Frequently Asked Questions

Questions About Eye Care in Frankfurt

What does an eye exam cost at dr. vision?▼
Costs vary depending on the scope of the examination. Patients with statutory German health insurance (gesetzliche Krankenversicherung) receive the basic exam covered by their insurer. Advanced screenings like OCT can be added as a self-pay service. Private insurance patients receive itemized billing. We discuss all costs transparently before the examination.
Does German health insurance cover eye care?▼
Yes, statutory German health insurance covers medically necessary eye examinations and treatments. This includes basic check-ups, treatment of conditions like cataracts or glaucoma, and follow-up appointments. Advanced preventive screenings (e.g., OCT) are offered as self-pay services. Private insurance typically covers the full range of services.
How often should I see an ophthalmologist?▼
We recommend an eye check-up every 1–2 years. From age 40, annual glaucoma screening is important since glaucoma often develops without symptoms. Diabetic patients need at least annual retinal checks. Children should be examined at 6–12 months, at age 3, and before school enrollment.
What eye conditions does dr. vision treat?▼
Our services cover the entire field of ophthalmology: cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, dry eyes, conjunctivitis, vitreous opacities, eyelid conditions, eyelid surgery, all refractive errors, pediatric ophthalmology, and refractive surgery (laser eye surgery, lens implantation).
Do I need a referral to see an ophthalmologist?▼
No, you do not need a referral to visit an ophthalmologist in Germany. You can book an appointment directly at dr. vision — whether you have statutory or private health insurance. For a second opinion, existing medical records are helpful but not required.
Does the team speak English?▼
Yes, our entire medical team speaks fluent English. We regularly treat international patients and expats living in the Frankfurt Rhine-Main area. All consultations, diagnoses and treatment explanations are available in English. Our German-language pages are available under Augenmedizin and Brillenfreiheit.
How does a comprehensive eye exam work?▼
During an Eye Check-Up, we start with your medical history and current concerns. This is followed by visual acuity testing, intraocular pressure measurement and slit-lamp examination. Depending on age and risk profile, we add OCT (retinal scan), visual field testing and corneal topography. The exam takes about 30–60 minutes with a detailed consultation afterwards.
What is the difference between an ophthalmologist and an optician?▼
An ophthalmologist is a medical doctor with a completed medical degree and several years of specialist training. They can diagnose eye diseases, prescribe medication and perform surgery. An optician is a technician who fits glasses and contact lenses. For medical evaluation of your eye health, prevention and disease treatment, an ophthalmologist is the right choice.
Does dr. vision accept private insurance?▼
Yes, we welcome both privately insured and statutorily insured patients. Private insurance patients typically receive coverage for the full range of diagnostic and treatment services. We also treat self-pay patients and offer transparent pricing for all services.
How can I book an appointment?▼
You can conveniently book your appointment online via Doctolib — available 24/7, including weekends. Alternatively, call us at 069 – 509 586 770 during office hours. For new patients, we recommend a comprehensive Eye Check-Up as your first visit.
