Augenarzt Praxis Dr. Adam

What Augenarzt Praxis Dr. Adam does

Augenpraxis Untertor AG, operating as Augenarzt Praxis Dr. Adam, is a single-location ophthalmology practice founded in 2010 by Dr. med. Hiltrud Adam at Untertor 4 in Winterthur, Canton of Zurich, Switzerland. The legal entity is registered as a Swiss Aktiengesellschaft (CHE-173.221.253) with approximately 6-7 staff, including the founder-physician, two part-time consulting ophthalmologists (Dr. med. Christine Dankov on Mondays, Dr. med. Marios Tsangarides on Wednesdays), an orthoptist (Frau Della Sega) for pediatric strabismus and adult binocular vision disorders, two medical assistants (Frau Rüegg and Frau Siegrist) handling front desk and preliminary diagnostics, and an organizational/technical support role (Herr M. Steinle).

The practice offers the full spectrum of modern ophthalmology across diagnostic and surgical service lines. Diagnostic capabilities are anchored by OCT (optical coherence tomography) for macular degeneration, Zeiss IOL-Master 700 biometry and Okulix raytracing for intraocular lens calculation (including post-LASIK patients), TMS 4 corneal topography, Plusoptix pediatric photoscreening, and YAG laser for secondary cataract treatment. Surgical procedures - performed as outpatient operations at the partnered Eulachklinik facility - include cataract surgery with multiple IOL options (aspherical, blue-light-filter, toric, multifocal/trifocal, and add-on lenses), intravitreal injections for wet age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, vascular occlusions, and macular edema, plus oculoplastic eyelid surgery (upper-lid blepharoplasty, lid malposition correction, tumor and chalazion removal, pterygium). Non-surgical services include general eye check-ups, driver's license vision tests, pediatric ophthalmology with orthoptic vision training, dry eye treatment including lacrimal duct plugs, and glaucoma workups.

The business model is a fee-for-service direct-to-consumer medical practice billing under the Swiss TARMED tariff schedule, supplemented by out-of-pocket fees for premium IOLs and cosmetic eyelid procedures. Patient acquisition relies on a professional website with OneDoc online booking, telephone scheduling, a contact form, and word-of-mouth - there is no paid advertising or social media presence. Distribution is single-site with all surgery outsourced to one surgical partner, serving patients regionally across Canton of Zurich and surrounding areas. The practice holds no external investors, has no funding history, operates no subsidiaries, and shows no M&A activity.

Broad incumbents

• Carl Zeiss Meditec: Manufacturer of the Zeiss IOL-Master 700 biometry device and other ophthalmic diagnostic and surgical equipment used in premium ophthalmology practices. Comparable as the supplier of core diagnostic technology, not a direct competitor.
• Alcon: Global leader in ophthalmic devices, surgical instruments, and IOLs used in cataract surgery. Comparable only as a broad incumbent in the value chain; supplies the IOLs and surgical consumables that Dr. Adam's practice uses in its cataract operations.
• Heidelberg Engineering: Manufacturer of OCT and ophthalmic imaging systems widely used in medical-retina and glaucoma practices. Comparable as a supplier of the diagnostic imaging technology stack that Dr. Adam's practice relies on for macular degeneration and glaucoma workups.

Regional players

• Bellevue Augenpraxis Zürich: Zurich-based ophthalmology practice offering cataract surgery, intravitreal injections, and general eye care in the same Canton of Zurich catchment. Comparable service portfolio to Dr. Adam but located in central Zurich, representing direct regional competition.
• Smile Eyes Augenklinik: Germany-based ophthalmology clinic chain focused on refractive and cataract surgery with premium IOL offerings. Comparable premium-IOL and surgical positioning to Dr. Adam's practice, but does not directly compete in the Winterthur catchment.
• Ober Scharrer Gruppe: Largest German ophthalmology network operating outpatient eye clinics and surgical centers. Comparable in offering full ophthalmology service lines including cataract surgery, but operates primarily in Germany rather than Switzerland.
• Augenzentrum ONO: Swiss ophthalmology group practice with locations in the German-speaking part of Switzerland. Comparable in providing medical and surgical eye care with integrated orthoptics and modern diagnostic equipment.

Direct peers

• Pallas Kliniken: Swiss multi-site ophthalmology chain offering cataract surgery, refractive surgery, and general eye care across multiple cantons. Directly comparable to Dr. Adam's practice in service mix and Swiss-market operating model, but at materially larger scale.
• Augenklinik Gut: St. Gallen-based Swiss ophthalmology clinic with comprehensive diagnostic, surgical, and refractive services. Comparable in offering full-spectrum medical and surgical ophthalmology with modern equipment, but operating from a larger regional hub.
• Vista Augenpraxen: Swiss group of ophthalmology clinics providing comprehensive eye care including diagnostics, cataract and refractive surgery. Comparable in service breadth and direct-to-patient positioning, with broader geographic coverage than Dr. Adam's practice.
