The Ophthalmologie Express centers in Reims, Le Havre, Lorient and Metz have closed. The courts suspect the centers of overbilling, fictitious acts and have noted quotation anomalies.

The co-founder of the group, Steeve Krief, was arrested at his home and placed in police custody on Monday with his associate, ophthalmologist Claude Aflalo. For the moment, no ban on exercise has been imposed but the four centers are temporarily closed.
