Clinical Orthoptics

Clinical orthoptics is a specialized field within eye care that focuses on diagnosing and treating eye movement disorders, binocular vision problems, and visual coordination issues. Orthoptists assess how the eyes work together, identify conditions like crossed eyes or double vision, and develop treatment plans such as eye exercises, visual therapy, or collaboration with other eye specialists. Their goal is to improve visual comfort, coordination, and function, helping patients achieve clearer, more comfortable vision and reducing symptoms associated with eye alignment and coordination problems.
