Regular eye exams are crucial to maintaining the health of your eyes in the long term. Even if you do not have any symptoms, we recommend that you have a routine check-up with an ophthalmologist at least once a year. We not only check your visual acuity, but can also diagnose diseases at an early stage that do not yet show symptoms.

The most important components of routine checks include:

• Visual acuity check
  We check your vision and detect defective vision such as nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism, which we can correct with glasses or contact lenses.
• Measurement
  of intraocular pressureAn essential test for the early detection of glaucoma, which often remains symptom-free for a long time.
• Fundus examination (retinal examination)
  By examining the retina, we can detect signs of diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure or macular degeneration at an early stage.
• Prevention of eye diseases
  Regular checks make it possible to identify risk factors in good time and take preventive measures.
  Through these comprehensive examinations, we can significantly reduce the risk of permanent eye damage. Make an appointment in our practice today and enjoy the reassuring feeling of knowing that your eye health is in the best hands.
