Why regular eye checks can change lives

Brille weg, Kosten runter – klingt fast zu gut, um wahr zu sein. Aber ist es das auch? Die Krankenkasse übernimmt Augenlaser-Behandlungen wie LASEK oder LASIK in der Regel nicht. Was viele jedoch nicht wissen: Gewisse Zusatzversicherungen beteiligen sich an den Kosten – und manchmal lohnt sich ein einziges Telefonat mit der Krankenkasse mehr als man denkt. Die genauen Bedingungen variieren je nach Anbieter und Versicherungsmodell stark. Deshalb unser Rat: Greifen Sie vor Ihrer Behandlung zum Hörer und fragen Sie direkt nach. Manchmal steckt in der kleinen Zusatzversicherungspolice ein grosser finanzieller Vorteil. Bei Argus Augenklinik begleiten wir Sie durch den Dschungel der Kostenfragen – transparent, ohne Gebühren und ohne Druck. Denn gutes Sehen soll sich lohnen. Für Ihre Augen und für Ihr Portemonnaie. Neugierig, ob Augenlasern für Sie überhaupt in Frage kommt? Die Eignungsabklärung bei Argus Augenklinik ist kostenlos und unverbindlich. Wir schauen gemeinsam, was möglich ist. Ihre Augen liegen uns am Herzen. Argus Augenklinik

Good news deserves a closer look. This piece included. Anti-VEGF therapy – the standard treatment for wet AMD – is now available at all six Argus Augenklinik locations in Lucerne, Sursee, Altdorf, Wohlen, Wolhusen and Hergiswil. In short: wherever you are at home. What is behind it? Age-related macular degeneration affects the central area of the retina – precisely the part responsible for sharp reading, recognising faces and all the small things that make life beautiful. In the wet form, abnormal blood vessels grow and threaten vision. Anti-VEGF injections specifically inhibit this growth – and in many cases stabilise vision or even improve it. Sounds unpleasant? It hardly is. The procedure takes a few minutes, is carried out under local anaesthetic and is well tolerated by most patients. The eye is carefully numbed beforehand – you will feel a slight sensation of pressure at most. AMD is a chronic condition that needs long-term support, which makes a familiar team close to you all the more important. That is exactly what we offer at Argus Augenklinik – appointment by appointment, location by location. Your eyes are close to our hearts.

Glasses gone, costs down – it sounds almost too good to be true. But is it? Basic health insurance does not usually cover laser eye treatments such as LASEK or LASIK. What many people do not know, however, is that certain supplementary insurance policies do contribute to the costs – and sometimes a single phone call to your insurer is worth more than you would think. The exact conditions vary considerably depending on the provider and the insurance model. So here is our advice: pick up the phone before your treatment and ask directly. Sometimes a small supplementary policy holds a big financial advantage. At Argus Augenklinik, we guide you through the jungle of cost questions – transparently, without fees and without pressure. Because good vision should pay off. For your eyes and for your wallet. Curious whether laser eye surgery is an option for you at all? The suitability assessment at Argus Augenklinik is free of charge and without obligation. Let us look together at what is possible. Your eyes are close to our hearts.
