Rehabilitative Orthoptics

Rehabilitative orthoptics focuses on improving vision and eye coordination for individuals who have vision problems, especially those related to eye muscle control and alignment. It involves specialized exercises and techniques to help strengthen the eye muscles, enhance visual skills, and improve overall eye function. This approach is often used for conditions such as strabismus (crossed eyes) and amblyopia (lazy eye). Orthoptists work with patients of all ages to tailor rehabilitation programs that support visual development and function, ultimately aiming to improve quality of life through better vision.
