Philosophy

At a time when medicine is becoming increasingly complex and technical, we at the Höfe Eye Center offer you scientifically based ophthalmology at the highest level in a friendly, harmonious atmosphere in which the patient as a person is the focus of attention and receives our full attention.

We see ophthalmology as part of holistic patient care that goes beyond the eye as an organ and strives for the best possible outcome in collaboration with other specialist disciplines.

This applies to early detection, progress monitoring and treatment optimization in diabetes mellitus, hypertension, coronary heart disease as well as certain metabolic, neurological and skin diseases.

A specially trained team is available to detect visual impairments and visual defects in children at the earliest possible stage.

In order to make a diagnosis, we work with modern examination equipment, equipped with Swiss precision technology. The spectrum of modern ophthalmology, represented by different specialists, consists of:

• non-contact diagnostics
• laser therapy
• laser surgery
• minimally invasive outpatient eye surgery
• refractive surgery including multifocal intraocular lenses
• aesthetic surgery
• conservative, if necessary also homeopathic, interdisciplinary treatment

"Best Medical Practice" is a matter of course for us; accordingly, you will be examined, advised and treated by particularly qualified and experienced physicians according to the highest medical quality standards. The basis is an excellent international education of our ophthalmologists and ophthalmic surgeons. You

• have many years of university management experience
• are active in research and university teaching,
• are examiners for the European Bord of Ophthalmology (EBO), the European excellence initiative in ophthalmology for the advanced specialist qualification,
• are reviewers for
  • insurance companies
  • courts
  • patients
  • international journals

and are familiar with the most modern, successful examination, treatment and surgical techniques in ophthalmology.

Our perfectly coordinated team of ophthalmologists, ophthalmic surgeons, orthoptists, opticians and medical assistants offers the prerequisites to win your trust through competence, performance and care.
