Eye screening examinations are essential for detecting insidious eye diseases at an early stage and treating them in a targeted manner. Patients with risk factors such as diabetes, high blood pressure or genetic predisposition in particular should have a comprehensive check-up every 1-2 years. Even without symptoms, regular examinations help to ensure the health of your eyes in the long term.

Our practice offers you individually tailored preventive care programs that combine state-of-the-art technologies and many years of experience. In doing so, we specifically address your needs and adapt the examination to your age and state of health.

The most important components of a preventive medical check-up include

• Vision tests: A visual acuity check to diagnose refractive errors, such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism.
  Measurement of intraocular pressure: An indispensable test for the early detection of glaucoma, which is often symptom-free but can lead to blindness if left untreated.
• Examination of the fundus of the eye: With the help of state-of-the-art equipment 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.
• Examination of eye muscle function: This examination reveals problems such as strabismus or eye mobility problems, which can cause blurred vision or double vision.
• Measurement of corneal thickness: Particularly relevant in cases of suspected glaucoma or after eye surgeries such as LASIK, as corneal thickness influences intraocular pressure measurement.
• Our preventive examinations help to identify risks at an early stage and to take measures that protect your eye health in the long term. Make an appointment today – prevention is the first step to a clear view.
