British Orthoptic Society

The British Orthoptic Society is a professional organization representing orthoptists—specialized healthcare practitioners who assess and treat eye movement and binocular vision issues. Their goal is to improve eye health, especially conditions like strabismus (crossed eyes) and amblyopia (lazy eye), through clinical expertise, research, and education. The society supports its members by promoting best practices, advancing knowledge in the field, and advocating for patients' eye health. Essentially, it helps ensure patients receive high-quality eye care related to eye alignment and coordination.
