Overview

An Orthoptist is a specialized eye care professional who focuses on diagnosing and treating disorders related to eye movement and coordination. Working closely with ophthalmologists, they handle conditions like strabismus (crossed eyes) and amblyopia (lazy eye). They use non-surgical methods such as vision therapy and eye exercises to help improve patient outcomes. Orthoptists play a crucial role in pediatric and adult eye care. Their expertise supports early detection and management of complex visual disorders.
