What are the costs?

The cost of a visual field examination depends on the underlying disease and insurance. For some patients with proven visual disorders or eye diseases, the examination is covered by the health insurance company, both statutory and private, and is therefore free of charge for the patient. Even for different occupational groups who have to undergo regular eye examinations, the examination is often free of charge.

These include pilots or drivers, for example. If one would like to have a visual field examination for other reasons, it usually costs no more than 15-20€. In most cases, the costs of a visual field examination are covered by the health insurance companies.

The reason for a cost coverage can be, for example, an existing eye disease that requires frequent check-ups. Often, however, the cost coverage depends on whether you are insured by public or private health insurance. To be on the safe side, you should ask your health insurance company about cost coverage. With statutory health insurance companies, treatment is often only considered an IGeL service.
