Your journey at Vision Center

1️⃣ Reception at the front desk:
Our secretaries will check your file and administrative information.

2️⃣ Guidance by a vision care staff member:
An orthoptist, nurse, or other assistant will perform the initial examinations:

  • Medical questionnaire
  • Measurement of vision and glasses
  • Additional tests if necessary (OCT, ocular fundus, eye pressure, topography, etc.)

3️⃣ Consultation with the ophthalmologist:
The ophthalmologist conducts a full examination, makes the diagnosis, and prescribes treatment if necessary. You will receive an explanation of the treatment options suitable for your situation.

4️⃣ Additional examinations:
If specific tests are required, we try to perform them on the same day. If not, a second appointment will be scheduled.

5️⃣ In case of surgery:
If a surgical procedure is being considered (cataract, laser, eyelids), a secretary will explain the steps and schedule a surgery date with you.

6️⃣ End of the journey – return to the front desk for:

  • Payment (cash, bank card or bank transfer possible)
  • Automatic processing of your certificate of care provided: you only pay the co-payment. The remainder is transferred directly to us by your health insurance fund.
  • Scheduling a possible follow-up appointment
