Optician / optometrist in Cointrin: what to know
An optician / optometrist tests your eyesight, checks visual acuity and determines the correction you need. They advise on, fit and adjust glasses or contact lenses, and can spot certain signs that call for an appointment with an ophthalmologist.
When to book an appointment
- Blurred distance vision or difficulty reading close up
- Renewing or adjusting your existing prescription glasses
- Being fitted for contact lenses for the first time
- An eye test before applying for a driving licence
Costs in Switzerland
In Switzerland, basic health insurance contributes to glasses and contact lenses only in limited cases, particularly for children; supplementary insurance may offer a contribution depending on your policy.
Frequently asked questions — optician / optometrist in Cointrin
Optician / optometrist in Cointrin: how do I book an appointment?
Choose a postcode or turn on “Bookable online”: practitioners who offer booking on Synamed are shown first. For the others, show their number and call the practice.
How much does a consultation cost?
The price depends on the consultation. Medical services are billed under the TARDOC tariff and covered by basic health insurance (LAMal/KVG), minus your deductible and co-payment. Complementary medicine is usually covered by supplementary insurance.
My insurance requires me to see my family doctor first. What should I do?
With a family-doctor, HMO or telemedicine model, you must usually contact your family doctor, HMO centre or advice line before seeing a specialist. Check the terms of your policy before booking.
Is a video consultation covered?
As a rule, yes: a video consultation with a doctor is covered by basic insurance like a visit to the practice, with the same deductible and co-payment.
