About Schoonhoven Optics

At Schoonhoven Optics, we are driven by the belief that high-quality eye care should be accessible to all, regardless of geographic location or personal circumstances. In collaboration with Foundation Light for the Eye, we provide on-site eye care services tailored to the needs of seniors, individuals with visual impairments, and those with limited mobility.

Our mission extends far beyond the borders of the Netherlands through the Eye Care Without Borders initiative, a program dedicated to delivering essential eye care to underserved communities across Africa. By bridging the gap between need and accessibility, we strive to restore vision, enhance quality of life, and bring lasting change where it is most needed.

Every eye examination we conduct is carried out with the utmost precision and expertise, in close collaboration with seasoned optometrists who ensure thorough assessments and tailored solutions. When necessary, we consult with renowned ophthalmologists, whose specialized knowledge provides deeper medical insights and guidance, ensuring that each individual receives the highest standard of care.

Comprehensive Eye Examinations

We offer comprehensive eye screenings to detect and manage vision problems at an early stage, ensuring that essential eye care remains accessible to those who need it most. By combining modern technology with professional expertise, we help safeguard eye health with accuracy and care.

Our services include:

🔍 Retinal Imaging with the iCare DRSplus – Using high-resolution fundus photography, we capture clear and detailed images of the retina to assess eye health and detect early signs of glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and other retinal conditions.

🤖 AI-Assisted Analysis – Supporting our screenings with artificial intelligence, we enhance diagnostic precision, allowing for early detection and timely intervention when necessary.

🔬 Accurate Vision Assessments – With the Retinomax Hand Auto Refractor, we conduct precise and efficient eye measurements, helping to determine the most suitable visual correction for each individual.

Our Commitment to Accessible Eye Care

We understand that clear vision is essential for quality of life, which is why we are committed to providing accessible, non-commercial, and patient-centered eye care. In the Netherlands, our examinations are offered free of chargethrough Foundation Light for the Eye, and we assist patients in navigating insurance reimbursements whenever applicable.

Through Eye Care Without Borders, our mission extends beyond national borders, bringing on-site eye examinations and prescription glasses to communities where vision care remains a luxury. By ensuring access to essential eye care, we support adults in their daily lives and help seniors regain their independence—one pair of glasses at a time.
