Eye preventive examinations are essential for early detection and targeted treatment of gradually developing eye diseases. Especially patients with risk factors such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or genetic predisposition should have a comprehensive check-up every 1–2 years. Even without complaints, regular examinations help to secure the long-term health of your eyes.

Our practice offers you individually tailored preventive programs that combine the latest technologies and many years of experience. We specifically address your needs and adapt the examination to your age and health condition.

The most important components of a preventive examination include

• Vision tests: A check of visual acuity to diagnose refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism.
• Measurement of intraocular pressure: An indispensable test for the early detection of glaucoma, which often proceeds without symptoms but can lead to blindness if untreated.
• Examination of the fundus: Using the latest devices such as digital fundus photography or optical coherence tomography (OCT), we can detect retinal diseases, diabetic retinopathy, or age-related macular degeneration (AMD) at an early stage.
• Testing of eye muscle function: This examination reveals problems such as strabismus or eye movement disorders that can cause blurred vision or double images.
• Measurement of corneal thickness: Particularly relevant in cases of suspected glaucoma or after eye surgeries such as LASIK, as corneal thickness affects intraocular pressure measurement.

Our preventive examinations help to identify risks early and take measures that protect your eye health in the long term. Schedule an appointment today – prevention is the first step to clear vision.
