Tradition meets the future - Augenoptik Bettzuml;ge in Erfurt: Over 120 years of expertise in good vision

In a world where technologies are changing at a rapid pace and many stores are becoming interchangeable chain stores, owner-managed, traditional companies like Augenoptik Bettzuml;ge are a true gem. For over 120 years, the name has stood for quality, reliability, and craftsmanship excellence in Erfurt - combined with a very personal approach to customers and a feel for the individuality of each person.

Augenoptik Bettzüge is not an optician like any other. It's not just about good vision, but about a comprehensive service experience – a trusting relationship between customer and optician that goes far beyond simply selecting a pair of glasses.

A Look into History: From Kröpke to Bettzüge – An Optician Tradition Since 1902

The origins of this traditional business date back to 1902. Back then, Oskar Krüpke founded the optician's shop "Optiker Krüpke" right on the lively Anger in Erfurt – one of the city's most important commercial centers. Over the decades, the company developed into a fixture in Erfurt's cityscape. Today, Michael Bettzuge continues to run the business – as the successor to a long line of dedicated opticians passionately committed to good vision. Under the name Augenoptik Bettzuge, the company is now located on Weitergasse – A quiet, charming address in the heart of Erfurt, which has long since become the first port of call for many regular customers when it comes to optics.

A family business with a sense of humor: Personal. Close. Competent.

Augenoptik Bettzüge is a true family business – and you can feel it in every encounter. Instead of mass processing and impersonal advice, the focus here is on the individual. Every pair of glasses, every contact lens, every measurement is individually planned and implemented – with plenty of time, care, and a trained eye for detail.

Our customers come not only from Erfurt, but from the entire surrounding area – many of them for decades. What unites them is their trust in the competent and friendly advice they can expect at Bettzug.

Strong services for sharp eyes – The comprehensive range of products from Bettzug opticians

Anyone who visits Bettzug opticians will quickly realize: There's much more to it than just selling glasses. The company offers an extraordinary variety of services – from classic eye tests and fashionable style advice to high-precision measuring methods using the latest technology.

👓 Type and style advice – See and be seen

Glasses are not just a medical aid – they are also an expression of personality. That's why the team at Bettzüge Optik takes extra time to provide type and style advice. Whether classic and elegant, modern, sporty, or extravagant, customers will find exactly the glasses that suit their face, their style, and their life. Decades of experience are incorporated: Which frame shape suits which head shape? How does color change the appearance of a face? What emphasizes character without appearing fake? The team answers these questions with genuine expertise and a clear sense of aesthetics.

🔍 State-of-the-art measuring technology for precise eyeglass lenses and contact lenses

Augenoptik Bettzuml;ge relies on the latest eye measurement methods – including DNEye® technology. This allows individual eye parameters to be recorded with high precision. The result: eyeglass lenses and contact lenses that don't just fit "sort of," but are precisely tailored to each individual eye.

Especially for people with special needs – such as sports, driving, or those with sensitive eye muscles – this precision is crucial for a comfortable and fatigue-free visual experience.

🧒 Pediatric Optometry – see early what is importantis

Children's visual development is a central focus at Augenoptik Bettzuml;ge. Many visual impairments arise in childhood and often go undetected if left untreated. The experienced team, led by a specialized pediatric optometrist, offers age-appropriate vision tests and takes plenty of time for young patients.

Through playful methods and a great deal of empathy, we are able to examine children stress-free and identify any abnormalities early on. This allows for optimal development and the prevention of long-term problems.

🛠️ Master Workshop – Handcrafted precision from Erfurt

Augenoptik Bettzüge is a master craftsman's workshop – which means the workshop is located directly in-house. Here, lenses are precisely ground, frames are precisely adjusted, and even damaged glasses are quickly and reliably repaired.

The direct connection between consultation, measurement, and production guarantees the highest quality – and also allows for special requests and custom-made products. This makes each pair of glasses unique, not only fitting perfectly but also impressing with its high-quality workmanship.

🧼 Eyeglass Cleaning & Repair Service – There for you even after the purchase

A service that is often overlooked, but is a matter of course at Augenoptik Bettzulüge: Care, cleaning, and repair. Whether a screw is loose, the nose bridge is pinching, or the lenses have gone cloudy – the team will take care of it. Quickly, easily, and professionally.

We are also happy to provide care instructions and tips to ensure that your glasses and contact lenses stay in top shape for as long as possible.

✅ Eye tests & driver's license tests – No waiting time

Augenoptik Bettzüge is an officially recognized eye test center for driver's license applicants. Anyone needing an eye test for their driver's license can come in without an appointment – ​​simply with an ID card and glasses or contact lenses.

The company also offers comprehensive vision analyses, e.g., for preventative measures for the onset of visual impairment or for special professional requirements (computer work, night vision, etc.). The analysis is carried out using the latest measuring devices and provides precise values ​​– the basis for perfect glasses or lenses.

Exclusive eyewear brands – Stylish and regionally unique

Augenoptik Bettzuml;ge carries selected eyewear brands, many of which are only available here in the region. This exclusivity is no coincidence: The team places great value on quality, design, and sustainability – and consciously decides against mass-produced products.

The collection ranges from timeless classic to avant-garde, from well-known designers to up-and-coming manufacturers. So, anyone looking for glasses with character will find what they're looking for at Bettzuml;ge.
