
Dr Gozlan is an ophthalmic surgeon practising in Paris 16, holding a University Diploma in Refractive Surgery and Phacoemulsification (Université de Toulouse) and dual certification from the European Board of Ophthalmology. His practice is dedicated to the laser correction of myopia and other refractive errors.
Consultations and pre-operative assessments take place at the Cabinet Ophtalmologique Paris – Auteuil (Paris 16). The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis.
There is no single "best" technique: LASIK suits the majority of patients thanks to its rapid recovery, while PRK is ideal for thinner corneas and contact-sport athletes. The choice is made after a personalised pre-operative assessment.
Yes, laser correction of myopia is stable and permanent. However, it does not prevent presbyopia, which develops naturally around the age of 45.
Surgery is generally performed from -1 dioptre, provided the impairment is significant and vision has been stable for at least one year. Higher degrees of myopia can also be corrected, depending on corneal thickness.
No, refractive surgery is not covered by the French public health system (Assurance Maladie). However, many private health insurance plans (mutuelles) offer a dedicated reimbursement allowance.
