In particular in the case of glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration (AMD) or diabetic retinal changes, early detection is of great importance for the course of the disease.

Orthoptics / Vision School

We have been offering orthoptic examinations for children and adolescents since May 2020.

The vision school examines and diagnoses strabismus, eye movement disorders and visual impairments. The cooperation of the eyes and spatial vision are checked. In children in particular, visual acuity is determined and, if necessary, spectacle correction is determined and/or amblyopia is treated.
