Optometry

After completing my studies at Aalen University of Applied Sciences, I quickly realized that my future lay in the field of contact lenses. Today, I fit contact lenses for medical purposes at MÜLLER WELT in Stuttgart, where I get to help people improve their vision and quality of life every day.

My studies at Aalen University of Applied Sciences showed me that optometry is exactly the right career path for me. Today, I’m starting my own business with the eyewear shop in Essingen. What’s particularly important to me is connecting with people and maintaining a family-friendly work environment.

My studies enabled me to work in an ophthalmology practice and laser center, where my daily routine is full of variety. My responsibilities include preliminary ophthalmological examinations, diagnostic tests using modern equipment, and assisting in the operating room.

I have very fond memories of my studies in Aalen. In addition to providing me with a solid technical foundation for my career in optometry, the program also gave me many valuable experiences. I am, of course, particularly pleased that my son is now also studying optometry and optometry in Aalen.

As a woman and mother of two children, my journey from Aalen University of Applied Sciences to the executive management of Hecht CL wasn’t always easy. I was driven by my passion for optometry and the courage to see change as an opportunity. The foundation I gained in Aalen gave me the confidence to do so.

My profession is so diverse—ranging from eye exams and contact lens fitting to tear film analysis, color vision deficiencies, and optometric visual function training (OSFT).

The studies in Optometry at Aalen University of Applied Sciences opened up a fantastic career opportunity for me at ZEISS Vision Care. Today, I lead Product Management VTS there, an interesting combination of developing and marketing innovations for the optometry industry
