If you are a patient or family member interested in participating in a study, you can contact the Eye & Ear Study Center - they will be happy to inform you if there is a suitable study available. Colleagues in private practice are also welcome to inform themselves at any time.
If you are referred to the eye clinic as an emergency, please register at the patient registration desk. If the registration desk is no longer open, please go to the information desk (gate).
The eye clinic offers patients medical care tailored to their individual needs and has new forms of treatment and surgical techniques at its disposal so that highly complex operations can be performed.
Make an appointment
The University Eye Hospital is difficult to reach by telephone due to the high number of calls. Please understand for longer waiting times until reaching the corresponding consultation hour. It is also possible to make an appointment in the consultation hours and outpatient clinics by e-mail, online contact form or fax.
Referring clinics and practices can also register via a special fax form.
Here you can find out how to register with us, how outpatient treatment and your stay with us works or what you should bring with you for an inpatient stay.
Free information events for patients and interested parties on various eye diseases and treatment methods are held at regular intervals.

In its structure as a Department of Ophthalmology, the University Eye Hospital together with the Institute for Ophthhalmic Research researches eye diseases and develops new therapeutic methods. For the Department of Ophthalmology, 15 research groups and two sections are investigating different aspects of ophthalmology. Planning and conducting preclinical and clinical research are as much a part of the expertise of the clinic as the implementation of innovative developments of new therapeutic procedures.
The Department is one of the thirteen medical centres of excellence in the state of Baden-Württemberg and the only one of its kind for ophthalmology.
Scientific research is personnel and material cost intensive. Although the majority of the research funds of the Tübingen University Eye Hospital come from third-party funding (DFG, foundations, industry), donations are indispensable for many reasons.
