orthoptistákkal
Orthoptists are allied health professionals who specialize in the assessment and management of visual disorders related to binocular vision, eye movement, and visual development. They work with patients of all ages, from infants to the elderly, who experience problems such as strabismus (crossed or turned eyes), amblyopia (lazy eye), double vision, and convergence insufficiency. Orthoptists employ a range of diagnostic tools and therapeutic techniques, including vision therapy, exercises, and sometimes prisms or patching, to improve visual function and eye alignment. Their role is crucial in preserving and enhancing vision, especially in cases where early intervention can prevent long-term visual impairment. They often collaborate with ophthalmologists and optometrists to provide comprehensive eye care. The specific scope of practice and title may vary slightly by country, but the core focus remains on the intricate relationship between the eyes and how they work together.
