Eye check Frankfurt: Comprehensive care for your eye health
An eye exam at our practice in Frankfurt is more than just a simple vision test; it's a comprehensive examination. Health care for your eyes, one of your most important sensory organs. Many serious eye diseases develop gradually and without any noticeable symptoms. They can only be detected and treated at an early stage through regular and thorough examinations in order to protect your eyesight in the long term. In the Ophthalmology practice of Dr. Mareen Schmidt & Dr. Sebastian Schmidt in Frankfurt's Westend district we combine many years of experience with the latest diagnostic technology for an eye check that is tailored to your individual needs.
Why is a regular eye check so important?
We often take our vision for granted. But diseases such as Green star (glaucoma) or changes to the retina due to diabetes and high blood pressure do not cause pain or visual impairment in the early stages. By the time the first symptoms appear, irreparable damage has often already occurred. A regular Eye check serves as a preventive measure to expose these „silent thieves“ of your eyesight at an early stage. It gives you the certainty that everything is in order, or the chance to initiate treatment in good time.
